Update

Friends, I got a new job. It was the craziest thing. I guess the word on the street is that I'm awesome (not really) because I wasn't even looking for a new job, but one day I just got a phone call, next thing I know I'm interviewing, and the next day I'm looking at a job offer I can't sanely turn down.

Seriously, though, I'm really excited about the new opportunity with this great firm. SO that's big news, right? Right! I start on Monday. (If anyone wants to know the firm, email me, because I wouldn't want anyone to google it and land on my blog...)

In the meantime, I had some vacation days to burn, and I have been exhausted for about 2 and a half years, so I'm taking a few Bets Burgess mental health days to prepare for my new challenge. Here's what I've been up to.

1) Discovering smoothies. I was at the gym the other day and decided to fly by the seat of my pants and try a smoothie. I have to tell you, I was surprised to discover the extent of its deliciousness. So since then, I've been driving around town, desperately seeking smoothies, because I feel ashamed going into my gym just for the sole purpose of buying a smoothie. I am pretty sure this is just one of my phases.

2) Getting my hairs and toes did. So I had to get a haircut because I was shaggy and of course I want to make a good impression at my new place of employment. The girl did a good job cutting my hair, but then she got this great idea to curl it in addition to blow drying it. It was poofy... really really poofy, but I let it go, because I didn't have the heart to tell her I was just headed home and not to a Louisiana beauty pageant. When Gavin got home, he definitely laughed in my face.

3) Massage. Nothing like paying a complete stranger to rub up on this. Actually I got a gift certificate as a parting gift from my firm (thanks guys!) so I cashed that puppy in today. They used all this aromatherapy lotion, and now I smell just like a box of junior mints.

4) Drinking alcohol. This is self-explanatory.

5) Watching All My Children. So I distinctly remember being 3 years old and watching AMC with my mom, and seeing Erica Kane on the screen, played by Susan Lucci. Well, the Lucci-Kane is still kickin' and she is a bad ass. Love. that. girl.

Well, I'm about to head out to meet my man and some friends for a drink (see #4). Until next time...
