Today is the start of the first weekend after starting my new job. I haven't appreciated a Saturday this much in 7 months! Who knew I'd love sleeping in until 10 so much? I am proud to report that I have been productive enough to not feel worthless, but I have managed to recharge my batteries as well. Praise Saturdays! (and three day weekends) :)
That being said, I'd accept a volunteer to come and make dinner. Chicken noodle soup sounds so good - but I don't really want to make it. At least it is guaranteed to be better than Progresso (so nasty)!

Working Hard or Hardly Working? .. Working Hard!
Today completed day two of the new job, and its been great so far. It feels so weird to be working again. I definitely miss sleeping in until 9 everyday. I'm not going to lie, working in the Registrar's office isn't the most exciting or challenging job I've ever had, but I am loving it. If they haven't kicked me out yet, then my chances are looking good. :)
One of my favorite parts of the job is that it is so close to our house. I literally work two and a half blocks away. There is nothing like sunshine and a stroll in 10 degrees to wake you up on your lunch hour. I'm just hoping the snow will go away soon so I can start wearing some of my cute shoes again!
I've forgotten how little time you have when you work full time. For the past six months spending an hour or two on dinner and dessert was no big deal, now poor Dan is lucky if I make anything vs. throwing a frozen pizza in the oven. Thank God for Freschetta. So other than the fact that the house is getting exponentially messier, the dishes usually aren't done, and dinners have been downgraded - I'm loving it!

New Year, New Job, New Blaaaahg
I haven't posted in a few weeks because I've been in Utah visiting family and friends. The holidays were amazing! Filled with good food, friends, and family. The new year naturally causes a "renewal" process or resolutions for many people. My only "resolution" is to never make a resolution. They are usually overly publicized and insincere. As chance would have it this new year has already brought new opportunities, and forced me to take a small part in all of the new year hype.
The day after we got home form our 16 day vacation I received a phone call from the University for an interview. I interviewed the next morning and received the job offer a few hours later. The process happened so quickly that it doesn't seem real. I've been searching for a job for over six months - and in a matter of two days I went from unemployed to .. "I have a job on Monday"
So here is to a new year, job and a new design for the blaaaahg...
Cheers!
