I just got back from a conference in NYC...all around a good time, minus the delayed flights. I think I'm going to really enjoy my new job, mainly because I feel like after this past year - I can handle just about anything...I'm sure there will be some curve ball thrown my way, but at least I'll have everything else under control (or so I seem to think!). I'm excited to get to know the regions that I'll be working with - LA, the Bay, Las Vegas, St. Louis, and Philly - hopefully I'll be able to make some site visits this year :)!! I think I was really worried about leaving my "family" w/ the recruitment team, but considering how welcoming and caring my new team has been especially with all things that have happened these past couple of weeks with the death of my Opa - I know that I'm in the right spot. I'm really lucky to be a part of talent recruitment now.
I think my apartment is just about complete - I'm looking for a pot-hanging mechanism for my grandmother's copper-bottom pans and I really want to frame some of my posters that I intend to keep for a while. It's time to step up to framing instead of the double-sided tape squares. I do have two new chairs for the living room, a new desk for my computer, and a new bed (and mattress)...thanks to the visit from the folks :).
I have decided that my dad can basically swing a free beer anywhere he goes. At first, I thought it was only at Free State Brewing Company, but sitting in the patio area of restaurant off of Division Street, the Kaiser somehow got a "stereo-typical" frat boy to give him his extra Goose Island 312...only my dad could make something like this happen.
Since Eric posted some of his artistic "still" pictures...I decided to do some work w/ some pictures from Blair's visit to Chicago last month...

Wow. It's hard to be really, really ridiculously good looking...but someone has to do it, and that someone is us. You're welcome, America. You are welcome.
PS: Word to being the first to comment and to my first official comment.
Impressive, Blair. Robert and Liesel will be super jealous. And Word to ME--first family comment.
And Mitzter--you may want to check out Eric's latest Blog comments to get Robert's suggestions for the mix CD. The "some Elvis song" request includes: Suspicious Minds & Kentucky Rain
I cannot say that I agree with Katie's above comment on the Elvis song...there have got to be better songs than those =)
As far as the blog: way to go L'Opa! How come he never gets me a free beer? Well, I guess he buys me beer, but still...
Your year is like mine--we just had a different experience for a year, and now feel more confident with ourselves. Hope your year goes super duper!
So, I've been absent in the comments. I can't believe how bad I am. . .dang! Three days late, well, nice pictures and I think "A Little Less Conversation" would be a great addition to the CD :)!
