Counting down

Well, things are moving along, life-wise. We are heading into the craziness of wedding season, with one down last weekend, and five more to go by mid-November:
Sherida - August 12
Bekah Newell - September 2
Mia - September 23
Christina - October 22
Another wedding that is yet to be publicly revealed - November 11 (most likely)
My employers are pretty tired of me requesting days off, but they are being very understanding, since they know that weddings are important and as a friend and sister, I NEED to be there for the lucky people.

In other news, Jeff and I are now virtual parents! No, really. We have had a young lady, in her late teenage years, move in with us. She is a relatively recent Christian, needed a place to live, and wanted to be with Christian folks that could mentor her in her faith and in life skills. Jeff and I had an open room or two, so we were happy to take in a token waif. Pray for Kendra!

Work is getting busy. I have new responsibilities, what with people leaving the company while things are heating up, business-wise, and I would prefer to just be doing what I was hired to do. I'm an INTJ! Let me do my problem-solving thing! I really enjoy being a solutions specialist, helping people improve their lives and their enterprises with technology. Business development and product management? Not my strength, and not what I want to do. Oh, well, we can only do our best, and no more.

The exercise thing is going along nicely. Now I remember why I didn't really exercise for the past few years: it takes too much time! Yeesh! Exercising for an hour? That's 1/24 of my day! Going 3-4 times/week is fine so far, though. Pilates is pretty easy for me, so I think I'm going to just do that once/week, and then challenge myself with cardio and lifting weights the rest of the time.

Finally, Jeff and I might have found an almost-decent Chinese restaurant in this town. I thought it was bland, but didn't order anything that would normally be really zippy, anyway.

Catch you on the flip side, all! It's bedtime.

Can you still come out on Friday? We need to talk! :)

I WISH Pilates was easy for me. I'm hoping to get to that point sometime in the future.
