More than at any other time in my life, I’m living in the right now.
I am happy with things, maybe that’s why.
My new job is excruciatingly busy. I do a lot of work every day. I was just trying to explain to Jeff just how much work I do every day and I couldn’t even [...]

She’s here
My best friend had her very precious little girl this week.
Aubrie Kendall is her sweet little name. She was 7 lbs, 7 ounces and 20 inches long.
I went to meet her the day after she was born and oh my was she ever a little peanut. I mean, I know babies are little but I [...]

First date
I went on a (blind) first date last night.
And it was just like every first date I’ve ever been on. There’s little eye contact and much wine drinking. Small talk about work and the past and where you’ve been. But, unlike most blind first dates I’ve been on in my life, it ended really well. [...]

The new schtick
Just about everywhere we go someone asks how it’s going.
“How is the new job? Do you love it?”

Back to good
As I reflect on the past couple months of my life, it’s weird to think about how quickly things just go back to normal.

I hear her in my voice and see her when I look in the mirror.
She’s the first person who ever loved me, who ever yelled at me, who ever thought I was beautiful. She’s my biggest cheerleader, critic and one of my very best friends. She’s kind, sweet, sensitive and supportive.
August 17, 2009. It feels [...]

Day 1
It’s funny how just one day takes me right back to where I left off all those weeks ago the night before I lost my job – a place where life was safe and secure.
I met Jeff in the driveway after work this evening with my dog’s leash in hand. We futzed to throw dinner [...]

The night before
I’m not going to lie, I am a little nervous about going to work being away from the house for a whole 8 hours . I mean, I did get used to sitting on my ass all day.
Here are some of the things that are gonna be tough:
– Leaving my dog. I fell like he’s [...]

Official
So, I’ve finally started telling people, which I guess means I should just say it outloud – I start my new job on Monday!
Weeeeee! On Monday morning, I report to work. Meaning, I will get dressed, and put on make up, and pack a lunch and leave the house to do an actual job that [...]
