It's a good day in my world.....

Not that I don't usually have good days, but this one is particularly good. Why, you may ask? Because Starbucks has started selling their Gingerbread Latte; a seasonal bit of heaven that quadruples my caffeine intake between the months of November-January every single year. A local morning DJ calls it 'liquid crack', and I'd have to agree. Of course, having never tried actual crack, I can't specifically say it's as addictive, but you get the idea. I was so excited, I made myself 20 mintues late for work so I could drive out of my way to pick up a GL. And it was good. No, it doesn't usually take a lot to make me happy.

It's a big weekend, here in the Baltimore/D.C. area, most of it revolving around the boyfriend. Tonight is the annual talent show at the school where he teaches. Now, I saw most of this show at a dress rehearsal earlier this week and I have to admit, it's kind of frightening how good some of these middle school kids are. I for one don't remember anybody in my middle school being able to sing like some of these kids can. Nor do I remember anybody being able to ride a unicycle or belly dance (I kid you not about the belly dancers in the show). It's impressive.

After being a supportive girlfriend tonight, tomorrow we'll celebrate his birthday! Wohoo!!! Since our birthdays are only days apart (mine's next week!) and it's so close to Christmas, and we're on tight budgets, there won't be any big presents, but I will be taking him out to dinner and then we're heading to the opera to see one of his students perform. I don't think I've ever been to see an entire opera, which is weird given my musical background. I'm more excited to see his student, though. That's just cool.

Until next week......
