*Slaps self across face*

I've been bad again, but I hope to be better. I know, promises, promises. I need some follow through!

So, the past couple of weeks have been eventful. I had my biggest work event of the year this past weekend..... and it will be my last one at my current job, because I just got a new job with TNT! I am very excited, this organization is where my true passion lies. I am psyched about being on the inside to make a difference in the fight against blood cancers. I hope that it goes well, I hope that I am successful, and I hope I am a part of the process that gets us to a cure. I start my new job a week from Wednesday, so that means pretty quick turnaround, but it's better not to be idle......

Running has kind of fallen on the back burner as things have been crazy busy, but I am hoping to get back into the groove starting tonight. I am headed home after work to change and go do an easy 30 minute run and some weights. I need to counteract my laziness/tons of M&Ms I ate today. Bad, Bad K.

It's very weird to try and wrap things up in my current position. This was my very first grown up job, and it's strange leaving it. It makes me feel even more like a real grown up. Which I rarely feel like.

This is short, and somewhat boring.... I'll try to make it more interesting soon. I'm wrapping up so that I can leave for the day!

I've been a bad blogger

I have been the kind of blogger that I like to complain about. I've been neglectful of my readers. Thank, Jill, for calling me out on it ;).

Here's a little life wrap up....

Work: Been busy, we have our biggest event of the year coming up. I'm trying to get my end organized and make sure everything is in place.

Love: Still in it! D and I have been doing well. I luuurrrvvvvv him.

Wedding: Making progress! I booked a florist, bought a veil.... I'm still in search of someone to do my hair. I went and scouted invitations last weekend, and I think I found some that I like. As per usual, I do the scouting, narrow things down, and then present my top pick to D for approval.

Training: We are a month into training, and it's going alright so far. I'm definitely one of the slowest people out there, but that's alright. I AM out there! I've been better about sticking to my training schedule. I try and go right after work in order to prevent the "I'm too tired and want to sit on the couch because it's right there" itis. Half marathoners like myself are doing four miles (with hills!!!) this weekend. Woo! And that leads to the reminder about donating......

Weight: I think I've finally found something that works for me. I've been eating smaller meals more often, and I'm never starving. I try and focus on low calorie, high fiber or high protein snacks to supplement the time in between meals. I dare say I think I'm changing my metabolism, and it's working out for me. Yay! Food is always the biggest roadblock in my quest to slim down. I love it too much.

Not much else to report..... D and I are having some adventures in parenting this weekend. We'll be watching my sister's three kids overnight for the first time. We've done plenty of babysitting and hanging out during the day, but overnight...... Yikes! I hope it goes well. I would like to return all of her children in one piece :).

I'll try and compose a more entertaining, thoughtful piece soon, I just wanted to say wassup to my friends, and I'll be back soon!
