Happened By

Been a hell of a long time since I was here. I half expected that the blog would no longer exist out of pure non-usage, but not so.

So, what's happened in the past year? Still at my job, love it. We are about to move into new offices that the owners purchased - very exciting. 2 new employees which I'm working on meshing with. I'm such a loner that it's hard to take new people into my life. I guess I have a hard time bringing in people who are simply acquaintances - not closest of friends. My boss is one of the closest friends I'll ever know. I've learned from her, grown from her and maybe even taught her a thing or two :-)

Had my 20-year class reunion this summer - didn't attend. I almost did but for whatever reason decided against it. Regretted it afterwards. What a dork! I will go to the next one (I think). I guess I was just feeling fat and stupid, figured everyone else would have their lives together or whatever. I'm sure that's not the case and nobody cared (well, maybe a few people). Anyway, I would have loved to see everyone.

Not much to tell - even after a whole year. I adore my husband. We watch our friends struggle through the challenges of marriage, and I wonder why we are so damn happy. Not perfect, but happy. Taking a vacation here pretty soon. We need one. Me from work, him from work, us together.

Ice cream seeming pretty important right now because I'm on a diet and can't have it. Been on this diet for about a month. Getting tired of it. Diet and exercise to drop the pounds, then just exercise to maintain once I'm at a weight I'm happy with. This is the hard part because I'm looking less like a lardass, so tempted to indulge a bit, but so far successful at not. Fat-free pudding and a couple of glasses of wine are my big splurge. Oh joy.
