she’s standin tall, she’s got it all…
today i realised i have not updated this site in longer than i care to look back at. the problem for me is that i’ve had a lack of content that was not the same old song and dance. but now, my life is spicing up a bit.
last week, as my flickr pictures revealed, i went to las vegas for the 2007 hdi annual conference and expo. i really was not over impressed with vegas. it certainly does have it’s extravagance that you see in pictures and movies though. from the hotel that looks like the new york skyline to the hotel that looks like your walking through a mythological greece.
on top of my travels, last week i found myself very sick. sunday night whenever i flew out i told my co-worker who went to the conference with me that i really did not want to go, for fear that i would get worse and have to travel back sicker than i already was. now, over a week later i am not so sick but i still feel kind of crummy.
lately i have found that anytime i sit still, my mind starts racing. and it’s not that my thoughts are directed in a negative direction, nor a positive one. it’s that i find my thoughts looking far into the future and reflecting far into my past. i have found myself playing more and more computer games as a way to keep my mind entertained with stimuli.
mandy put in her two week notice at her current job today. a few weeks ago she was contacted by another company and after going back and forth with the idea of leaving she finally found the decision to move in her ideas for what she wants in the future. the new job really is a great opportunity for her and her career and i am really excited i get a front row seat for it all. i love mandy so much and recently her and i have been talking more and more about our future together. i really can see myself happy spending the rest of our lives together.
anyways, it’s way past my bedtime. this morning i was an hour and a half late to work. i really need to start working on that. i am starting to set small goals and foundations for myself to help move past the rut i’ve seen starting to form recently. i am ready for my career to advance a little further and i’m ready to start living the rest of my life i put down a few years ago when i was lost after my father passed away.
my sister should have her kiddo in the next few weeks. i cannot believe i’m going to have another nephew. i’m getting old.
