Back in Business

[slideshow]

So after quite a long hiatus or sabbatical, whichever you prefer. I am back and blogging. FINALLY adding pictures of my rented furniture. I don't like it much but it is comfy and gets the job done. I would never choose it on my own though. Anyhow, a lot has happened. I started work and it's been going pretty well. I'm finally starting to figure things out and got some praise from my many bosses recently so that's a plus. The other interns are amazing! They're so fun! We went out a week or 2 ago but unfortunately it was Friday and I'm incapable of staying up late after working all day so I was a lamehead. Then I rode home with THE creepiest cabby on earth. Good experience. I'm really hoping we can all go out again soon but I gotta show these Texans how we party in da ville! Plus the bars here close at like 2. Psh.

In other news, the kiddos are doing great. TJ is his normal self, just a chill old guy. Mani is starting to be a bit of a snot. Maybe it's those terrible twos. I'm sure it has a lot to do though with me not being able to entertain her like I used to. We don't go to the park like we did in Lou because it is ALWAYS at least 90 degrees here, dawn and dusk. Not only have I not gotten to walk her much but I also haven't been running. Ugh. Anyway, she's been going to daycare which helps but on the weekends she's crazier than ever. I love her to death but by Sunday afternoon I'm ready to send her back to the dogs. Literally.

So in closing, (because I go to bed pretty much when the sun goes down) I just wanna say that things are going pretty well here. Not a fan of Texas though. Way too freaking hot and crowded and everything moves too slow for my liking. But you know, it's always a good experience. And even better, I met a nice guy out here who may be something special :) More about him later. Nighty night friends!

PS- CONGRATS TO JESSICA AND KEVIN ON THEIR ENGAGEMENT!

Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure 10K Race Recap

Wow, what a title right? Although I also could have titled it the greatest race of my life. Wanna know why? Yeah I thought you might. The week leading up to the race wasn't a great one. Stress at work, general grumpiness etc. etc. etc. So I really wasn't expecting much as far as performance but I wanted to get a 10K in really badly before the marathon relay this Saturday so I thought What the hell and signed up. The atmosphere at Komen events is like none other. Pink everywhere and people....so...many...people. For someone who hates crowds (i.e. ME) there are few things that will lure me to a crowded place. Races just tend to be one of those things. Anyway, there was a great survivors parade and all kinds of booths and music and general funness. What there wasn't plenty of was parking. Which I guess is the norm for an event of this caliber. Survivors' Parade Great Ladies I never got the chance to meet... Seriously packed at the start! Autumn Alexis, The Colonel and I g...

Rennay, Julie & Julia

Today I watched Julie & Julia (thanks Redbox !) and it was really good. If you haven't seen it, watch it. Anyhow, it really made me think about my life and blogging and cooking and all. So at this moment, I vow to be a better blogger...although as of right now I'm the only one affected by this decision.  Not that I think I'm terribly interesting, a very good writer or someone with things worth saying, however, I do think I have things that I want to say and if someone finds those things interesting...well that's just great. I recall asking my mom and other people pretty regularly, "What's wrong with me?" and/or "Why am I such a weirdo?" Lately it has been occurring to me that maybe I'm not a weirdo and that I'm just different. I'm a vegetarian, I love to read, I'm a foster parent to unwanted animals and I volunteer with middle schoolers for at least 4 months out of the year coaching speech and drama. I've graduated colleg...

My Life is Awesome

Do you ever just wake up, take a big breath of fresh air and feel totally grateful to be alive? Ok, so I don't. But I also don't wake up wishing I hadn't anymore and that is certainly something to be grateful for. You see, I went through a very long, very dark phase in my life where every day was not a blessing, I couldn't enjoy a pretty day and I begged the earth to swallow me whole. I had things on the horizon and did a pretty damn good job of faking every normal human emotion so no one knew what was going on. The only one I didn't have fooled was myself and unfortunately at that time, mine was the only voice I heard and the only opinion that mattered. Without going into detail I'll just say that there was a point when I hit rock bottom. And as I sat there and finally felt solid ground under me I realized that I was no longer falling. What was more important was I realized the true benefit of rock bottom, the ability to put your feet on the ground. When I ...
