Red and Gold and... Gray?!

This past week has been consisted of new things. Really!

I participated in the JP Morgan Chase Corporate Challenge in San Francisco. My favorite fruit slash coworker, Teresa, did it with me. We planned on (at best) jogging the 5K course, although we signed up for the non-competitve-slowest-of-them-all corral. Naturally, we didn't prepare and ended up walking the course. Ha! We had so much fun though - walking, watching people, taking pictures, etc. It was our first time signing up for this, and we were just glad to have been there.

Then the weekend came. I bought a brand new car! :) Is it lame to say that I felt pretty grown up doing it all by myself? Minus the negotiating part... my brother did that. But I did the rest! Financed and registered it solely under my name. Got my very own insurance policy (no longer under Dad's). Signed away my life for the next few years. Mine, mine, mine! All under my precious name. I'm sure it'll hit me (in not so good way) once the bills start coming in. Boooo!

In the same weekend, I went to the 49ers home opener game against the Lions! We went to church early, so we could leave as early as possible. We loaded up on booze, snacks, and went on our merry way to do some tailgating before the kickoff. To say that the place was packed and full of energy is an understatement, but it was so amazing. The game was fantastic in a vanilla kind of way, but it was all worth the big bucks we shelled out. Our seats were amazingly close to the field too. 2-0 going in to week three. Can't be too sure, but we look great. ;)

And the day after the weekend, I met my new boss and my new team. The "tryout" day wasn't so much of that. Since hearing the news, I have felt that my back is against the wall on the decision. It's alright though - I feel like it's for the better. I can't wait to no longer have Bosszilla's name in my hierarchy. I'll adjust to my new team in no time, fingers crossed.

We'll see where the rest of this month takes me. Looking forward to being productive. Looking to getting over the fact that I can't be at the Giants game this Saturday. *shruggs* It's all good. Got a few errands lined up for me today; getting ready as soon as possible would be ideal.
