Such a good weekend and it's not over yet

Yay! Lilah is engaged to a man that I set her up with- my third match and what is better than finding your best friend her husband? It's so exciting and it also just makes me happy about who I am that I did this for her even though I am single. I'm not upset to be "left behind" i'm just excited because I know she deserves it and I know that my time will come. And I have been having a grand ole time too. Ok I didn't get engaged this weekend but I had a meeting with this eating disorder center and all of the therapists who have been working in the field for YEARS loved the clip of the film. They said this is the movie that they would have made. I am beyond excited and they want me to speak at their upcoming conference and arrange an in-service to train them to work with this community. I am so excited and I know that by the time I get my PhD I will be well regarded and connected in this field. I am really paving my way. I also secured a male bulimic for the film as well as two married survivors. I booked them for a week from tomorrow which hopefully will be our last day of shooting.
Emmet's friend came for Shabbat because I heard that he didn't have plans and I invited him. It was really nice to have him here and to have him just because I thought he might need a place to be. We went to minyan on Friday night and then went to dinner at Sean and Kim. It was really fun and relaxed and I just feel like I belong and am appreciated for being myself in the very best way. We went to Stella's new apt for lunch and it was more of the same. Tonight I went with Justin (Emmet's friend) and his boyfriend (who did my hair) to a party down the block. I danced with friends and drank and had fun and then we went to get some food next door. It was one of those nights when you feel like it is fun to live in the East Village and be young and have friends and enjoy life. I got home at 4 am and found Emmet depressed on the couch so we talked it out and now I am going to sleep. I have to wake up relatively early to train for the helpline but if I get really tired I can take a nap after training at 4. Hopefully I will meet Sarah for dinner later on. I have lots of fun plans for this week like book club and Juliet's going away party and dinner party at Jesse and other stuff we talked about over the course of the weekend. I also have to book tickets to present the film in Austin and Israel and finish up filming and meet with the PR department and hopefully get to the gym. I do feel like I have looked cute all weekend in the new clothes I bought with my mom in LA and I have been taken care of myself but I know I have to pay more attention to what I eat and I have to get to the gym more regularly. I did make tentative swimming plans with Kim for Monday and Wednesday so it's a start. Oh and I am going to school this week to look at a lab that I may work in next year and I made plans with Emmet's friend to buy wine and cheese for the party I am hosting next week for my future classmates. I feel like things are coming together and just moving in the right direction. Hopefully it will keep going that way.
