Wow! Getting back into the swing of things is so hard! I have been home for two weeks and I am still reading the same book! It is a really fast read and so well written, and I still am having trouble finishing it! I am working really hard at my new job, trying to prove my worth I guess. I am still enjoying the new job and working with my buddy Jane.

Mostly, I have been working and then coming home and hanging with Mike. However, recently I had the great thrill of meeting Anjali of Lotus Reads!!!!!!!
She was in town for a literary festival and we got to meet briefly during a break in the action there. I drove her up and down part of Lake Shore Drive because if you are in Chicago you have to see that! Anjali is so cool and so smart!!! She is really interesting to talk to and a total sweetie!!! I wish she lived closer!

I have not been in my stamp room in a month!! Scandal!! I am planning on driving out to my friend Trish's house this Saturday for some stamping therapy! Hopefully I will have something cool to post on my blog!

Wish I had some more exciting news to report, but for now I am just living life, having a good time, drinking Tab, and eating Starburst candies (one of the gals in the office has them on her desk and I am now addicted! Sheesh!).

Hi, Laura!

It's always hard to get back to a routine after a great vacation! I wasn't in Chicago long, but my mind is still there. Man, I really do love your city, Laura! :) Thanks so much for showing me around...I truly enjoyed the drive and your wonderful company. I, too, wish we lived closer.

I am halfway through "A Reluctant Fundamentalist" and enjoying it very much! Thanks a bunch for the recommendation!

Hope you get back to stamping soon...I miss seeing your cards!

Have a beautiful weekend,Laura!

Hooray you have a new job!!!!
Also, I looked for Tab at Walmart and (gasp) they don't have it! Do you find it easily where you live?

What a nice blog you have here! I found you via Lotus Reads. It's always nice to see when bloggers get to meet in person. Sounds like you both had a great time! : )
