2009

01Jan09

It’s officially the start of a new year. I can’t believe it! Last night was pretty uneventful. I am totally over the whole New Year’s Eve partying and open bar craziness. I did that one year, and it was “fun”, but I had to go to bed by 2am because I had a few too many drinks. When I’m paying $100 for an open bar, I feel a lot of pressure to drink enough to make it worthwhile.

My girls were reunited finally. One of my closest friends moved to Hawaii last April and she came back to the East Coast for Christmas. We had dinner and then attempted to make boxed chocolate raspberry cake. It did NOT work so good thing we bought a backup Betty Crocker triple chocolate fudge cake. I made it and it was a success. Yum. We ended up agreeing to watch Nancy Drew. I still can’t get over how dorky/geeky they made Nancy to be. I remember when I read all her books and I always thought she was the popular girl. Not a girl stuck in the 50s. Oh well. It was still pretty enjoyable.

I’m not looking forward to all the people who decide to join the gym to work on their New Year’s “resolutions”. We all know they won’t keep it after a couple of weeks. Why overcrowd our gym even more? Ugh. For my few readers, you’ll see that I added my Nike+ chart on the bottom right of my website. I ran my longest and farthest run just 2 days ago. Lance Armstrong congratulated me. Who knew how little it takes to motivate me?

Life update

I start my new position in the company on 12/29/08. I move to my new desk at 1pm on Friday (12/19/08). I am very excited and nervous about this new position. I am worried that I’ll be a big disappointment and all the people will think that I’m a fluke. I will work as hard as I can to prove them that it was worth the risk hiring me for a position where I don’t have any of the technical skills/background.

I just had a great weekend with the boyfriend. I got to meet the “parents”. It wasn’t even half as bad as I expected. They were quite polite and we had a good meal together. I would even call them cute. ) Oh, now I have a pink nano thanks to my thoughtful boyfriend (Jeff). He also got me the Nike+ attachment for the iPod. I did my first run on Tuesday. I guess this will motivate me to run more since I can’t afford a personal trainer anymore. Okay, I need to get to bed. I woke up at 5:30am to go to the gym!

I love Fridays

It’s 3pm on a Friday. I want to go home! I wanted to tell my few readers that I’ll be transitioning into a new job within my company come January 1st, 2008. I am very excited. I hope we find a good replacement for my current position. I’ll be in charge of most of the training. shock

I’m looking forward to this weekend. I’ll be attending my parents’ anniversary dinner. They always invite the kids when they should be alone celebrating their marriage. I’m also going to Essex for their famous brunch for my good friend Stephanie. Tonight, I’ll be going to Ippudo for overpriced, but delicious ramen. I hope to get some tasty cupcakes from Sugar Sweet Sunshine on Sunday with my food fiend BFF.
