playing catch up...

My personal opinions about life, love and the pursuit of happiness have always been relevant to my own life. If things are going badly, I start to feel hopeless. But, if things are going well, as they are right now, then it’s hard to feel sad or down about anything. Sure, bird flu is a scary prospect, and there is always the chance that Dick Cheney could shoot me in the face, but I can’t help but feeling okay with all that is wrong in the world when things seem to be going so right in my own personal sector.

This job has fixed me. I was wandering aimlessly, unhappy with my status, feeling lost and without purpose. This company is so perfect for me. It’s small, and there is room for me to make a difference in my day to day life and see results of my hard work. Everyone I work with is really interesting and I’m looking forward to getting to know them better. The space I have is really pleasant, my computer kicks ass, and I have plants now. It’s the office I always wanted and the job I never knew I could get. The only bad thing is the tension I feel when I imagine that it’s going too well. Is something bad waiting around the corner to squash me? Is a giant anvil going to drop out of the sky?

And in other news, we had a lovely St. Patrick’s Day. We spent the evening having dinner at Charleigh and Blaine’s house. We had Corned beef and Cabbage, Potatoes and Guinness. It was delicious! I had never had the corned beef thing before… ( I know, what kind of irish girl am I?) and it was so tasty! Then we went climbing yesterday and I did a 5.10-. This is only the second time I climbed something of that difficulty, and my arms were killing me, but it was so worth it. My goal by summer time is to be climbing 5.10’s regularly. I really want to start learning to lead climb. Eh, all in good time.

Also, I found a dress online to wear to Erin’s wedding in April. And now I’m trying to decide what shoes to get. I like these ones, and these, but I’m not sure. Anyway, I’m having a dinner party tonight for all the girls. They are helping me plan my 80’s Birthday Party. So, I really need to get started on whipping this house into shape.
