I've been "away" for a while, but I've been coming back periodically to check my links here because I really enjoy reading everyone's blogs. It inspires me.
A lot of changes have happened since I last posted... I've moved, but I'm still settling in. At my last job, there was so much drama, it was nice to just come home and melt, to lie on the couch watching tv, or to play on the computer and forget about everything else. I became a bit antisocial. In the past month, I've been coming around again. I've met some nice people, and I've felt encouraged to get out more, so I have. :) Now I have a new job, and although it's a little frustrating to be going through the training process and not feeling like it belongs to me yet (although I'm doing really well, and my partner says I'm catching on quick--I know I do catch on quickly, but it's nice for other people to notice!), when I come home at night, I don't lose sleep. That's a good feeling, as Mr. Rogers would say. ;)
So, new home, new job. What else is new... hmmm, new travels? :) I went to San Diego, California in February to visit my brother. Stayed for about 5 days. That was nice. We saw some of Balboa Park, the Wild Animal Park, the Scripps Aquarium, Torrey Pines Beach, and Old Towne while we were there. We went out to this so-cool restaurant called Rama. ( http://www.ramarestaurant.com/home.htm ) It was good to see my brother again since we have so little time together. Literally, I have not spent that much time with my brother since he left for college, and that was a LONG time ago! Even when he finished college and was deciding on which job offer to accept, or when he took the haitus before the cross-country bike trip, we didn't really spend quality time together.
I also painted this (oil on canvas pad):

Well, I have to go fix my hair so I can be ready to make a good impression in an hour. ;) More later!
