Happy Wednesday!

Hows your week goin? Wow.. yesterday it got up to the 70's... it does NOT feel like fall..(well.. the past 3 years it's been warm at this time of year.. so maybe yea) the trees are turning... the sky.. is BLUE.. no clouds today as I look out the basement window.. supposed to be nice today too..

First day of work was fine.. honestly the typical paperwork.. introductions.. since I"m going to be in the one location for only 2 weeks while I do training.. I'm kinda temporary.. the design department was busy with a deadline.. so It was a slow and slightly slow day for me.. which is ok.. one good thing..(a tempting but good thing) is that there is an Ikea RIGHT down the street from the office.. they have a big beautiful cafeteria... so i brought my book and got a $3.99 lunch and sat in the window.. BIG floor to ceiling window wall.. looking out onto this georgeous scenery...whew.. one thing I gotta get used to.. the drive. UGH. 40 minutes to get there.. (i am used to a 10 minute drive) and an hour to come home... double UGH... Today I'm going into DC for a meeting.. I'm going to take the metro.. and enjoy the walk... hopefully i'll get out early today which will be nice!

My AWESOME Uncle Ben left me a WONDERFUL message on my cell phone yesterday!! Gratzie Zio. He wanted to wish me luck.. that he and my Aunt Marge has faith in me.. aww.. it was JUST what i needed to hear...

Met Naomi at our new favorite local pizzeria for dinner last nite.. caught up.. I miss her.. I haven't really spent time with her in a long time... between new jobs for me.. her job.. going to Hawaii.. we are like strangers in the night.. hopefully we can catch up some more this weekend..

Speaking of this weekend (good segway eh?) I have another date with Alex on Saturday nite! I'm excited but trying to dial down my excitement.. (who am I kidding.. I"m psyched!) Just trying to maintain realistic expectations.. so I keep myself balanced..

And finally.. yesterday was Peter's day off... after work.. i called him.. he didn't want to do anything with me, i.e. get dinner/celebratory drink... he's pulling away.. which is fine.. this needs to happen.. it just is going to take some getting used to.. feels a bit raw to be honest with you.. It's good.. even though I am feeling emotional about this happening.. I KNOW with everything that i am that it has to happen... we need to move on.. sigh.. just sucks.

SO awesome.. Angela came home early last nite.. right before I shut the light out.. and so she came and sat on my bed (with her homemade cup of mulled wine) and we caught up... I love that!!! I really really am glad she's come into my life.. wow.. kindred spirit here.. there ARE no coincidences.. then I woke up this morning.. and VOILA! 2 cookies! yea!

ok all.. have a great day.. OH! Starting today.. I am changing format.. I'm going to write ya'll at nite.. starting tonite.. I am needing to compress my morning schedule.. so I need that extra time in the morning to get ready and get out... so just be aware.. I'm writing you tonite.!

have a splendiferous day!
onward and upward!
