Remote Google -

Not a week goes by without a friend reaching out to let me know that they are in 'my old 'hood' thinking of me, or want to know where they should get drinks, dinner, out, etc...

Well guess what... I'm not living there right now and have started to create a new list for my new hood...

So until I get back... stop rubbing it in!! :)

Trying to figure out....

If I had KFC at a posh expensive restaurant, would it taste better than if it were out of the bucket at home?

NEW

This morning I woke up and, before I opened my eyes, I thought for a minute that I was in my condo in Chicago. I felt my silky Calvin Klein sheets that I had also in Chicago, my nice new mattress.... And then I began to realize and list all of the things in my life that are new...

In the last 6 weeks I have a new....

- Job and all that is related to it - office, job, expectations, commute, field staff, etc. (although same company)
- Apartment
- Car
- Car hood, grill and bumper (whopsie)
- Tenant (renting out my condo)
- City
- Gym
- Floors in this apartment (carpet installed, kitchen & bath coming early next week)
- Work computer - I was somewhat attached to my old Dell... it's been 3+ years!!
- Workberry
- Nail salon - although I still haven't found one I love
- Grocery store - although I miss the my organic yogurt, granola, Starbuck's Sugar Free Double Shots -- I'll be schlepping those down!
- Friends... Jenny!!! And my new coworkers...
- Cable service provider - lol...

And the list goes on.... I have had more major and minor change in the last several weeks than I have in a span of years and it's quite unbeliveable to me.

In the beginning of this year, I had set and firm goals and it's crazy that so much has changed in this short time. A lot for the good and some for the not so good... but through it all I never take for granted and appreciate that much more - my amazing and supportive family and friends.

I was thinking today when I saw a picture of Jennifer Aniston and Gerard Butler... from Brad Pitt to Vince Vaughn to John Mayer and now to Gerard Butler.... maybe this isn't so bad. Sure does change the perspective of "old maid with cats"
