A Pinch of this, A dash of That!: July

Well things haven't changed much since my last post so this will be brief! I was fortunate enough to take some time off and go back to FL for some vacation as well as job hunting. It was great to spend time with my family as well as see some great friends down in St. Petersburg. The bad news is I haven't landed a job in Florida yet but the good news is I'm going on interviews so that means companies are hiring and I'm getting in some great practice! (and I already know where I want to live when I get there LOL, somewhat the cart before the horse I know but hey, a girl's got to be prepared!)

Things in Texas are extremely HOT - For the last three weeks I'm pretty sure we've hit triple

digit temps every day; and of course we've had little to zero rain - hints the burn ban. All in all I don't have any complaints - I know something will come through in Florida when the time is right; until then its that awful waiting game I must play! However I'm so into Bikram Yoga these days that its really helping me stay calm, cool and collected as well as stay in pretty decent shape (approx 15lbs lighter these days, woo hoo!)

Last but not least I'm absolutely thrilled for two of my very good friends. My college teammate Julie Zitterkopf got engaged to her boyfriend Mike. He proposed while they were horsback

riding on the coast of Oregon. Julie is from Nebraska so I see a trip to the midwest in my near future! However, I'm most excited for one of my besties of over 20 years - Ms. Annie Lee Adams - Her and Matt got engaged in Paris! - WOW. They are two of the best people I know and Matt couldn't be more lucky. Annie has the biggest heart, can always make me laugh and has been there for me in some pretty desperate times. I can't wait for this shin-dig in New Orleans! Congrats Julie and Mike and Annie and Matt!--- holy crap does anyone else realize that this puts pressure on me??-- Mr. Right where the heck are you??? LOL just kidding. I know he will come when the time is right!

That's all for now kids. But I'm happy to report I've started The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest - the third in the series of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. and its FABULOUS!!
