Goings On
Ben and I are doing great. We spent Labor Day weekend at a wedding in LA (see pics) and then last weekend camping with my friends in Julian. There are other things, like work, relationships, kickball and even some more significant details.. but nothing I'd go so far as to blog about.

Tag!
Well since I was 'tagged' by Cari, I guess I'm IT!
Seven interesting, but utterly useless and self indulgent facts about moi:
7. Like Cari, I HATE mouth noises. The chewing sound is akin to nails on a chalkboard to me. It gives me anxiety and turns me into a total bitch.
6. Regardless of how hot it is, I have to sleep with covers
5. I have no regrets. I've made tons of "mistakes" but I've learned from every experience and feel as though they've made me a better person.
4. I make random, wierd faces all the time- not to anyone in particular, just to myself...
3. I am the most passionate about exercise and nutrition. I could probably tell you anything you ever wanted to know about either subject.
2. I still have the ashes from when Muffin was cremated.
1. I think I'm partially psychic. Well, not really...however I am oddly in-tuned to specific people and can sometimes tell when somethings about to happen or has happened.
So that's it. Hmm..I'm supposed to 'tag' a couple people, but considering only about 5 people know this blog exists and the majority of them have already completed this questionairre...I'll only tag 1- Auntie, you're it.

The BIG intro
I've been back in the saddle for awhile now. I've been seeing Ben since Ian and I broke up in April. We met through our kickball league and have pretty much been inseparable since. I could honestly spend every second of the day with him... it's great. We spent 4th of July up in LA with his friends and went to his Aunt's bbq in Malibu. True to form, I impressed all of them with my wit and charm..haha
Mom came down last weekend to help out with Rodrigo while I went to Scottsdale and she got to spend time with Ben on Friday and Sunday. They loved eachother, which is fantastic.
His parents are coming down from Sacramento this weekend for the big intro...a little intimidating, but I'm also really excited to meet them.
A little about Ben: He's 33 and an Analyst working in the Counter Intelligence dept for the NCIS. He went to UCLS for his Bachelors and Georgetown for his Masters. He's Jewish (although non practicing) and grew up in Sacramento (went to Jesuit). He's funny, very caring, thinks I'm pretty much the best thing ever, and makes me very happy.
We're planning a trip up to Sac in September, so be on the lookout!

More Fun Times!
Last weekend some friends and I went back to Mexico. It was so beautiful, it was 90 degrees the entire time. It really is nice to get out of town for the weekend...especially somewhere that you don't have cell phone reception!

So I haven't updated in awhile...
2008 is shaping up to be a pretty great year. Here are a few things that have happened so far:
I am still dating Ian. I don't want to jinx anything, so that's all I have to say about that.
Work is going great as well. For awhile it's just been 2 of us in my department- the other being my manager. Needless to say I've had to take on alot of additional responsibility. My efforts have not gone unnoticed. I recently had my year review and was asked to take on even more responsibility training the 2 additions we have to my department. I also recieved a 9% raise, which is pretty awesome. As with any review, they also mentioned what areas I needed to work on. My favorite suggestion was that I "think before I speak." Hilarious.
I've done alot of great things with my friends so far this year as well. Here are a few highlights:
My holiday Christmas party. I am obviously having a good time.
New Years Eve 2008
New Years Eve with Ian
A couple friends of mine have decided to have a baby so we threw them a "Turkey Baster" baby. If you think about it, you'll get the joke.
These are the "Maybe Baby?" pictures:
And then there was the trip to the River House in Mexico:
And Finally, Slot Canyon in the Anza Borrego Dessert:
