Return of "I'm looking forward to..."

UvaGirl · 08-16-2005, 02:42 PM

What is high on your list of anticipation right now? Could be short term, could be long term - whatever.

Me:

Friday/the weekend: sleeping in, catching up with friends - good times

Daylight savings starting in October - I love longer days and more sunshine

Summer - I'm just so much happier in Summer

My pay increase coming through - enough said

What are you looking forward to?

Not Afraid · 08-16-2005, 02:48 PM

My first 2 pet-sitting jobs. (Yeah, that's my new "career"!)

Chicago

Cooler weather / Fall - Sweater Weather

Making the plans for the backyard landscaping come to life

Completing other house projects

The last of the Cemetery Screenings

Planning more non-Disney events.

Shortest term: As a reward for getting a project completed ahead of schedule, marketing is treating us lowly engineers to all-you-can-eat pizza and beer at BJs tonight. Yay!

Continuing the free food them, tomorrow I will be in our company suite at Angels Stadium. And this time, it's being hosted by our VP, which means A) a chance to schmooz with my manager, director, and VP and B) catered food and beer!

A bunch more little things on the horizon, but if I start thinking more than a day or two out, my mind quickly jumps to the end of October and our trip to Paris! I can't be more excited.

my trip to Maine in 2 weeks to go shopping for fall clothes at LL Bean.

seeing Cirque du Soleil's Corteo in Toronto over Labo(u)r Day Weekend, then stopping to shop at Ikea on the way back.

Having just returned from the vacation of a lifetime, I'm actually looking forward to:

All the normal day-to-day life activities....

Getting the house cleaned up from panic-packing
Clearing out three weeks of weeds and other creepy stuff from the yard
Starting some new projects at work.

Oh ****! Wait a second. I just realized it. I AM suffering from post-vacation depression. Damn.

Short term - Dinner, catching up on what seems to have been a busy day on LoT

Near Term - getting the Re-org overwith at work, a Chicago swanking

Long Term - getting the house in order, moving stuff out of storage, planning a future international trip

Two vacations coming up (but not soon enough)
DL in October
WDW in Nov/Dec -- Got the Candlelight Dinner Package for the day/show/restaurant/meal time that we wanted. I guess it DOES pay to get on the phone at 7:00 Eastern to wait for an hour! Just another week and a half and can make the remaing ADRs that are needed: Jiko on our arrival day and a progressive dinner for one sister and myself: Appetizers at Wilderness Lodge; entrees at Narcoossee's; dessert at California Grill! (The other sister and her hubby are doing a romantic dinner, just the two of them, that night!)

short term: going to sea world this weekend. I haven't been in 8 years and I'm so excited. We're having breakfast with shamu (I just hope he isn't feeling frisky in the morning. I heard sometimes he drenches the diners.) and we have reserved seating for all the shows and front of the line to some theater or circus they have there.

long term: my tax return...and paying off my car...LOL...my daughter graduating high school and getting out of this teenage phase...*sigh*

Cool weather
Going to Disneyland (I haven't been since April because of my back)
Getting a boyfriend
Playing D&D
The release of Complete Psionic <drool>
