Life in the Fast Lane

My goodness! Life has gotten pretty hectic around here lately. But it's good! School has started back, and so there has been an increase in the things going on at work, what with the back-to-school specials, the re-opening of the Teen Center, and the After-school program beginning for the year. Additionally, I am in the process of trying to help with the audit of our programs that will be loaded on to our new computer system, as well as reformatting all of our branch's job descriptions. This past week, I've been in Sarasota attending computer training for our new system, so that I will be able to train everyone at our branch before we go live in October, and I will be in Sarasota all next week, also.

I don't mind the drive, but I wish Matt was with me, so that we could dash over to the beach after work...Well, he DID go with me on Wednesday, though! Wednesday was precisely six months from the day we married on the beach. I can scarcely believe that much time has already passed! It seems like we just married a month ago, really. I'm still finding myself amazed by how sweet he is, even though I should KNOW by now.

Anyway, Wednesday was great. I had to be at training at eleven in the morning, so we had a leisurely breakfast together and drove over. Matt dropped me at our admin building and took off to the bookstore to kill a few hours. When my training ended for the day, he collected me and we drove down to Main Street and parked. We walked a good ways down the road before we decided to pop into a wine bar called Grape. They have wine tasting on Wednesdays, so we tried a few, then lingered on to have dinner there, as well. It was excellent! Afterwards, we ducked into a store and both of us picked out some duds to try on for fun. It was good times, and I found the PERFECT blouse and purse!

As we left that store, it was raining. Chivalrous as always, Matt offered to run down the street to get the car and let me wait in the dry sanctuary of the store's awning. I declined, however, and we embarked on a romantic walk in the rain to our car...Well, as romantic as you can get with a husband grousing part of the way about the weather....But, he came around, thankfully. We actually had a lovely time.

Now that it is the beginning of the weekend, I feel myself unwinding a bit. I have been SO busy, I scarcely have had time to even check my WORK email, much less dedicate myself to blogging as regularly as I have in the past. I had told myself I would blog about the lovely hand-carved tables we discovered last weekend that we happily purchased to adorn our home, but now feel as though the time to gush about them has passed. I've got my eye on a new dining room table that Matt also loves which may be coming to live with us very soon. I will endeavor to find more time in the future to keep you posted...
