1 hr till an eclipse.

It's really great to have positive people who love you in your life; For they know just the right words to say that can take your "day from hell" and turn it into one of the best jumpstart moments of your life!

I got offered my dream job with my present employer-different dept. How awesome is that?

But mgmt. says no go babe, we need the resources... You must stay!

"That's ok, that's alright, stay in there and fight!" Right?

So my theme song of the day/week or however long it takes is to make it happen is:
Christina Aquilera's - Fighter:
"So I wanna say thank you 'Cuz it makes me that much stronger Makes me work a little bit harder
It makes me that much wiser
So thanks for making me a fighter!"

Seriously, my determination is that much stronger.

I don't think these loaded in sequential order but whatever.
To kick the year off properly, I have not made resolutions to which I know I will never keep, goals I won't attempt and so on.
But I have resolved to eat at home for the first week or so. Or as often as possible. So, here was a meal prepared recently in keeping my word to myself...

I despise $$$ car repairs: I despise moving offices again! I despise when people who r suppose 2 count constantly tell u that ur mean - esp when everyone else thinks ur nice as pie; I despise ridiculous opposite gender games; I despise budget constraints; I despise situations that go no where; I despise when they just won't let it go...that's all 4 now.
