Today is our first snow of the season. November turned out to be a glorious month, warm and sunny most days. We've been walking up Mount Philo almost every day for weeks, and it gives J and I a time to talk without other distractions. Before Thanksgiving, we talked about the upcoming meal. Now we talk about our planned dinner parties, and soon, it will be all about the Christmas dinner meal. I can't be excited about everything I put in my mouth but I'm trying to be interested. I go back and forth between being excited about the holidays and finding some new interest, and being totally vacant, browsing blogs that only make me feel worse about how little i'm accomplishing.
The other day, I decided to put together a new resume with my most recent work on it. I started looking at sports bras on the web, and found that an amazing number of my designs are not only still available, but have been named top sellers at retail. I opened Lucky magazine, and two of my designs are featured in a full page ad for my former employer. Even more funny, yesterday while shopping at Gap body in a huge mall, I came across two of my designs now being sold through that former employer to the Gap. Crazy, I say, but it made me proud.
Even with that boot up, I'm still having trouble getting out of bed. Maybe tomorrow will be better.
