So much catching up to do...

But first thing's first. I've got two weeks of Loving and Loathing to catch up on.

Loathing:

• tree pollen
• my allergies
• inefficient prescription allergy medication
• tree pollen
• my allergies
• and oh yeah, did I mention tree pollen and my allergies?

Loving:

• Rain, sweet rain! Thank you for coming and taking care of all of that nasty tree pollen! I can finally almost breathe again :)
• Bob Woodward speaking at my job. Talk about cool! I was *so* starstruck!
• Taking a second job at a Ballroom Dance studio (I miss me some ballroom something fierce! Its like a wonderful homecoming!)
• Second job helping to make a nice big dent in my debt
• *NOT* feeling like I'm living paycheck to paycheck
• My friends and how they encourage (and love to partake of) my ridiculosity :)
• Guitar Hero
• My co-workers sharing Mother's Day Gifts with me for being a "kitty-mommy" :)  (I'm the only woman in my office who's not already a mom, so they didn't want me to feel left out)
• And most importantly, my family, who I will get to see again this weekend. Yay for Mothers and Grandmothers and Godmothers!!!
