List of the Day - 10 Things I'm Looking Forward To

1. Dinner tonight. Now that I've gotten my appetite back (and some weight to go with it), I'm excited about eating again! Tonight will be fun, the food will be yummy, and I'll be with a friend. Can't beat that ;-)

2. Paying off a credit card. After months of not using this one and paying extra on it, I'm finally in a position where I can make the final payment. Yay for me!!!

3. The weekend. My family is coming over on Saturday for cake and ice cream for my little man's birthday. It will be nice to have us all together. This is the first year that I've not invited my ex-husband to a family celebration, and I feel like a huge weight has been lifted.

4. Thanksgiving. It is my favorite holiday. Time for friends and family to get together, not having to worry about buying a bunch of presents, and all the yummy desserts.

5. Fall. Finally it has come to Chicagoland. The air this morning is crisp and cool, there's no humidity, and I can wear a sweater without getting too warm.

6. Working on my bathroom. My best friend started working on it a few months ago. He got the icky wallpaper off and painted it my favorite color. It is far from finished, but it looks 1000 times better than it did when I bought the house. This is one room that I can see being completed before the end of the year, and I'm excited!

7. Monday, October 1. This is the day that I will quit smoking. I know it's not hard to do because I've done it in the past. This is the time that I will stay quit, and no amount of stress will cause me to start again.

8. Finishing this book. I've been reading a facinating book entitled "In the Meantime". It talks about love, but it goes much deeper than relationship love. It talks about loving yourself, cleaning out your old baggage, and how to treat others. It talks about how once you become right with yourself, everything else will fall into place. It's something that I've always known, and at times practiced rigorously, but I've seem to forgotten it lately.

9. Taking the kids bowling. My little man had his kids' party this past Saturday, and it was a bowling party. He had so much fun doing it that I've decided to take the kids myself, just the three of us. And I think by using the bumpers, I may even do better myself ;-)

10. Football Sunday. Ah, what can I say. My Packers are 3 and 0, my Titans won Monday night, and the Bears are sucking. Ha ha ha, all is good in the land of football!
