wow, it's been awhile

hidey-ho, loyal readers (read: hi mom). so it's been awhile since i've written. and not much has happened in my life. shocking, i know. i've got three things to report.

1. thanksgiving was wonderful. rachel and i slaved away over a hot stove for days (well, a few hours at least) preparing a fabulous meal for everyone. it actually turned out quite well...we were so pleased with ourselves. it was so great to have mom, grammie, cam and rachel in town to share turkey day with me. we ate a ton, drank an insane amount of wine and beer, watched the ags smack the 'horns (*tear*), played games, ate some more, watched movies and even took a trip to monticello one day! all-in-all it was the best weekend i could have hoped for. thanks, everyone, for making the trek down to the mond. so glad you came!

2. work has been insane. that's basically all i do these days. and when i'm not working, i'm lying still like vegetables. i have no desire to do anything requiring brain power when i'm not working away. but things are going well on the job front, so that's good. working on two pieces of business has been a challenge, but hopefully it will pay off in the long run. learning more and more every day about this crazy thing we call the interweb, so that's just more fuel for the old resume. not that i'm thinking about going anywhere any time soon, but i've learned that in advertising (as in most fields), you're only as good as your resume says you are. but whatever, i'm getting great experience here...after all, that was the goal.

3. i am, as i type, sitting in the richmond airport waiting to board my flight back to texas for the holidays. halle-freaking-lujah. i haven't been home in 6 months, so, as you can imagine i am psyched. i have 9 whole days of doing not-a-whole-hell-of-a-lot in front of me. i'll be in austin with mom through christmas and then in boerne with dad until i fly back to the mond on the 29th. i may end up in dc to ring in the new year with rachel, but i may just stay in richmond and spend time with mimi. who knows.

everyone have a wonderful holiday with your loved ones. i may try to write more from texas, but i may not get around to it. i promise to post more regularly in 2008.
