so i'm on day 3 at the new job and trying not to be completely overwhelmed! the folks are very nice though and i have a nice office that i share with another sr. project manager and i can look out the windows out onto the pearl and the west hills. the office is very cool and well designed. the picture at left is in our main atrium as you get off the elevator ... cool, huh? i have been assigned an account and already have to travel to san francisco on tuesday for a meeting. suffice it to say, it's been a whirlwind.
my new office is only a few blocks from my old one and a 4 blocks from where mac works. so we've been carpooling and it's been very nice. on my first day, the folks took me out to lunch at mio sushi and as i got back there was a beautiful flower arrangement waiting for me from mac. it was so thoughtful and sweet. i am very blessed to have such a wonderful woman in my life.
last night, i met up with mac after work for a nice quiet dinner of tapas at colosso and then was off to meet up with my some former co-workers/buddies at the mash tun. it was good to see lara and todd and, of course, my lil bro, ryan. what's a trip to the tun without ryan? ;-) it was great to see them and catch up.
stopped for a coffee at the new café in my building this am. was nice to write in my journal and have a bit of time to myself before heading into the office. am reading eat.pray.love by elizabeth gilbert and am so sucked in. the book is great and so timely given the year i've had. i highly recommend it to everyone!
so today i'm thankful for ... new beginnings, old friends, and appreciating every day

Congrats on your new office digs. The learning curve is never easy, but I'm sure you will do awesomely! Have a safe trip to CA.
So, this "Eat,Pray,Love" seems to come up a TON in my circle of friends, I will have to pick it up to see what the hub bub is all about. A few friends love it and a few friends aren't impressed, so I think it speaks to individuals in the time and space in which the book addresses. Such as the pivotal moments or "defining" moments in our life's journey.
I would love to hear your perspective on it when you are all fini!
Hi Jenn,
Well I just had to tell you that my friends and I went to Kingfish in Seattle on Saturday which was awesome!! I had 2 great dirty martinis, the fabulous crawfish and corn chowder and red beans and rice. YUM!! Thanks so much for the suggestion and it was great to finally meet you.
