Fifty-two days into the new year, and I have to admit that I spent most of it working. I pretty much live at the office. New district, new district manager, new colleagues, higher expectations, a little bit more pressure, a lot to prove. It's an ongoing thing, but hey, time stops for no one right? Still breathing.
On the days that I was lucky enough to have off, I did spend doing some exciting stuff. For instance, I saw a performance of Michael Jackson The Immortal World Tour by Cirque du Soleil in San Jose followed by a visit to the "Happiest Place on Earth" for a few days with the boyfriend. Then, adding to one of the coolest moments of my life -- I went to my first ever NFL Playoff game! I wish the result was different, but it was still an awesome experience. I love my 49ers. The following weekend, I took a trip to Reno with my brother and friends for some more fun time. My niece turned seven years old. Saw a couple of movies in the theater, and took a handful of dinner trips to places like Boiling Crab, Cheesecake Factory, some chicken wings places, dim-sum bars, ramen houses, and sushi joints. Truly, those were great times.
Tomorrow is the beginning of Lenten Season, which means I've got quite a night of thinking and reflecting to prepare me for the season to come. Luckily, I have enough time before work to attend mass for Ash Wednesday. Dad said he will go with me! :)
