Back on the Band Wagon!

Well, ladies and gentleman (or two of you who might read this)...I'm back!

I apologize for the enormous delay in riveting news of my life. I've been a little preoccupied. And as I told my brother when he asked when I was going to write another blog entry, I said it would for sure happen when I moved to Colorado. I was sure I'd have more time then, but alas, I'm getting a head start. I'm aiming high, people.

So it's been a very busy several months...I've made the decision to move to the Denver/ Boulder area (depending on where I can get a job) and I'm really excited about it! It's somewhat of a bittersweet adventure because there are several things (mostly people) who I love dearly here in Dallas, but we all knew I wouldn't last here forever! I've been steadily working on trying to get a job, which if you've ever done it, you know that getting a job is a job in itself! But, things are going very well. I feel like I have put my best foot forward, made good connections, etc. The positive energy is flowing.

I had a wild weekend this weekend! My weekends lately have been fairly calm, which I enjoy...it's usually a little yoga, hanging out with friends, relaxing, having dinner and drinks in a low key setting. But this weekend was one thing after the other and for the most part, it was lovely!

Friday, we had Field Day at school. This is such a fun day! The weather was perfect, the kids loved it, and the teachers were flippin' exhausted by the end of it! So, when I got home, I crashed on my bed with all of the lights on and windows open. When I woke up, it was still early evening and since I knew I had a busy weekend, I decided to scrub the house. I love cleaning my house...I love sitting there when I'm all done and reminding myself how blessed I am. I know there are a few people who share the same nerdy pleasure, but for those of you that understand, props to ya! While cleaning, I decided to have a glass of wine. By the time I was done, I realized that I was a little drunk. It's true...I drunk cleaned my house. I have moved on from drunk dialing to drunk cleaning...much more productive, don't cha think?! And the best part was, when I woke up on Saturday morning, I was a little peeved that my house was a freakin' mess until I remembered! I cleaned it last night!! See, drinking can have it's benefits!

Saturday, I got a mani/pedi with my good friend Alli. Then, I had a wedding shower to go to and later that night, a wedding to attend. I was a little nervous about going to this wedding. It was the first wedding I've gone to alone. I didn't really know very many people going, but am very good friends with the bride's sister and her family, so I wanted to go celebrate with them. Turned out, it was a flippin' blast! The bride looked beautiful, the ceremony (set in a Greek Orthodox church) was really pretty, saw a few friends from college who I haven't seen in years, and (wait for it, wait for it)...I met a cute boy! It is true!

You know how I don't seem to ever meet anyone cool who actually lives in the vicinity? Well, this guy doesn't either! In fact, he lives the farthest away of anyone I've actually given my number to. Try Saudi Arabia! He's a chemical engineer and is working there, although rumor is, he's moving back to the states, but I have no idea when. He was born in Lebanon and speaks fluent French (I didn't tell him that that in itself was a definite way to win me over) and is handsome and funny! And (bonus) he's a good dancer! We had a blast! When the party finally broke up (at 4:00 in the morning...those Lebs know how to party), he asked for my number and wanted to know if he could come down this weekend to hang out (he's staying in Oklahoma for a few weeks before going back overseas). CRAZY, but very fun! So, we'll see. I think we will call him Saudi Arabia until it's official that I can use his real name.

I got a massage yesterday after quite a long day with my mother, which officially made me content in my decision to relocate. It's a long story that I don't care to get into right now...I want to continue to bask in the happiness of my weekend!

I'm off to yoga!
