it's friday, and i'm in love. i don't mean with a tv show, a book, a new blog, a cute shirt or an awesome song.
i'm bursting with excitement about this new chapter in my life. you know how people say it's so wonderful to fall in love with your best friend? well, that happened. a friend i've known for almost four years. a friend who i've gotten closer and closer with over the past few months. my best friend who keeps me up at night laughing until my side hurts, has no problem going to vegan restaurants with me, and who i know beyond a shadow of a doubt would do anything for me. i mean, he's pretty much the best thing ever, and i'm crazy about him, and i'm sorry this is a mushy, squishy, ooky post. but if i may... SQUEEEE!
ok. moving on. more big news at work, but i'm not quite at liberty to share just yet. it involves a promotion, a completely new position and department to build out, an opportunity to create some game-changing stuff in the nonprofit sector, and a pretty ridiculously awesome title involving the word 'innovation.' i can't wait to talk more about it.
i will be back more often, i promise. pinky swear. even though my schedule in august looks like this: nyc --> sfo --> vegas --> sfo --> atx --> ct --> nyc. i get exhausted just looking at that.
but the best part about the last two months has been my weekly trips to the beach with B. every saturday, we wake up at the crack of dawn, throw some towels, sunscreen and watermelon in a zipcar, and hit the long island expressway for a day of sun and sand. i count down to saturday morning every week (23 hours til we go tomorrow!) and savor every moment of this:
is it legal to be this happy? i just cannot believe it.
