Vacay!

Just a few pics from my Minnesota vacation. My Aunt, Uncle, and cousins live there now. My Mom and Dad also came. We went to a Twins game, the horse races, a museum with Star Wars memorabilia....who would have guessed there was so much to do in the Twin Cities!

Ch, ch, ch, changes!

I just got a new neighbor upstairs. Her name is Joy. I'm excited! I'm glad we have a new tenant in our building. The people in my condo are friendly and are a little bit like my extended family. When I come home, they are there to ask about my day and talk over beers with. (Picture of me and my roomie).

I also am going out on a date tonight with a guy I've been on and off with since about April. I'm pretty excited. He is soo interesting. He races cars, goes on safaris, is great at cooking, and loves gambling. We have so many similar passions except he has actually had the means to do most of the fun stuff I still have on my "to do" list. We'll see...

Last thing... the job has been going well. I'm starting to make some dough and paying down the credit card debt. Yeah! I think I'm even poised for a promotion soon. The outlook looks good, again, we'll see.

Carpe diem and all that good stuff.

Friendship

Friendship is learning to forgive when you make mistakes. If people don't know that, they weren't real friends to begin with. Life is too short to hold on to hatred.

Live, love, and learn.

The New Buzz Word (and it's not good)

Recession-a recession is a decline in a country's real gross domestic product (GDP), or negative real economic growth, for two or more successive quarters of a year.

It's here folks, whether you believe it or not, just look at the gas prices!

Too many Chiefs and not enough Indians

I work at this company and now have 4 bosses I think?! I love the company, but it's very frustrating. Especially when I know more than 3 of them. Is it because I'm a woman....hmmm. I need to refer back to my book, "Don't Sweat the Small Stuff at Work."

Cute Italian

So I met this guy from work who was visiting from our Geneva office this week. His name is Massimiliano. We had a few drinks, he bought me a shirt, we celebrated St. Patrick's Day....why can't all guys be Italian!

Tornado in Atlanta

This pretty much sums up life these days! Tornado hit Atlanta, and of course I was a few blocks from it! All weekend I was under a Tornado Warning. What can I say, life isn't dull!

Here are a few pics of the Tornado and the Damage....and a few of me just for fun. (Yep, I was sipping on cocktails during the storm!)
