Saturday was two speical events, one was Valentine’s Day and the other was my birthday. Saturday has just a perfect day. I woke up to a lot of presents. I had two big gift bags one for my birthday and one for Vday all filled with a lot of cool things. Favorite gift of all was my TIX Clock. It’s mostly a “geeky” clock, but I find it to be a colorful, and interesting way to show what time it is. It has been a conversation starter for sure. Then on Sunday, since it was such a beautiful day, we headed up to Chimney rock for the day to go to the park to do a little hiking, and also go through the little shops in the village too. We had a great day. Plus I had a great weekend & birthday too.

Wow, can’t believe 2 months of this year are almost behind us. My birthday is not too far away either. I’ve been super busy with work lately, and no time for updates except a few tweets here & there.
I’m hoping to be able to write more later, but enjoying how the new year is starting for me so far this year work wise. A lot of positive things are taking place and I’m so excited about them too. Other than working all the time, I got to see another production of RENT last week. It was better than the last production, I saw in 2006, since it had some of the original cast from broadway, which also starred in the RENT movie too. Well, got to get back to coding some PHP for a project I’m working on, will write more soon.
So far this year it’s been rocking. A lot is changing already this year. I’ve started my search for a job in the city we’re moving too and things are looking up on that end. I’ve had some great interviews already and hopefully one of those great interviews will turn into a full time job. Until I land a job, I’m still doing a lot of consulting and freelance work. So far this year I’ve had a pretty good flow of work coming in, which is keeping me pretty busy these days, which is always good.
This year will be the year that I’ll be going to a lot of concerts, art shows, and broadway musicals ( I hope). I know we’re going to see another production of Rent, the broadway musical, that was a staple in NYC for years before ending last year. Plus two Jam Bands are coming to NC , that I’ve always wanted to see in concert, which are The Dead and Phish. They’ll be coming sometime during the summer and I hope I will be able to go to both of those shows. Another concert that I want to go to is to see Ani Difranco. She’ll be doing a few shows in NC this year and hope to have a chance to get to go see her live again. Last time we went to a concert of hers was about 4-5 years ago.
I hope to be able to get out to a few gallery crawls and art exhibits this year too. Have not been to one in ages and know I will be able to get back into going once we get moved to the city. Plus another thing once we get moved will be getting to go to all the cool indie coffee shops, book stores, restaurants, etc. Plus finally be close to a lot of the health food stores so we can finally ditch the “normal” grocery chains.I rather pay a little extra to get organic stuff than processed foods. I can really tell a huge difference in how I feel from eating all natural foods than eating all the processed foods that I was eating before. I am really glad to be able to read a label knowing what is in my food than seeing weird names, seeing artificially flavored/sweeten or those food dye codes.
Sooooo looking forward in getting back to the city life….
A lot is going on in 2009 so far and can’t wait to see what the rest of 2009 will bring.
