Hi all. Everything is great with me so far in 2008. Work is busy, but life outside work is fantastic. Wedding planning progresses, loving the living in sin, I'm appreciating the increased daylight, and looking forward to our trip to NYC next weekend for a college friend's wedding. I just don't post here much anymore. I've gotten pretty into ( Read more... )

I really need this psychological boost right now.  Work is pretty intense.  Six to seven days a week for the last few weeks and to continue for ( Read more... )
