I've almost survived my first week of work! I'm EXHAUSTED and my feet are killing me. Unfortunately, I've had to wear heels everyday and it's the worst part of my life right now! I may have to conform to buying a pair of those ballet style flats that everyone's wearing! I'm not a fan, but they do look comfy. I swear, I'm having flashbacks of my teens with the latest fashion trends, ESPECIALLY the leggings!!!!! (AHHHHHH!) Is it necessary to re-live those days? Really, what's a girl to do!?!

Friends in Many Places!
We had our friend Chris visit Boston this week on business, so Rowdy managed to slip in a couple nights with him. Of course it had to be the week I started work, but I still managed to meet them out after I got off tonight at Harvest, in Harvard Square. He's leaving tomorrow to go back to his lovely family in Illinois! It's so great to see our friends when we can!
Here's the agenda of visitors that we have coming in the next couple of months....
Debbie( Texas) - This weekend
Jake and Jamie(Florida) - End of April
Mike L(Colorado) - First week of May
Mom and Brother(Missouri) - Mid May to June
It's gonna be BUSY BUSY but I can't wait!

Ski Trip
Our first run down the slopes together(beginners, of course)!
After surviving my first run! I came down the middle one! YIKES!
Rowdy and his office got a choice to either work or take a day ski trip to Sunapee Ski Resort in New Hampshire. I guess you can figure out what he chose!! It was the first time I've ever been skiing(Rowdy had been only once, years ago) and We LOVED IT! ( I'm really trying not to remind myself that we lived near the Rockies for over 4 years and NEVER went skiing once!) Anyway, I'm proud to say that my very first trip down the slopes was the blue level(Not for beginners, that's for sure!!!!!) It was an accident, but I made it down with only a few spills. Sam, a guy Rowdy works with, was kind enough to guide me through the nightmare trail. By the end of the day, Rowdy and I were skiing like pros, but on the green level(for beginners) of course, and I actually made it down once without falling!!!! YAAAAY! That was my goal for the day and I didn't even have to take lessons or use the kiddy trail!!! We had a WONDERFUL time and I just love Rowdy's co-workers. They're all so fun!
So, yes, we are officially taking up skiing! We bought everything we need and can't wait till next ski season! Colorado here we come!
And by the way, this doesn't mean that I now love the cold and snow, it just means, I love skiing and that's the ONLY time I want to put up with it!

YEAH! RIGHT ON!
St. Pat's Night
Leaving for Porter
Mexican St. Patty's
Freezing, while waiting in line at Clery's
Ann, Ann's friend from OH(can't remember her name right now), and Ellen
Me, Gaia, Dominique, and Yolanda
Went to dinner at Sonsie's on Newbury www.sonsieboston.com, with some girls for Dominique's Birthday! I ordered Mee Krob and let me tell you, it was DELICIOUS! I can't wait to go back for more! Dinner was a blast!
Anyway, after dinner, we decided to go to a club called Clery's. We were waiting in line........WHILE.......On the other side of town, at Faneuil Hall, Rowdy, Chris, Caroline, and Stephanie were trying to meet other co-workers at the Purple Shamrock. Turns out, it was IMPOSSIBLE to get in to any of their Irish bars ,so they left to meet us at Clery's.
We waited, for what seems like an eternity and still no Rowdy and crew. It was suppose to be only 4 people, so the bouncer was gonna, maybe, let them cut in line with us, but when they showed up with a total of 8, he said NO WAY! I decided to leave the girls behind to go next door with them to a Mexican Restaurant/Bar that wasn't busy at all. We stayed for awhile, then took a cab to Porter Square to have a drink at Christopher's, then went home. Caroline, Steph and I stayed up talking, Steph went home and Chris and Caroline stayed the night. All day Sat, we ate junk food in our Pj's, watched basketball and talked, and then they went home.
Interview
Didn't hear anything on Thurs.......
Then on Friday, I was getting ready to leave my house, when the phone rang. It was the girl I had the first interview with. I wanted to hang up, but I didn't and to my DISBELIEF, she offered me the position! Turns out the guy really liked me! I was SHOCKED!!!! To make a long story short, she offered me a salary I was very pleased with, so I accepted the offer. YES, I'm going back to work and I'm excited!!!!
More details about the job later.....
COOOOKIES!

Monday!
Thanks Melissa for sending me this book. Can't wait to start it.
My second interview got pushed back until next week because the person I'm interviewing with has to leave town last minute. It's good because I really need to get a hair cut. Hopefully I can get an appointment before!
I need to get my taxes done! SO I'm leaving myself this friendly blogger reminder:
Sally and Rowdy, please get your taxes done so the IRS doesn't hunt you down and leave you for dead! Thank you!!!!
Well, that should do it.....
Current Music Mood: Lenny Kravitz BABY!!!

Oscar Upset! OH MY!
Party Time!
Emily, Caroline and little ole' ME!
Rowdy singing ....
and singing!(Don't give up your day job, babe!)
Spent the week looking for jobs and on Fri I had my first interview. It went very well and I have a second interview this Wed. I will definitely take this job if offered, but I won't hold my breath!
Sat we filled our bar and fridges with a TON of goodies and decided to have our first get together! It was great fun with a mix of new friends( some air force, some not). We partied till after 3am. Liam brought Karioke, and I feel sorry for the neighbors that had to listen to it! After the party Rowdy and I stayed up cleaning so we wouldn't have to do it in the morning and thank goodness we did!!!! By the way, those Chaser Hangover Pills DO NOT WORK!!!
It's Oscar TIME!!!!!
