January Already?

My last entry was entitled "Time Flies." Boy, does it. It's almost the middle of January. I have things I have to do every month at work, such as monitor phone calls and "grade" them. Every month I resolve to get them done sooner. When I turn around, it's the middle of the month already.

Something happened tonight that I want to discuss. I have a friend who drinks. A lot. And drives. My basest feeling is this: she has driven and lot and always gets where she needs to go. She is also very headstrong. I know that you're supposed to get the keys. The dilemma every time is this. Is it worth fisticuffs to take the keys when chances are pretty damn good that she will get home ok. My answer to that is no. So each time, I let her go. And so far, each time she has made it home. I will kick myself that one tiem she doesn't.

I'm going to Florida in a week and a half. It will be the first time I've flown since 9/11. It'll be the first time I've flown since 1994. Honestly, I'm a little bit nervous. I'm sure everything will be fine, but you can bet I'll be thinking about this posting on the way down if something happens. :) (Dark humor there, but what's life without that.)

Chris and I are still together. Almost two months now. I'm going to have a little fun with him for Valentine's Day. On the chance he might read this, I'll tell you afterward what my plan is.

I'm going to go for now. You know, save some of my thoughts for another night. Have fun and be safe!
