Birthdays

This past Wednesday, I turned the seasoned age of 23. However, I do not particularly like odd numbers, therefore this entire year will be officially known as the 1st anniversary of my 22nd birthday. Or I am 22 for short while (1 yr) longer. The celebration of said birthday began on Friday, Feb 9 and ended yesterday (Feb. 18).
I believe I must have gained about 5lbs during the course of the celebration, but sometimes your just gotta live a little, you know? This week I will be re-doubling my efforts toward fitting into my bridesmaid dress on March 23. I've got about a month to re-lose 2lbs and lose an additional 5. Realistically speaking, I can do it. Unrealistically speaking, I would like to lose 15lbs by the wedding, but I've been living a lot instead of a little.

Today was supposed to be my first day at the Dermitology office. Instead I am working at UF as a lowly Secretary. However, this lowly Secretary position is paying me more than the crappy bank and giving me better benefits. I just have to adjust my attitude and set my pride down a bit and realize the benefits rather than acknowledging the desire to massage my ego. Eventually, I will get to a point of satisfaction in my job, position and salary, I just have to start at the bottom of the ladder to get there. I'm one rung higher in pay, the rest will come in time. I like the job so far, in that I am constantly busy, but still have some time to do things like post a blog. I don't like it so far, in that the day starts at 6:15 for me and I am sitting 85% of the day. I will have to find a way to incorporate more movement, i.e. more bathroom trips, water re-fills, and standing in general.
