Enough hibernating.

So, it's a little over 6 months since my last post, and I figured it's finally time to emerge from my silent hibernation and start sharing my rambling once again. Several things have sparked my desire to rekindle my affectionate relationship with you people. I break down these items, in no particular order, below.

1- The Bride (discussed several posts ago) and her fiance are getting hitched THIS weekend. This is huge. After months and months of preparations (choosing the bridesmaids' dresses, re-wrapping the bridal shower gifts and making sure the proper card was with the proper gift, planning a kick-ass bachelorette weekend...and I think the Bride probably had a few things to do to prepare, too), the big day is finally here. I'm so excited I even got purple nail polish to match my plum bridesmaid dress. Too bad my hot pink retro chic Timex won't match. Hmm, maybe for the rehearsal dinner?

2- I changed departments at work, and I feel like a born-again...something. It's amazing the huge difference the people you work with can make. I actually don't dread going to work anymore. Sometimes, I even look forward to it. (Well, I really only look forward to it on Fridays when Harold comes around with 3pm snacks. Last week, we had chocolate cupcakes from Crumbs. Oh. So. Good.) I'm now a real estate lawyer, and I got my apartment's leasing agent to lower the rent she was asking for my lease renewal by $90/month. If that doesn't mean I've proved myself, then I don't know what does.

3- I discovered the most amazing commercial ever, which I am sharing here, exclusively, with you. Those clever folks over at Geico have succeeded in making me laugh for a full five minutes with this beauty. Check it out here.

With that, I call it a night. Till next time.
