Back in the Saddle

Today marks my official return back to my Michigan life. I am back at work, my apartment is no longer a gigantic mess, and I remember how to cook! Ah, how I missed you chocolate chip cookies and pasta salad.

Good things so far today:

• The new office for the GAs (four of us share one room) includes my own desk (finally...again!!) and a view of the outside world. I really couldn't ask for anything more. 
• I got dressed this morning with no outfit changes! That never, ever happens. I just pulled things out of my closet and wore them! 
• I packed an awesome, awesome lunch full of all sorts of goodness. Two hard-boiled eggs, cucumber slices, grapes, baby carrots, GF multi-grain crackers, diet Pepsi and two Fig Newtons. I felt like taking the snack platter approach today

Dinner tonight at Tower Inn with the HESA board and then continuing my obsession with Grey's Anatomy reruns on Netflix!

Life is good.

These kind of things have been all over the internet but after my little excursion last summer, I wanted to see what my new map of the visit United States looked like. I just love that I have a lot on the east coast and west coast then a swath of states through the middle and now Florida. There are a few states that I have had layovers in or have driven through on the way to other states (Indiana) but since I didn't either step out of the airport or spend significant time there, I don't count it. I do hope to get to a few more states within the next year but as of right now, I just have plans for Kentucky and most likely Chicago again, soon.

Aries Horoscope for week of August 4, 2011

Symbolically speaking, there is a Holy Grail hidden close to you, and you know it, but you haven't been able to find it. The Grail is a golden chalice filled with medicine that could open what needs opening in you. Luckily, you will soon come into possession (symbolically speaking) of a big, thick magical wand that can give you a new advantage. Here's what I conclude: Use your wizard stick to locate the cup of wonder so you can take a big sip.



There are a lot of great things coming up in the next few months. I had so many amazing opportunities given to me this year and every day I am truly amazed at what my life has become. All that crappy boyfriends, unemployment, and completely rock-bottom broke situations are all worth it since those are what have guided me to where I am now. I can't wait to see what that "cup of wonder" is like!
