I Need Your Love by Elle Goulding

I know I am so bad at this blog thing now.  I used to update all the time!  Now it's maybe twice a month?

I was moved at work today, from sharing a cool office with a nice view of the garden.... to the hallway.  A new Senior Account Executive started today, she's super nice, but basically means that I won't ever be hired on here when they think I am worthy.  So after a few months of solid PR work here, earning a stellar recommendation, I will try and look for something a bit more permanent.  Hopefully with business cards involved.  I am bummed about having to move.  I thought the new girl would use the pregnant lady's office until she came back (her last day was Friday so it would have worked out perfectly).  Also I want a new MacBook and guess what you get when you're a new BackBay employee?  But she's really nice and so I can't take out my personal frustration on anyone here.  (she's also younger than me, with a high title, so I'm extra miffed).

I am flying home Wednesday night, and I am super excited about it.  I can't wait to see my family and friends.  I basically have the week already booked up with stuff to do/people to see.  I am still a few presents behind, but I think I still have some time to catch up.

When was my last update? Like in the beginning of the month I think. hmm.. Since then we've gone to dinner at Jessi's house, tried to go ice skating in the common, traveled to Porter Square, gotten "Happy Hour" drinks in the financial district (I put happy hour in quotes because if this was a normal state, that's what it would be.  Since there are no drink specials in MA, it was just us getting full price drinks and appetizers at 5pm).  I had a fancy work party dinner at Stella, an Italian restaurant in the South End.  The work dinner was fun, I got really good food.  I didnt feel bad ordering an appetizer and dessert since everyone else was, which is a first.  And there was a lot of champagne and white wine.  I started with mozzarella stuffed arancinis, then got linguine with asparugus cream sauce, parmesan, thyme, and a poached egg, then had tiramisu for dessert.  It was all so good, I was so tired and full that I went to sleep as soon as I got home.

It's finally getting cold and ugly here- at the same time.  Lately its been cold but nice outside, or ugly but weirdly warm.  I'm hoping for some snow, but it would totally suck if it happens while I'm back at home.
