Damn Swede

Today was one of those days at work. The kind you can never truly anticipate and always find surprising. I don’t care to go in to the details but at least in the short term the amount of stress in my life will increase significantly. My head hurts as a result of all the commotion so I am doing the only responsible thing and opened the good bottle of wine.

It’s funny. Over the past weekend several people asked me, “So, what’s new with you?” A certain excitement and expectancy of amazing tales of unexpected adventures that only a single gal in the city would have hung in the pause waiting for my response. “Um,” I’d stall, “Work is going well. I’ve been keeping busy there.” Honestly, the only truly new and exciting thing I could think of was that I switched my facial cleansing system. (And this is exciting news not to be taken lightly, by the way. I thrilled with the new products and my skin is glowing. But it very well may be just me.)

Anyway. I had this blog entry in my head where I would painfully detail all the “new” happenings in my life, only to illustrate to those who live vicariously through me that my life is not all martinis and mystery men. Or mostly the martinis. But then today happened and I was reminded once again how quickly things can change.

And speaking of changes, as of last night I am going to Atlanta in April and Las Vegas in May. My dearest friend Julie is getting married and I am her maid of honor. This would have been on the “new and exciting” list, and be the most exciting thing on the list. I have been weepy since she asked me because I can’t believe my little girl is getting married. I am so incredibly happy for her and honored to stand up for her.

As for work - well, it will all get done. It always does.
