le lapin gris

I know I haven’t been updating very much, but life is tough as un lapin gris - hopping around, making sure my fur is kept fluffed, getting enough fiber and carotene intake (carrots. yum), and everything else that has to be seen to and done.  It’s a wonder I haven’t gotten the nobel peace prize for managing life!  Is that a category?  If not, somebody needs to go speak with that peace board.

Ok, enough tomfoolery.  I’ve just been busy, and trying to branch out more with making connections in my local community.  After I stopped going to the church that I had a seven-year relationship with back in May, I was a little bit caught in a social trough.  And just everyday relying on Boy and Boy relying on me to meet all of our social needs was exhausting for both of us.  But now, I’m making new friends, establishing new routines (girls’ night hump day!), and have found that it’s been really enriching for every aspect of my life, including my relationship with Boy.  DUH! I know, but hey, better that I got it late than never.

There’s also been exciting development at work.  Remember the banking project I had mentioned earlier?  Well, things have finally come to a head.  The presentation was complete, but had only been discussed within the original planning team.  On Tuesday, my boss’ boss comes to me and asks whether I want to present at the senior leadership team meeting (including CFO, Treasurer, Controller, several VPs of departments).  Basically, put me in a spot where I really wanted to say no, but couldn’t because the exposure opportunity was too good to turn down.  I mad prepped on Tuesday and throughout Wednesday, up to an hour or so before the meeting.  Long story short, the information was received very well, and I’ve been invited back to present again at the executive leadership team meeting (including even more bigwigs!).  

Final update: I got three movies from the library today.

1. Sixteen Candles
2. Sleeping Beauty (Disney)
3. The Rescuers Down Under

P.S.  I’m in the process of getting a new camera!  Once I get the photo editing and disk space on my laptop figured out, I’ll post more pictures.  

P.P.S. Hello Hawaii in two weeks!
