Hi Pattie,

Thank you very much.

Well, I haven't even got the breakdown of my goals posted and already taking steps that meet part of them!

Saturday night T sent me an e-mail and asked how about getting together for dinner and margaritas as he hadn't been able to celebrate the New Year. I think I have posted before he is G's friend, (mine as well now ), that is in the wheelchair and just has a super attitude!!!

He is starting a second business of managing models and doing photography. He has done some awesome shoots and has several models now that he is managing. He and his partner were booked to do photo's at a Country Club New Year's Eve dance and he said they were super busy!!! I think he also wanted to celebrate.

I knew M, (neighbor), was probably going to come over after getting home from work so I called her and asked if she was interested in dinner. She was and had forgotten how to get to the restaurant so she came by picked me up and we met T. Had a really nice evening! Since M drove I got to help T with the pitcher of margaritas that he had on the table before M and I arrived!

Then last night G had asked about getting together for dinner. I thought I was going to be doing something with my van but turns out dad was busy so met G for dinner. He offered to pick me up but I told him I would meet him. I said see you no longer have to pick me up to get me out of the houses. He laughed and said very good.

So not even a week into the new year and I have been out with friends twice already!!!!!!!!!

Shara has a herding lesson scheduled for this Saturday afternoon and that morning FB has his first obedience class.

Right now my van won't start. Dad is going to come down and we are going to try jumping it and taking it in to see what they find is wrong with it. Hopefully nothing serious!

I am working on the steps to go under my 2005 goals and close to having them done for at least the first month of the year.

My C session I think went pretty well the other night. She said she can definitely see progress and that was only our 4th session. I only go every 2 weeks. She is going out on her own and said I am welcome to continue seeing her or she can refer me to someone else at the office I am seeing her at now.

I asked her if she felt she and I could work on me or if I needed to see a different type of therapist. She said she felt no problem for us to work through my stuff but if at any time she felt or I felt I needed something else she would definitely refer me. She will also be a tad less expensive on her own than what I am paying now.

Sunday M called and came over and we hung pictures in my bedroom and my office room so the house is closer to being sort of complete.

I did work on boxes in the garage a bit on Sunday as well. Actually started the van backed it out so I had room in the garage and when I went to pull it back in is when it wouldn't start.

So wow, writing that all out looks busier than it feels!
