Checking in...

As I am infamous for, I am checking in for the first time in what seems like forever.
To be honest, I tend to forget that this thing is here. It gets buried under the craziness and stress of my daily life and what not.

It's been a little over a year since I started working at Capricorn I, and I am constantly reminded that I love what I do. I've gotten to know the girls I work with very well, and sadly I realize I see them more often than my own family. It's been a hard year, though. My boss can be a bit draining to work with/for, and there's always the general drama that comes from being around females all day everyday. I finally am taking my first vacation next week and am super excited to be able to wake up and not have to go into work!

I had reallllly wanted to go somewhere during my vacation but as it quickly approaches and plans still aren't made, I probably will just wander around being a crafty (or lazy) ne'er do well...because I can :) Thoughts of visiting Gregory's family in North Carolina (his cousin just got back from a year in Peru) or my family in Tennessee (who I haven't seen up close and personal in about 5yrs) were present. As well as ideas of camping in Maine, or visiting a spot in Pennsylvania where there is no light pollution and the sky is unfathomably awe-inspiring. But alas, life was busy and time moved quickly, and I am unprepared for any such trips at the moment...but if a spontaneous opportunity arose, who am I to say "no"? I suppose we shall see....
