I'm rocking my job right now! Last Saturday, we held the annual spring festival for the families that I work with in my program, as well as anyone else from the public who wanted to attend. What a great day that was! I was thrilled that it turned out so well, given this was my first time coordinating an event of that size (other than my wedding, of course). Lots going on that day... 6 staff plus 15 volunteers including a Girl Scout troop, craft stations, bubble station, giant inflatable moonwalks and slides, snacks, sno-cones, door prizes, music, group time. After it was over, I came home, changed into PJ's, collapsed on the couch, and enjoyed the afterglow from a successful day of hard work. My next project involves spending down $5700 in grant money before this fiscal year ends. Shopping with other people's money? They call this WORK?!!
Life is good. Birthday was mellow... visited my favorite Italian restaurant, then hit the movies to see Shrek 3. I got to see all of my parents within the last 2 weeks, both sets (of mine) came down to go to the mountains. Everyone's happy and healthy!
Been plowing through lots of books lately. Just finished "Marley and Me", a nonfiction by John Grogan. I highly recommend it... what a great read! If you're looking for a sweet story that doesn't insult your intelligence, this is your book. At first glance you would think it was all about this guy and his dog, but it's really about the joy of living. Hands down, one of the best books I've read in the last year. Just be prepared for an emotional ending!
