Memphis, Baby!

Barry and I are not traditional Valentine's Day people. The first V-Day we were together he made dinner reservations which turned out to be a disaster which involved us standing in the cold for a while and then getting takeout from Cooker (RIP), of all places.

Since then we've kept it low-key. Usually dinner at home, nothing fantabulous.

This year we decided we'd take the opportunity to do something fun, so this afternoon we're heading the Memphis! That's right, we're going to spend Valentine's Day visiting Graceland and eating BBQ. It's just an excuse to get out of town, really, but it should be fun.

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

A Brave New World

Today is my first day as a work-at-home-wife! Last Thursday I finished up my last official day with the ALS Association and I'm now working solely as a freelancer. I'm currently working on a contract that keeps me busy about 15-20 hrs a week, and I may be looking to pick up other projects here and there.

It's exciting, and a little scary. I don't do well without a set schedule, so it's going to be a challenge to establish one that's productive for me. I'm excited, though, about having more free time. Especially for the past couple of months things have been a bit hectic, since I've been trying to juggle two separate jobs.

Now I'm looking forward to charting my own path and focusing on some other "life" things that I've let go by the wayside recently.

Here's to more freedom! Wish me luck.
