I just hit the three year mark at my job. I never thought I'd make it through three years there, but by some magic, I did. On my 3 year anniversary at the agency, I got the call that I got the transfer (within the department ) that I had applied for, which makes my job a hundred times better. One of the perks to hitting the 3 year mark is that I now get more vacation time. Seven more days, to be exact. I can't tell you how exciting that … [Read more...]
Still conflicted
It looks like you are just as conflicted as I am with my wedding dilemma. I'm still debating. This friend is a good friend, but not a great friend.

Since my half-marathon didn't happen, I wanted to get one in before the summer so that I don't end up with a mental … [Read more...]
The Best Laid Plans
I guess I should have been more clear that I was on vacation over these past few days! Whoops. I was just so excited that I forgot to remind everyone to not worry, that I was just out of town and not worrying about blogging. Sadly, the trip was a bit of a bust. This was the weekend I was scheduled to run the half-marathon I've been planning for for over a year. Because of all the snow, I've been slogging through many treadmill runs, … [Read more...]
