Happy Vacation to Me!

Today is my last day of work until JUNE 10th.  Yeah, I am just a little excited.

The best part is, I am getting PAID while I am gone. 

You see, my current job is my FIRST grown up job... meaning full time.  I have worked part time jobs since I was in college and while I was a stay at home mom... but now is the time where I am building my career... not just working at a job.

It still baffles me that I get PAID to be on vacation.  I know that probably sounds odd to some, but while working part time, if I took time off, I never got paid for it.  Accumulating PAID TIME OFF it still somewhat foreign to me, but I'll take it, just the same.

So... happy vacation to me. 

Greg and I will be traveling... to the point that I think we should make BOSSICK WORLD TOUR t-shirts for all of our stops. 

Since I've married Greg, we have been to Las Vegas (and got hitched), Los Angeles, Chicago, and other closer destinations as well.  Not too bad for seven months of marriage. 

This Friday, we are going to Atlanta.

And then next Tuesday we are going to Dublin... then to Belfast... then to Liverpool... then to London... then to Paris... then to Wales... back to Dublin... and back stateside.

Yep... heading across the pond to Europe.  It truly is a once in a lifetime opportunity.

I should also mention that I am taking ONE BACKPACK as my luggage... FOR NINE DAYS. This part may not end well. 

I can't wait to leave, but first, back to work for a few more hours so I can continue earning paid vacations!

On-Call Week Inspiration

I have been working from home this week because I am on-call yet again. If you are avid reader of the blog you probably remember when I went hulktastic on the screen on my front window after I locked myself out of the house. So far, despite Monday making me want to stab myself in the head with a spork, this week isn't going so bad.

Down Syndrome Race 2012

I will be running or attempting to run, on Thursday night in the 5k for Down Syndrome. My foot is still a little jakked up from Saturday's Race for the Cure. I have plantar fasciitis in my foot, which when it flares up feels like someone is stabbing me in the heel with a ginsu knife.. I refuse to let it beat me though. I will finish an entire 5k before the end of the year, and I would love for it to be this one.

Just Awesome!

Last year, I was a course coach during this race, so I didn't run/walk. It was an excellent experience, I got hugs and high-fives as the walkers/runners passed by me (though it may have been because I was at the half way mark) At any rate, It made me love this race even more. I have a couple of friends that have kids with Down Syndrome, and all they want is to be accepted and loved. Watching some of the kids and adults last year push themselves to make it the entire 3.1 miles was an inspiration to me.

Who inspires you?
