Hello... is this thing on?
Yea, it's on, I just haven't been. 2008 lead off with a few life changes, realizations and transitions. I have had few opportunities to visit my old Vox stomping ground. I've been giving thought to going back to a personal blog, which will allow me the freedom to be more candid with my written expression - undecided. Life has been good, I continue to be blessed, with no room for real complaints.
Life Snippets:
- Work has me traveling more than I care to. Returned from a business meeting in Glendale, CA (nice) on Thursday, two weeks prior, a go live in Angleton, TX (boring) before that another business meeting in Las Vegas (nice - but no time to explore). Really not feeling any travel for "work" purposes. The President of my company issued a memo last week, stating that the company has initiated a plan to reduce cost as travel expenses were exorbitantly high last year. So, most travel to customer sites will be eliminated unless approved. Fine with me!
- New house - love it! It is actually a townhome. It has everything I could want in a place. When I walked in I just new I had to live there. Hardwood, berber, granite counter tops, stainless steel appliances, custom paint, travertine fireplace - the place is beautiful. I usually walk in a place and can find things I want to change about it - this place, nothing. It was the perfect excuse to buy a new bed and nightstands.
- T is doing well, working hard, still in school. Although we still have our typical mother/daughter "I tell her something, she doesn't listen to me" issues. Due to numerous costly repairs of her car, I decided to break down and purchase her a new vehicle. I had plans to get me a new car this year - kinda squashed now. I told her, please give me a reason to take it from you! It is adorable :) And I really look good in it.
- My boss finally approved all my 08 vacation requests. So, now I can complete my vacation planning in time to pay reasonable prices. Today, my March birthday excursion was booked. I so looking forward to getting out of town for pleasure. I plan to eat, eat, drink and shop. Did I say eat? I have about 2 weeks in July, so I've been tossing around destinations. I really want to go back to Europe and country hop, but then I don't because 2-3 days in a country doesn't seem long enough to really appreciated it vs.. two weeks in one location. I will decide in the next week or so. Anybody been anywhere nice lately? Taking recommendations. Don't offer Rome, Barcelona or Punta Cana since I have visited those cities within the last 24 months. I have some other dates, in May and September where I will do mini vacations, but will have time to schedule those later as they will more than likely be in the US or Mexico.
- Trying to read a new book - "Eat, Pray and Love" but I keep falling asleep after reading three or four lines.
