gotta make this quick...

because i'm starting fresh tomorrow...fresh meaning i'm getting back on the wagon. keeping up with points and exercising. and my goal is to get up in the morning...i figure if i get up early that will be a good time to exercise and i will be tired a night so i will be able to sleep now that e is gone. we will see if my plan works.

i think i'm going to try and blog about this and this can be my accountability...(laughter) as if i haven't tried this approach before. anyway, i figure most of you are in the same diet boat with me so i'm not even going to worry about my history of diet/blog failures. take that negative nagging brain...that's my brain i'm talking to.

so i will weigh tomorrow and post some number...maybe my loss goal...not the goal weight...that sounds not so intimidating.

plus, i'm doing race for the cure in october and i have to start running soon.

and you're probably wondering about the job...and thanks to everyone for keeping nice tabs on me and sending me your covetous thoughts. today was good. i spent the morning with the graphic designer i've replaced. keep in mind that they decided to focus more on marketing with hiring me with the idea they could outsource design work. anyway, things are a bit clearer today. and i think tomorrow i will dive into some things.

speaking of diving...today after being "trained" i dove into the biggest pile of crap i've ever seen piled in a small office/cubicle/jimmy-rigged space. for some reason my predecessor (probably because he's a "designer" or a simply a he) didn't clean out anything. he just kept everything and moved around it. so i cleaned today. a lot. and some of you know...my kitchen may not be clean but my desk at work is always clean. it's true...as odd as that sounds.

so i still feel good about things. there are things that seem a bit odd. the owner and his wife (aka the vp and my real boss) are very different and have an odd relationship in the office and i'm trying to figure them out. i'm also trying to wrap my mind around my role (ie. change in position)...i suppose that will come with time.

in the meantime, i'm good.

one other thing before i head that way, i watched shut up and sing tonight. the documentary about the dixie chicks. it was pretty good and pretty shocking.

americans are crazy...especially those red necked ones.
