Happy Winter Solstice!!
I just got a new laptop this week, and it's super light and tiny and I love it. I was a little nervous about getting a 13.3" screen, but I totally don't miss the 15". And for all the crap I've been hearing about Windows Vista, I am getting to know it this week and once you get used to where everything is, it's kind of cool-looking. I got tons of memory so I'm not running into any problems with it. Now I just have to figure out what the hell is going on with Word 2007 - it's totally different. But the best part is I can sit on the couch and dook around for hours guilt-free. It's so liberating being done. And having a job that I like. Yay for autonomy!
I just started reading the His Dark Materials trilogy. Saw Golden Compass last week and loved it, so I thought I better read the books. A woman behind me in line when I bought them asked if they were for my kids. I'm like, no, they're for me! I'm going to spend my holiday reading young adult fiction!

Alright, so no one was compelled to comment on that hilarious squirrel story.
In two days I go to the graduation ceremony where I get hooded (or knighted as M. says) and I get to wear my Hogwarts robes. Fun! Mom and dad will be in town, but no brother as he has to play in the orchestra of the city opera that he is in that night.
Today I accepted a temporary position with the company I worked for in Seattle for four and half years before I moved to Austin. It will be nice to have a challenging and fun job again - flexible hours, great clients, and I get to keep living here (at least for the next 6 months). It feels a little weird maybe to be working for them again, but all in all I feel really lucky and hope I can do a good job for them. One of my first new clients is in Hawaii, and I am heading there in January for three days - with up to two more trips by June!
