good bye politics...hello heart walk!

My last day on the hill was Wednesday. I got sentimental (surprise-I know)....I enjoyed my time at the Capitol so much! The representative and my direct boss and friend Karen were so wonderful and laughed right beside me during my learning curves! You know, from little things like "what is a constituent?"...to "Karen-they need one more for Quarum...what is that?!?" I was so touched by both of them my last day. I had hydrangeas and a sweet card from Karen and a dish that has The State of Texas written on it-to remind me of my days on the hill and a card from the representative. They took me to lunch and both gave me sincere hugs goodbye. I am so excited to start my new job with American Heart Association-and I hope I find just as dear and sincere individuals there! I am sure I will!

I start my job Monday. I am very excited and ideas have been flowing thru me so I can't wait to get started...but thats the worst part-starting new jobs! We all know its awkward for the first few weeks. (Is it ok for me to eat lunch now?....is it ok to go to the bathroom now?...just little stuff you never think twice about after being somewhere a couple months!)-remembering names, learning phone systems...those little things! But hey-you have to start somewhere! Can't wait for you guys to take this new journey with me! :) stay tuned....

Paula Abdul is BACK!

I don't normally watch American Idol-I was out after Kelly Clarkson...but anyway..so I am listening to Kid Craddik in the morning on my way to work the other day and they had Paula on the show the morning after she performed live on the American Idol stage. How did I miss the boat that she was having a come back? During the interview they play bits of her songs-her blasts from the past if you will...and as they were playing them, I remembered how much I LOVED Paula in the 90's! Straight up now tell me...Your a cold hearted snake (I can remember dancing to this song on the third floor and pulling my shirt to be off my shoulders-and Lauri catching me and telling me not to do that)...The Way that you Love me....Hey baby-I'm forever your girl..I mean, I want to buy the CD all over again now!! Don't you?!? So check out her live performanc on youtube (click on the link below)-I know there is a way to get the actual video on here-but Amy is technically challenged. As for me, I am off to download her "He's a cold hearted snake" onto my ipod!
