Greaaaat

My boss resigned this morning.

I have two weeks left at my internship.

Morale killer!

Oops!

It's been nearly a month!  Yikes!

Well, I updated all the links to my online articles... so you can check those out if you'd like!

Also, here is a link to one of my articles that was published through Phoenix Woman Magazine (online).  You'll notice it's not my name on the by line... yeah... But it is my article.

I had dinner tonight with Kieren and Kelly (it's Kieren's 22nd tomorrow!) to celebrate Kieren's birthday, and new job, and hear about how ADPi's recruitment went.  It was AWESOME!  We got to catch up and laugh - not much more I could ask for.

I've been proactively updating my LinkedIn... but it's still not what it should be - anyone have any suggestions on it?

Toni got moved into the dorms at SUNY on Tuesday, her room looks adorable!

And here's a little bit of Pittsfield...

:)

Home and Happiness

I finished reading Firefly Lane, it was such a good book.  Probably one of the best I've read in a long time - if you're looking for a story about an amazing friendship that goes through the trials of life.  I whole-heartedly recommend it!

Also, I've found the perfect tea blend:
3 bags of green tea
1 mint (Tazo's refresh)
1 of the Tazo orange/wildflower tea

All in a 9 cup pitcher.  YUM!  And if you want it a little sweet, add some agave nectar!

Family dinner was an event as always... you'd think we were 100% italian with how loud it gets.  Yikes!  Gotta love family. :)

Just some random notes...

I finished this painting.  Yay!

Mom told me the story about Quentin the quail this week, how did I not know this one yet?

I'm entirely excited for Dad going to Costa Rica, and jealous.  I should go along and be his translator, don't you think?

Work is continuing along well!

I'm excited for Thursday family dinner, yay birthdays!

I'm hoping that by this weekend this cold/flu thing is gone... because the surprise party and moving the rest of all of my things from Tucson to Phoenix is going to take some energy!!

Blog turned weekly?

So, I got to post my first online editorial for work today.  I've already got the link in my "portfolio", and I'm really excited about it!  One month until the magazine launches, and my writing is in print and read by thousands.  How cool is that?

I'm struggling through learning how to use twitter - a necessary evil for work.

I got to see some awesome movies this week with the family - thanks Dave and Jillian for taking me to see The Sorcerer's Apprentice sneeky thing!  It was awesome!

I'm sure I've got some more to write since it's been a week, but for now this shall suffice!

Lunch update!!

I thought I'd update really quick while I'm at lunch.

Work has been great this week!
I sat in on my first company meeting (which was held in the production studio... awesome? yes.) and was laughing through most of it.

I've gotten 3 different products to try at home (not including the treatment I got on week one!)

Today I've been in charge of tweeting, and this afternoon I'll be holding down the fort at the spa - hopefully I don't ruin anything!

My first online article is set to post next Friday, and I'm excited for my editorials to appear in our August issue!

And... I got one week off for Pittsfield!!  YAY!

I'm heading down to Tucson tonight to try and pack some more stuff up, and maybe figure out 4th of July plans.

Back to work...Happy Friday!!

Failure turned success!

Yesterday at work I had two goals:
1. Successfully complete my very first interview
2. Talk to my boss about Pittsfield

The Dr. I was planning on interviewing got bogged down and we had to re-schedule.  And #2 simply didn't happen. The day was a bit of a failure in that sense.

On to today!

I successfully interviewed Dr. Beer, yay!!  Here's a video of him on Martha Stewart, he's such a nice guy!

I'm posting this from my email... I just want to see if it works!

Such a lucky girl!

Oh goodness, what a weekend!


I visited the girls in Tucson (for less than 20 hours) last night, it'd been two weeks since I'd seen them! Let me tell you, the four of them (plus Jess) are amazing, and I love them more than anything in the world! They are true friends to the core, and I missed them the second I closed the door behind me.

I got to top the weekend off with family dinner at Grandma and Papa's, celebrating birthdays and a late Father's Day. It was too much fun as always! We are so lucky to have the family we do, not enough people are willing to call the members of their family their best friends.

Here comes another week!

Psuedo Post

I have tons to say, but instead, I'm just going to post the beginning of a new painting.
