This Summer...









Well it has been quite a summer if I do say so myself.  It started with the culmination of an insanely hard time in my work life.  After many months of battling with myself, I finally quit my job and got a new one.  I am so relieved, but at the same time it has also taken it's toll leaving me exhausted.  It's easy to forget how tiring it is to be in a new place with new people, and a new routine.  However, things seem to be falling into place, my new job is great, my co-workers are equally fab, and I am finally feeling back to normal again.

In the midst of my career switcheroo, we managed to fit in a lake vacation with my fam.  It was really great to get away from the city, soak up the sun, some laughs, and eat plenty of ice cream (my absolute must have every evening on vaca.)  It was really splendid.  PS the top pic is the view from my new desk...not too shabby huh?!

Weekend Wonders (Super Bowl Edition)






We trekked upstate this weekend for Super Bowl festivities since we don't have cable, and it's more fun with crazy foot ball fans anyway.  My Dad made enough paella to actually feed both  the Giants and the Patriots, and I contributed by concocting some over the top jalapeño poppers.   Boy were they spicy!!  Fun was had by all especially since a) the Giants won and b) Mike and I managed to win our pool (and we never win anything!)

Week of Wonders (Holiday Edition)







Here is the recap in photos of my holiday week.  It was a time for family, snuggling, warm fires, and lots of cookies.  It was really nice, and is definitely going to be hard to go back to work tomorrow.  We rang in the New Year at home with take out chinese, cucumbertinis, and a family guy marathon.  It was the perfect end to the craziness of 2011.  I will fill you in on some of my resolutions this week.  I hope all of you had a relaxing and happy holiday season.
