let's see... first is the move to the new office. well, new campus really because it's so much more than just a building. the company is working towards gold LEED certification, so there's a ton of eco-friendly and green initiatives involved with the whole building, construction, and campus design aspect. it's pretty awesome. :)

when you've never had an actual commute to work, boy does it shake things up when life does a 180° flip. i'm pretty much an early bird to begin with, so getting up early is nothing new to me. it's the actual drive and dealing with traffic that i have a hard time with. traffic and being in a car in general have always caused really bad anxiety for me. if i could, i'd live in a commuter-friendly town and walk everywhere... but, i digress. must live in the now... funny thing is, now that i'm beginning to adjust, i'll have to learn a whole new routine since our new place is on the complete opposite side of town, 25 miles away from our current apartment.
on top of trying to get in sync with the new work campus and routine, work itself has really begun to pick up. caution: the busy season is finally arriving! when things get hectic, it's time to pop on my urbanears and type the day away until my fingers are achy and my eyes glossed over with that staring-at-the-computer-screen-for-too-long look. hot tea (i've been absolutely obsessed with The Republic of Tea's Honey Ginseng Green Tea lately) and coffee have been lifesavers recently!
oh! i can't believe i forgot about the other exciting news! geeze, so much excitement lately. we found the wedding coordinator (and design) team of our dreams!! seriously, if you have never heard of (haha i say that as though everyone should) Scheme Events... boy are you missing out. for realsies though. this group of ladies has coordinated some truly, truly gorgeous weddings, and i am oh, so excited (and truth be told honored) for them to design our big, big, biggest of days!!!
and while i'm on the topic of weddings... my dress (THE dress) ships from wherever it was made (not a clue from where) and will arrive in store at the end of the month!! eeeeeeeeeeekkkkk!!! i have major, major, serious butterflies when i think of it! le sigh...
now, i realize i didn't put up a "what's on the menu" post for this week. firstly, again, it's been nuts. nutso. crazy. busy. hectic... secondly, all my pots, pans, dishes, cookware... you get the point, etc... are neatly packed away, so cooking isn't an option. i bought a week's worth of pre-made meals from Fresh N Easy. they have this new (well, new to me because i haven't shopped there in ages. i have no clue if they are new) line of EatWell grab-n-go meals. not what i'd eat ideally, but sometimes you just have to tweak your routine and go with the flow.
i also haven't put up a workout post in a while. my workouts have been so inconsistent and broken up. it's was really tough not to beat myself up over being out of routine. there's been several mental boxing matches going on inside this little brain of mine... until i finally decided to stop focusing on the negative (the fact my workouts have been sporadic) and realize that sometimes things need to fall apart a little in order to make room for imminent change. and that is ok. instead of posting and bringing focus (in my mind) to fewer workouts, i've decided not to post my workouts until i am in a more regular rhythm that i'm comfortable with.
hmmm... i want to say that just about wraps up my life for the past two weeks or so.
whose got some exciting news to share? :)
