The Freshmen 15

Today was my first day in the new office. My boss had a new office built because we totally outgrew the last one. We moved out of 7,000 square feet of space into 17,000 square feet of space. The details that he put into the new place is amazing. From custom marble to specialty lighting, wallpaper, murals in the breakroom - it's amazing. The good news is that I have a brand new desk, it's much bigger than my last one and it's really nice to work in such a beautiful environment. The bad thing is that my desk is right outside of my boss's office, and I back up to not only his office, but also a walkway, so I really really have to be careful about getting on the internet and in particular, reading blogs. Oh well. I guess I'll be producing a lot more proposals anyway since we have to pay for this multi million dollar office.

This is the temptation I have to deal with on a daily basis at work - first five items I saw this morning at work...

1. 4 boxes of dunkin donuts
2. bowl full of hershey nuggets on the receptionist desk
3. kitchen fully stocked with items from Costco such as chips, sodas, candy and more candy
4. not one, but two apple pies that someone baked at home and brought in

and then when i thought it couldn't get any worse...

5. My boss calls us outside to the courtyard at the end of day, there is a table set up with champagne and several trays of cookies, brownies and other assorted treats. He made a speech and did a toast to the new office. I hate apple cider by the way. The cookies were good though.

I'm going to gain the Freshmen 15 if I don't watch out.


I got the hair done on Saturday. It looks good - I went redder, darker and shorter since Winter is approaching. Pictures coming soon - probably this weekend.

We had a little scare Saturday night when Lucy wasn't feeling well. She wasn't just sick, she was lethargic, walking funny, couldn't lay still, was very uncomfortable and she puked. She REALLY puked A LOT!!!!! I don't know what she ate, but something didn't agree with her. Poor baby. I seriously thought we might have to take her to the hospital, but luckily she went to sleep and the next day she was back to her old self.

Don had me pick four teams this weekend and this is why I don't bet on sports.

I picked the Ravens, Raiders, UNLV and Maryland - all four teams lost! Pretty impressive huh???

So, is anyone coming to Vegas this weekend? I'm still riding the high from hitting quads, I'm dying to get back over to the MGM and play again. It's only Monday and I'm already planning my weekend. Nice.
