Best Day yet!
 
This day, two weeks from the horrible night I left my XABF, I'm feeling rather good.

Bought a cute outfit yesterday so I'd feel good today. Took time with my appearance. Very successful morning (got high praise from a consultant at work -- I'm in the media, praise is hard to come by!). Very productive day at work! Got my nails done at lunch. Have plans this weekend tonight through Saturday night with friends. Getting a pedi and spray tan tomorrow!

I'm keeping busy and keeping positive. I keep hoping this lasts!

sounds like a great day, jessie! :) i went out last night for a friend's birthday and had SO much fun! we had pre-dinner wine (diet coke for this non-drinker!) and cupcakes at a cupcake lounge, a LONG and funny dinner at an italian restaurant, and then post-dinner shenanigans at a country and western bar/dancer club. you know what the best part was? not a SINGLE one of them cared that i didn't have any alcohol, or accused me of "exuding bitch" because i'm the quiet observer in the group. they love me for who i am and realize, unlike xabf, that people are in fact capable of celebrating and having fun without being stone cold drunk!

cheers to your great day! here's hoping we BOTH have many more in store. :)

Thanks, y'all! And, Shawty, I'm so glad you had a super (and sweet - mmm, cupcakes!) time out with fun people who made you feel comfortable and appreciated! : )
