Ambitions

Got the new job!

And with new job comes new desires and new goals, new motivators, and lately, new friends I've been spending a ton of time with We've been going to yoga twice a week, sometimes more, and having a big group dinner afterwards. Just throwing together stuff from each other's fridges, and seeing what we can make. It's been an active, healthy, cheerful, tipsy time! staying up late on a weeknight, but silly fun and feeling stronger.

In other news, looking forward to seeing the pictures from last night's escapades. Iron Bartender! where teams compete to create the most delicious drinks with the most strange secret ingredients! I especially liked the wasabi round, and the cotton candy liquer round. Some drinks were trying to win the room's approval, some aimed at the judges, and some aimed fearfully cruel arrows to the judges stomachs in retribution for previously failed rounds!

I loved the creativity and presentation, and silly names made up for these silly concoctions! I was a member of the team that won the most rounds! mmmhmmmm tasty!

tonight will be more time with friends, with sushi and the second Sherlock Holmes movie, should be silly fun and cheering at the big screen. Saturday is some extra time at work, to catch up on things before I transition to a new job at a new company. Just like I've been enjoying the company of some new friends lately, and learning their individual perspectives on life, I imagine this new job will influence me similarly.

Curious how this will go! More time with family soon too! Can't wait to see so many faces I've been missing lately!

HERE'S TO NEW BEGINNINGS AND A NEW YEAR!
(also, I swear I will edit soon with pics, let's say... lunchtime!)

[edit: lunchtime turned into going home sick. feeling great now, and not finding any pictures from the Iron Bartending night, and so, with a promise of pictures, I am now leading you to this parade of the last month!]

New job means I need a new home for my carniverous plant! Where will he go?

James and Pierre hosted a night of sushi making and battleshots!

Last Saturday morning was the lunar eclipse! We camped in the backyard on Friday to prepare for enjoying the major nature event of doom. Then we hiked for a good view, and came back down for tasty breakfast food! We ran into Brian and Casey at the restaurant and Brian took a quick pic!
