Hello all! The holiday is over! Which means back to work for most. Fortunately (and finally) it means the same for me too. My temp position begins with an orientation tomorrow morning. I've been putting in an enormous amount of applications so I'm sure I'll get a permanent position shortly.

In the meantime I have been keeping my fitness up and trying new things; and my sister has been along for the ride. We went to I Fratelli, an Italian wine bar Saturday evening. Located in Irving, this restaurant quickly became one of my favs! The decor was chic and the food was reasonably priced which is always a plus. In addition, their bellinis are fabulous!

                                                                          


We concluded the evening with a trip to Blackfinn, a restaurant in Addison (love that area), to take advantage of the patio seating and have a few drinks to cap off the night.

I've recently done some research on the Internet and found an assortment of women's groups that meet up and do fun stuff together. This is totally out of my comfort zone, but why not? It sounds like a great way to meet new people and if it turns out to be a freak show I'll have a story to tell. I've also decided to take my fitness to another level and start doing marathons (5k only). The first one is called Heels and Hills and takes place in September!

I'm beginning to like it here!

    (I think I spell that different every time I write it!)

    So glad to hear/see you are having a great time in Dallas. Sounds like you are really making your new home in Dallas!

    I look forward to you and your sister taking me to these places!

    You will meet a lot of interesting people at those "event" and meet and greet sessions. I can’t wait to read about your experience there. *Smile*
