12 Bars of Cmas - we made it to 9 bars. Not so bad. I had a total of 5 drinks over the period of 4 pm - 11 pm so I stayed true to my every other bar code. Dane didn't and ended up getting drunk. It was funny. I, on the other hand, had a 10 am personal training session so I didn't want to go overboard.
Audit/work - The audit went well and I got the unofficial/offical news that our management letter only contains "other comments" which aren't so bad. We still got a management letter, but what can you do? Kudos to me, I'm very proud! Now I have two months worth of backlog stuff that I need to clear up in a matter of days! Should be challenging but doable.
Home - we FINALLY got a new couch. We bought a couch set and rug from Macy's using extreme discounts. It's getting delivered as I type. There was a slight hang up in that the rug that was originally delivered was the wrong style, but Macy's made it right by giving me the display rug and personally delivering and installing the rug themselves. Then we got a coffee table from Brookstone but when we opened the box the table was completely damaged! So we had to get a new one sent to us and expedited since I have company coming over next week. I'm really excited - I've waited a long time for a nice living room set.
School - I just started a "Wealth Maximizing" class at UOP and I have to say my edge on accounting/finance will definitely come in handy. I managed to get all my homework done this week without cutting in to my personal time. I'm looking forward to this class and have high hopes for the teacher. He seems cool and we have him for our next two classes so I'm hoping he works out.
Exercise - I'm still seeing Quinn 2 - 3 times a week and she's kicking my butt but we haven't seen the results we were anticipating so we've changed up my diet to follow a strict measuring and serving pattern. We'll see how it works. I'm really trying to focus on losing weight and make it my priority right now. So far it's been going well. Dane and I love the Golds Gym - it is so nice! Just a few tidbits - it has a movie cardio room that plays a movie (changes every day) on a movie theatre size screen w/ stereo and a ton of cardio machines, they have beautiful locker rooms with cherry wood lockers, all the soaps, mouthwash, shampoos, lotions, hair styling equipment and everything you could want PLUS a plush lounge IN the locker room, they have towel service so we don't have to bring our own, they have a smoothie/espresso bar, beautiful clean pool and hot tub, attached spa, equipment cleaners on damn near every machine, special aerobics room, spinning room, and yoga room, and the best part - each and EVERY cardio machine has it's very own 30+ station tv including 3 DVD movie feeds and the Golds Gym Network (which plays the accompanying music video to whatever song is playing overhead)! And all for only $5 more a month than what we were paying at the old, decrepid 24 Hour Fitness. Simply put, it's a gym that you actually want to go to.
Other - so this weekend is reserved for holiday parties. My company holiday party is this afternoon and then I need to get prepared for Dane's bling bling party. And by that I mean pedicure, tanning, pick a shirt/tie out for Dane and so on. Then tomorrow is a busy, busy day. I have school from 9 - 1, tanning, then hair appointment from 2 - 4, then I have to come home and get gussied up and leave by 5:30. I got a beautiful red dress to wear that's kinda wild but I think I can pull it off. Not sure what to do w/ my hair. I want it down but it will cover the back of the dress, which is the draw. So I might have it pulled up but with loose curls or something. I dunno. I'll post a pic though. Till next time:
