I Survived!!!

That's right, folks!! I'm a survivor!!! I made it through my first week at my new job!!! I wasn't voted off of the island!!! Whew!!!! :)

Week One was filled with lots of learning, many "I'm not sure - I'm the newbie so let me find out" responses, hours of shadowing, an abundance of laughter & smiles, and a few occasions of being thrown into the fire! But at no point in the week was there any self-doubt, second guessing the decision I made, or fear!!!

My new home away from home!

I'm a public librarian at the Joel D. Valdez Main Library....and I'm finally home! :) Oh....and can I just say that it's frickin' AWESOME when one of your "homework assignments" is to take home a Nook and try it out! I'm currently reading Serena Williams' memoir entitled On The Line and it's an interesting read so far!!!

Enough about work....let's move onto prep!

Yesterday marked 3 weeks out!! Last Saturday, I signed up at the Gold's Gym that is thisclose to the library so I was able to hit that up this week during my lunch hour. It was strange working out at a new gym but once I put my headphones on & started my workout, it was no big deal!

I'm holding some water and am a little squishy due to TOM getting ready to show up but I feel like there was a small amount of progress made from last week to this week. The plan as of right now is to keep cardio/workouts/diet the same for this next week.

Why do I look like I'm in pain?!?!?

There's a wig shop that is also thisclose to the library so I walked there Friday during lunch and found this new wig. I feel like it's a bit more low-key than the last one I wore and it feels more like me. What do you guys think?

Tom and I are tossing around the idea of changing my August show to the Pacific USA show in Anaheim, CA versus the New Mexico show we were previously planning on. No firm decision yet but I'll keep you updated!

I leave you with something I shared on facebook a few weeks ago...I love it...even if it's a bit cocky :)
