Big Day

my company filed an NDA today - new drug application. it's a huge deal, 8 years in the making. we had ice cream to celebrate and decorated the place up fancy. to make my company even cooler, the CEO & president both served ice cream to all the employees.

i can't imagine the party we will have if/when the FDA approves this thing. i can't wait to plan it! (no jinxing)

in other news, the Boof Bonser tshirt i ordered for my nephew arrived today. i can't wait to see him in it.

second weekend of freedom

so this was the second weekend that i haven't had filled with major plans since school ended...and i still don't really know how to deal. it's pretty crazy - around 1pm i hit a point of "what will i do with all my time?" - but then i find plenty to do to fill up my day. and i love it. sundays full of fun, random things pretty much rock. and a guilt-free day at the beach was equally fantastic.

someday soon i'll find something to pursue/focus on/be passionate about. for now, i'm trying to learn how to rest and relax. it's a struggle...but good for me, i think.

san jose runners

san jose runners are friendlier than mountain view runners. this shouldn't be a surprise, as it gets a li'l stuffier the further up the peninsula you go (no offense, peeps)...but it's pretty evident. or maybe it's just evening runners...i'm not used to them, either.

no less, i like it when fellow runners give a nod, wave or friendly "hi!"

ps i've recently heard the nickname "Man Jose" and it makes sense. again, quality, not quantity, people

another life goal

become a member of the "minnesota twins wives' organization"

over 4 years...

i've been in norcal for over four years now...and i still have "i totally get to live here" moments. i hope they never go away.

a li'l embarassing

i had to go to the dr today to make sure my tailbone's not broken. i had to talk to at least four hospital people and they all asked what i was in for..."uh, the weird bump that replaced the bruise on my butt..." then i had a ""butt-ray"". (roommate's code word for xray of the butt)

at least i don't have a donut, yet. and i told the doctor that i wouldn't fall any more.

this one's more fun
