Full moons, mojitos, and tequila shots

Well, today we have the first full moon of 2007. The world is full of people with new intentions, with hangovers, and with a harness around their bellies and mouths as they try to "drop a few pounds."

I, on the other hand, will celebrate the full moon with friends at the local tacqueria after my yoga class. My less-new eating style requires that I skip the sweet mixture in margaritas and mojitos, so I will just order shots and tacos. (Btw, I've lost 10 pounds now on my no wheat no sugar regiment).

But here is what I'm thinking. If I don't get the job at Hunter (oh, and I want it -- it would be a perfect job for me), at least I won't have to start over again making friends. I've been going out regularly with a great group of women from the yoga studio, and it reminds me that it takes quite a while to make friends when you move to a new place (I think we've been here about a year and seven months). So, if I get the news that I'm not the chosen one (they said they would let me know in early February), at least I have friends to drown my sorrows with.

So, here's to friends -- old and new -- and to finding consolation in whatever happens.
