a long sunday evening

tonight i went to the annual staff meeting at work. we laughed, we learned, we ate fruit and veggies, we ran around the store, we got gift cards and i realised that i am going to enjoy my two months at this job very much. i find out on tuesday which section they are slotting me in and on thursday i will be celebrating my 25.5th birthday with mr. jamie oliver.... yummmm. more on that later, because i have no idea what i'll be doing the night that my favourite english kitchen stud graces our store with his presence. hopefully, i won't be stuck downstairs while all the ladies swoon over him upstairs.

i am going back to volunteering tomorrow morning after another four days of baby-free life. honestly, last wednesday was the WORST experience that i have had in a long time, and certainly not helping me to want to volunteer on wednesdays. (for reasons that i won't state here, mondays are infinitely better than wednesdays at the gym).

i've been bad with working out lately - i only went once last week, but the plan that scott and i are on includes some home exercise, namely sit ups for me, and i've been good about doing those, so yay. if i can get to sleep before 2am i will likely have the energy to work out directly after babysitting tomorrow, if not it will have to be a night visit to the gym. we shall see.

below is a photo of me circa may 2003. me at 21. not only do i miss having a slimmer face, i also miss having my hair ridiculously long.
