I’ve given my notice at my job that I’ll be leaving. Since we are very quiet they are letting me finish at the end of this week. So that means that I will have a week off before I start my new job! I think we’ll go to visit my in-laws (more fun that it sounds) and cross some of these things off my list.

Saturday I think we’ll go to the Fireworks. 9 months ago

YAY! I had my pedicure. It looks fantastic! Now I just need to do other things on my list. I had wanted so much to bake a lemon pie and perogies in my new kitchen before I went back to work, but now I’ve been back three weeks and my kitchen still isn’t finished (seriously, I have to stop blaming things on my kitchen).

I need to sell my bike and some other things on craigslist. I’m looking forward to just relaxing. I think I’ll have a week off in August to get things done and in order and get myself back to something relaxed… 9 months ago
