Movin on up...

Well, I'm still not better and breathing is still fairly uncomfortable, but on Thursday I decided I was not sick anymore. Not because I actually felt better, but because I was BORED. On Tuesday it was a girlfriend of mines birthday, so I went down to her place for a wine and cheese party. I wasn't drinking and I wasn't running and we were sitting there talking and she looked at me funny and said something like you're not drinking wine, you're not running, I mean, what are you doing? Seriously though, it's making me crazy. On Wednesday we had our last soccer game of the season, we won 8 or 9 to 1 and we ended the season undefeated. It was great because it meant we move up to the next division. Oddly, if I were to pick the thing I would miss the most about Dubai, it would likely be soccer. Where ever I go, I really hope there is a team I can play on, but I can't imagine the people will be nearly as great. We got these bright new uniforms and a new name, how can I leave? We start again in February or March. We had our end of the season get together this weekend it was really fun. Shockingly enough, it was at Barasti. It was perfect though, we met at around 4:00 and I ended up staying till 11 or so. We just sat outside on these big loungy chairish/bedish things and ate and drank and talked for hours. By the end of the night I was making sweeping generalizations about certain careers and making huge stereotypes that weren't necessarily nice and think I may have said a bit too much and am debating if I should be making some apology phone calls. Before that, we somehow started talking about life goals and I decided it was perfectly acceptable to steal other peoples... I'm now thinking the seven summits are on my list. Speaking of lists, I actually have a notebook of about a zillion things I want to do and I brought it to work today so I could add/edit/etc. and make a plan for getting some of those things done. I also hadn't looked at it for a while and was able to cross some things off. Kate helped me break down the list into some smaller, manageable and achievable goals that I can do right now, so, I need to make a cheesecake, do a pull up and practice tennis. We'll see if any of those things happen this year. The rest of the weekend was actually awesome too. Both days I was outside, the weather is perfect. I went to an outdoor market, out to lunch, a tennis match, the Irish Village, ran errands and didn't get lost, not one time...all in all a very normal weekend. It's almost like I could live here...
