Random Stuff - I'm feeling random...

So I got on Facebook because my new client/manager person is on there. WOW, thats sort of strange, huh? I am connecting with work people through it though, not old friends... Well, I do have two cousins on there, but thats OK.

I found a Coach purse I want because I have nothing better to do than want things that are outrageously expensive and not any more useful than something 1/10 of the cost. Oh, well, you cannot blame me for this, I am just a girl. (Signature Zoe bag in Black...)

Jenni and I are looking at a potential wedding venue next week. I have only been thinking about checking this place out since July... nothing major causing the delay, just a lot of procrastination and Makati stole Jenni away from me!

I am starting to actually perform my new job and its exciting and stimulating and now its just time to figure out how to work my butt off to be successful at it so that I can pay for this wedding and maybe a Coach bag and maybe a honeymoon!

SCHOOL UPDATE!!

Oh yes, school update time! Job has kept me occupied, so this is a lot of information!

I received an A- in Marathon Math class, so very pleased with myself, I did it without crying or screaming or tequila.

I received word through my email that I was accepted to UWB and that their records showed I had not paid my $100 enrollment fee. Congratulations, you owe us money! So I had to get into orientation, prove that I am not a dirty carrier of Measles (Thank you Minneapolis Public Schools for having those records, lifesavers, thats what you are!) and I am not registered for classes!

I am so very excited and relieved and anxious at the same time. I need to figure out how to keep on taking care of everything around the homestead, the Michael, the Louie (the Senna is my PIC - Partner in Crime - so she will probably just take care of me!) I have already sought advice on the preparing of meals on Sundays and not cooking during the week too much because I am just not sure how much time and dedication I will need for these two classes. If I need the same dedication as Marathon Math class, then I might just prepare a month of dinners on one Sunday! Jeebus, Bobby and Cindy, I hope its not like that class!

I am really excited about the challenge and I am up to it now. I am ready to finished my BA, get on with my life and really launch a great career. Plus, this school is so small, so appropriate for me and my style and I think I am in the right place to pursue this.

Next up, BBQ on Labor Day, Cle Elum Ridge 50K for Mikey in two weeks and yay, Chandler and Allen are running there too. Lots of fun. Chris's mom will be in town next week... I love other people's moms. Then on September 24th, SCHOOL! I havent gotten my Huskies sweatshirt or flag for my desk (must rival Greg) but I am getting there... I have to pace myself! Michael's brother also wants to go to Apple Cup, I might not be ready for that much Husky Pride... Erin might be the person for that job!

Got the New Job!

So it was my goal to find a job that didnt could get me moving on the cold and rainy days, that could entice me out of puppy snuggling mornings and get me to work. At first, it was like, well if I am going to go to school and take on this new challenge, I probably should keep everything the same until I figure out how that is all working. Then I got excited about a new opportunity at my current employer, working with the same client company, but everything else would be different. Now thats a change I could comfortably make with the school changes and other life changes I am trying to make. I took the leap without much thought or anxiety. I know that I am leaving my old position in capable hands, I will still take my other expertise with me and be able to use it, but I will also get to learn and grow. Stimulating and still flexible! Just like I wanted!

Still no word on school, but I did finish that marathon math class I took this summer, waiting on the grade... fingers crossed!
