I should have done this a long time ago. I have never felt such a sense of empowerment in my whole life! God, what was I waiting for. Not only that, but I find myself being more blunt and just slightly more flirtatious when we are out at the local bars and pubs. Loving this new found sense of freedom. This whole thing that happened with Dan should have happened a long time ago. Speaking of, talked to him on Friday. Just wanted to touch base again. I know, I know, bad idea right? Actually, I've gotten waaayyyy beyond this whole thing. We were becoming pretty good friends before last Saturday. I'd like to go back to that. Seems like he's the one with the problem now. Long story short, called him Friday afternoon from work to throw out the invite for New Years (trip to Baltimore if anyone in the area is interested) and make sure he was still on for the Caps game in January. We got into an argument. He told me he doesn't know if he can hang out knowing how I felt (operative word being "felt" as in the past tense) about him. Ugh. I told him I'm past it, just want to be friends again. He said he thinks he would be too uncomfortable. Whatever. We're doing lunch on Friday. We'll see what happens then.

Had the family Christmas parties this weekend. Woo-hoo. Yee-ha. Can you tell how excited I was? The trip to Maryland was o.k., no one yelled or threw anything yet. As of my departure from my parents house around 6:30 tonight, everything was still intact and no one was mad at anyone that I knew of. All in all a good time. Lots of Target gift cards. Love that place. I think a shopping spree will be in order for Friday afternoon after Dan leaves. Oh yeah.

That's it. Not much else happening in my world. For now all is calm and I like it that way. Bring on the New Year and bring on the debauchery!
