yes, it has been a while since i've written. i've been consumed with barbie demands. all i can say is that she is one high maintenance b. the past three weeks have been 50 - 70 hour work weeks. there were lots of last minutes "improvements" to the system and it is finally in place. i had to spend an extra day up in el segundo since they weren't as prepared as they should have been for my arrival. and the dude i was working with napped and read a book while i was working ( he was supposed to be taking notes!). it was an......experience. now i know what it's like to deal with a full engagement with a very high maintenance client. it takes quite a bit of patience and some long hours to get it done some times. but it was worth it and i loved doing it. it was great to be the person in charge and i've learned a TON. i really do enjoy my job even with the ups and downs and pains in the arse that just are inevitable in an industry like this. AND to make things more rewarding, barbie gave me parting gifts :0)
in other news, i redecorated my entire bedroom and i am LOVING it!! i'd had the same furniture since high school (not kidding) and it was time for a major change. i now have dark wood furniture of two three shelf book shelves, two side tables, and one armior. they are simple yet very elegant. i now have plenty of space for all my books and even some room to display my knick knacks! now all that's left to be done is for kate and i to put together my new duvet covers :0) guess i just got into a home improvement kick cause i even updated the laundry room - yes, i lead an exciting life :P
wish i could tell ya more but most of the other time has been spent training (not enough time though) and hanging with friends (more than usual which has been great). i have gotten in some looooong runs with jess and donovan which has been therapeutic and necessary. each week gets a little longer and always difficult with some hills. i did get to see katie shoe and jeff while i was in el segundo. i do miss seeing them and karen. got to see karen a tiny bit this weekend and was hoping she was going to drop by but it didn't end up working out that way unfortunatley.
guess i've just been feelin in a funk lately. feel just blah. don't know if that's cause i've spent way too much time working and not enough time for just me or if i just need to get out of town one weekend. i do feel like i haven't been working out enough and i've been neglecting tnt but i don't think that's it. just feeling kind of off. it's like i don't want to hang out with people but i dont' want to be alone and if i do hang out with people, i only want to hang out with one or two not a group. bizarre i know but it's just a weird funk i'm in!! i'll scrape myself together soon enough and be back to as normal as i get in no time :0)
more later since barbie is gone for a while.........
