Various, Misc., etc.

It's been a hectic couple of weeks since Labor Day wknd. I...

• Took Merlin to the vet and he's lost 3 lbs (in 6 months). We think he is lovable just the way he is but the vet wants him to lose some weight, so this is great progress!
• Went to a housewarming/birthday party for a friend.
• Caught up with different friends over lunch or dinner.
• Am playing matchmaker to 2 people (cross your fingers!) tomorrow.
  
• Start this new program on Thursday.
• Will be hanging out at the Southern Women's Show for the annual Dress for Success fundraiser. Andie McDowell is supposed to speak, there will be wine/hors d'oeuvres, a goodie bag, and best of all, a few friends with whom to enjoy this!
• Have also been lazy on the weekends and not done enough cleaning, errand-running, etc. Instead, I have slept a lot, and read a lot. I'm blaming it on all the stress in the financial services industry, and my hectic schedule on the weekdays... well, that's my story and I'm sticking to it.
• Can't wait until this weekend, which I'm spending in Durham with the Ws.
