A lot has happened in the last week and I can only imagine that part of it will be written.

Lets first start off with the fact that I will soon be GAINFULLY employed.  Last week I had three job offers, three AMAZING job offers. With pay and benefits I didn’t think would exist for me this soon after graduation. I am finally going to a salary position and not hourly, with a job that will not demand my whole life, doing EXACTLY what I want to be doing. So I get to check off the “Find a Great Job in my field” box on the 2010 Goals I set back in December. I had a very hard decision last week as to what job I would take, the pay came in about the same on all three, so it came down to logistics. I may end up with a Coulda-Shoulda-Woulda but I do believe I went with the best option for me. I can’t explain just how happy I am that I will be working again and for DAMN good money.

Lets see there is a pretty nifty guy in my life right now, he makes me smile a lot and all my friends love him (well the many who have meet him already) We have spent quite a bit of time together and it is really nice. Again my ability to jinx my own life on a regular bases is keeping this low key for now, but this situation has me pretty happy too.

Speaking of which it was GAME NIGHT on Friday and we held the night at Paul’s, so I spent the day over his place cleaning up and going shopping to prepare. Made a trip down to Putnam to see the mammadukes and get my bounty of fresh veggies from the garden. We made food, everyone brought some food and drinks.  My vegan friendly stuffed mushrooms and crab and vegan rangoons where a hit.. We had so much food and lots of drink it was a great night with great friends.

Saturday we crawled out of bed after 10 and got ready to get out of town for the day, the goal was to get to Maine but the traffic was crazy. So instead headed to Portsmouth to drink good beer, do some shopping and try/buy some AMAZING balsamic’s we got a Summer Peach and a Blueberry. It is really fun spending time with someone who enjoys amazing food too.  Followed by us trying to go to Red Hook for there to be a huge festival so we couldn’t even get into the brewery. So headed south a bit to Salisbury Beach, with a blanket, food and cocktails and chilled on the beach for awhile watching the moon in all its glory. To end the evening before some shitty rain appeared we played some games at the arcade and retreated back to Worcester.

Sunday was another low-key day, spent many hours sleeping to try to catch up on the hours of non-sleep I have been getting. Paul and I did some bumming around, shopped a bit and then got ready for what turned into another amazing friend filled night. The original plan was for us all to go to the drive-in, but with bad pairing Kelly decided a cook-out would be a good time. Well Paul had the great idea to bring the projector and with a laptop and a white sheet we had tons of food, 13 people and watched Zombie Land while getting bit by mosquitoes. Outdoor movie night on Kelly’s patio is a pretty awesome night.

The more and more I am involved with people here in Worcester the happier I am, I have a great group of welcoming and intelligent friends who make me love where I am in life even more. Everything is falling into place right now and as I stated back in December 2010 will be my best year ever, with a small hiccup in the middle. I don’t believe I have been as happy in my life as I am currently and that is a pretty big thing.

Next: Get a Car……..the search continues.

What an fantastic weekend. The first REAL spring weekend of the year involved old friends, new friends, beer drinking, outdoor eating, ghetto carnival attending just to eat fried dough and laugh at the cities finest, music listening, sunshine walks and rooftop fun.

Friday I headed down to Connecticut to have coffee with the mammadukes, we headed over to Victoria Station and sat outside and enjoyed the warm spring air. I stayed in on Friday night if only to get rest for what would become a pretty busy and fun weekend.

Saturday after getting all my “chores” and “errands” complete I went to Connecticut once more to meet up with Jen for lunch and catching up. We ate at 85 Main outside enjoyed the sun. We ate and headed to an old high school friends house, who has three little boys that crack me up. Proceeded to go get my nails done, hang out with my friend Tim who recently moved in next door in the main building. Which lead to beer, rooftop viewing and beers with our other neighbor/friend Gabe.  We are going to slowly overtake the Bancroft While the men were both old and tired I decided to finish the night off at The Dive, listen to music, meet up with some friends who had seen me crossing the street and decided to join me. I was a good girl and nursed 1 beer for 2 1/2 hours, while chatting.  Saturday in my book was a fantabulous day.

Sunday a new friend and I hung out. We did the Boynton for lunch, two vegans trying to find an open place to eat on Easter Sunday is not much fun.  Lunch was followed by a quick stop at Dr. Gonzos and then a LONG stop at the Abbey for a couple beers. Sat next to a very eccentric middle aged woman who chatted openly with us about sex drive, use of Viagra by her ex husband and her 5 cats.  A bit awkward but funny non the less.  Both a bit stuffed and bloated from a mid-day beer adventure decided it was a good idea to head to the Ghetto Carnival around the corner from my apartment, there is at least a stabbing or shooting or some other form of assault that occurs there most years. But fried dough and people watching was perfect for the sunny 70+ degree day. White Booty shorts by a older mom, fat kids getting sick after a ride, men in head to toe pink linen suits. Good times had by many, but we had to leave.  Once Dustin left I wanted to still be in the middle of everything only because the weather was amazing. So I headed over to the Dive, text Tim and dragged his ass out to have a beer with me.

Overall it was a wonderful weekend, lots of time with friends always makes me happy. Worcester has really grown on me, the people, the places, and I find the charm in so many things.

Now to get this week started and then ended. Suppose to have 70-80 degree temps all week, my allergies are in full bloom. All is good… Happy Monday
