Day 6

Well it has been one hell of a week.  I'm not sure how long I can keep up this pace at work and home, but I'm going to try and hang in there.  I'm hoping work starts to become more manageable.  I'm looking forward to beginning to work on getting my quality certification...CPHQ.  However, I have no idea how I'm going to work it in to the busy pace of my life at the moment.  I quess we'll see.  My new boss has now asked me to move into my old boss's office, so I guess we'll see where this goes.  I anticipate lots of changes in the future.  I usually embrace change.  I'm just a bit nervous about the unknown at this point.  More to come...

I'm so uneasy about my lack of control with the situation that I went and changed my hair...probably in order to actually be able to control something.  Ha!  I'm sure a psychiatrist would have a field day with me!  I'd been bored with my style for awhile now.  This situation just finally gave me the kick that I needed to actually do something about it. I now have a darker red color, more layers and....BANGS!  It's been about 15 years, since I've had them.  I must say that it turned out quite well.  It's definitely different.  Just what I needed.

Friday night Chad and I headed up to the chili cook-off in downtown Bellevegas!  It was a perfect evening for some chili and a few brews.  The Wine Tap was serving good beer outside, so I didn't even have to struggle to get down that horrible Bud Light stuff they call beer!  Cheers to The Wine Tap!!  Chad and I managed to sample about 75% or so of all the chili stands.  We finally decided that The Firemen stand was our favorite.  It even had a bit of kick!  the runner up was the chili from the Bar Association...smokey with some coffee and a small kick.  Last year I was disappointed because it was the same ole stands as the years before, but this year there seemed to be several more stands.  Refreshing!

This morning I woke up waaaaaaaaay to early for a Saturday morning to take Chad, his advisor and another "science student" to the airport.  Chad will be in Tucson for the week hanging out with all the other science-weather nerds.  (Love ya, babe!)  It was so early this morning that I actually got to the gym BEFORE it opened!  It was my first gym trip in a couple of months since I majorly injured my back.  I wasn't sure to what to expect, but it went well...30 min of cardio on the elliptical & 20 min of weights.  I worked around the house the remainder of the day...and now I'm not so sure what to do with myself.  I'd like to go out and be social, but not quite sure what to do or who to do it with.  Ha!  So it may just be a "stay-in wine and movie" night.

Tomorrow I'm headed to the Best of Missouri Market at the Botanical Gardens with Mom and John.  I haven't hung with the fam in a bit.  It should be a good time!  There is always lots o' food & wine to sample.  What could be bad about that?!?!?!


Hope everyone has a great weekend!
