Keeping them on probation

Well, folks, it's been 16 days since my last post, as Natasha so kindly pointed out. I guess it's not so fun to blog when things are kind of crappy. It hasn't been my best few weeks, but there have been good times through it all. In short, the verdict is still out on the new job. I don't want to say a whole lot more because:

1) I have probably complained to you personally about it already,
2) I want to try to keep a good attitude, and
3) I don't want to be one of those people who gets fired over what they post on their blog. Or maybe I do, because the one I am thinking of actually became a famous blogger as a result. Anyone read Dooce?

On a more fun note, my lovely friend and former roommate Lisa was in town for the weekend, and it was a weekend filled with, well, girls. In the best way. We went for breakfast at the Sugarbowl, talked for hours, saw the Sex and the City movie again, snuck ridiculous amounts of food into the movie with us (including Megan's Heineken complete with a swirly straw), learned the meaning of some raunchy urban expressions from Lisa, played rock band, and drank tea with Tim Tams.

I have also been talking lots with Marney over lunches at work about her upcoming wedding, which has been lots of fun. And I get to make buttons for it, which is so exciting! I will post some of them on here when they are finished.

I am about to go clean out the third bedroom in preparation for the lovely Jamie to move in this weekend! But before I do, I would like to leave you with this lovely image courtesy of Natasha:
