Hello, Again!



It's been a while... sorry. I'm bad at staying in touch- apparently even with myself.

Well, not really, I take drugs for that.

Kidding.

There's been a lot going on, so I'll fill you in:

I started a new job. More money, more problems. Kidding, again. No problems yet, just waiting to get used to how things work around here. Just quite different from Stantec... I miss the people there. Hopefully, I'll start liking the ones here just as much. But for now, there's all the happy hours from everyone leaving Stantec. I get to see themm al pretty regularly.

I have skin cancer. And I'm having surgery next month to get rid of it, hopefully permanently. My mom's coming to visit from Boston for the first time. I can't wait to show her around. Maybe she'll see why I stay.

Poundage. Yuck. Constant battle with weight. Gotta lay off the chocolate and get my ass to the gym. Any suggestions, anyone? No, I guess there's no nice way to say, "Stop being so fucking lazy."

Besides that, things going great with Chris (The Le and the Le). We drove all the way through Shasta and Ashland up to Portland a couple of months ago. Loved Ashland, hated Portland. But then I started the new job and turns out we have an office in Portland, and people can't stop raving about the city. So now I feel like I have to give it another shot. I just have to wait for a good reason for them to send me up to Portland. Don't worry- I'll come up with one.

Also went to St. Louis, last month, to visit my cousin Asma and the new baby. Her hubby flew me in as his anniversary present to her. (Hah! I'm an anniversary present.) It was a really great time- not that there's necessarily a lot going on in St. Louis, but still.

So what else? Oh yes. I noticed a acquired about 500 hits on this blog during my absence. I hope you'll all stop by again. I'm back. I promise.
