planning ahead...

I was talking to one of our patients at work this week and she suddenly stopped, looked at me, and with a look of dawning realization said 'you always know exactly what is going on 4 weeks from now, you always plan 4 weeks ahead.' It's true. That is what I do. I'm constantly setting appointments 4 weeks in advance. Keeping this in mind, Friday will be Halloween. 4 weeks from Thursday will be Thanksgiving. That will officially kick off the beginning of the Christmas season. Also that means my birthday is coming. There are so many great things that people do for Christmas and the Christmas season and more than anything I'd like to do them all, but I know my means and I know myself and therefore know that I can't do it all. Because my birthday is so close to Christmas, I try to choose one thing and treat myself to one thing for my birthday,the so-called gift to self. This is this year's list of things I could do for my birthday.
1) Tabernacle Choir Christmas concert
2) A Christmas Carol
3) Plaid Tidings
4) The Nutcracker
5) Muppet Christmas Carol/Homemade Eggnog Party
6) Bodyworlds 3 (not exactly Christmas-y, but fascinates me)
7) Buy myself WICKED tickets (they go on sale on my birthday)
8) Eat curry.
9) Start a "12 Days of Christmas" service project or movie festival
10) Peppermint Icecream (innumerable possibilities)
11) NOT see the TWILIGHT movie (pretty sure there was divine intervention there...)
Really, the possibilities are endless and THAT make me quite happy.
