The waiting game

When the Farragut set sail back in January I had so many plans, so much I wanted to accomplish. I think between February and May I was working out so hard, trying to get in a fitness groove and learning how to push myself and eat more of the right things. By the end of May my focus turned to finances, working towards being debt-free by the time Brian returns. In June I think I worked on helping others accomplish a few goals by spending my weekend with ladies that needed an extra set of hands and muscles for some big projects. Now in July I have been focused on the apartment, decorating and organizing. I got a storage unit for some of our extra stuff that we rarely need like Christmas decorations, etc. The thing is, with all this drive to get it all done, I am now basically done and have accomplished most everything on my list. The last minute details take very little time in the grand scheme of things. I finished everything too early and now I am stuck in the waiting room. :( Luckily I have a painting to finish and a few more seasons of Sex In the City to watch. I am having the carpets cleaned and my hair lightened to blond on Tuesday. I feel like there are so few projects for the amount of time that remains. Help, somebody give me something to do!

Last night Jenny and I went to dinner at the North Beach Bistro. It was she and her husband's 10th wedding anniversary. It is hard to enjoy such a significant moment when your spouse is halfway around the world. I told Brian that I was gonna be her stand in groom for the evening. We had a great time. I wish we had taken a photo of the two of us. Her husband sent her the most beautiful matching necklace and earrings. Boy is she blingin'! We had a great time and I honestly don't think I have eaten that much since December. I was so miserable afterwards but it was worth it. The food was amazing. I ordered Mahi Mahi with Mango.... MMMMMM.

This morning he called and woke me...YAY! :) We laughed and I got a little choked up once. He is just everything I want and need ... and so, so far away from home.
