New Gig

So I got back from my S.E. Asia trip and not 24 hours later was already on a flight out to Washington DC to start my new job... I'll be working from home for the most part, as the company is based in Toronto, but there will be a decent amount of travel to conferences, to the head office, and to meet with companies that we are looking at investing in.  I suspect I'll be racking up some airline points! horrah!

I'm still figuring out what the job is and how it all works, which I guess is the exciting part of a new job? The control freak in me is unhappy as I fee very out of control... but this is an amazing opportunity so I've just got to tuck my chin and get on with things.

The hard part is how I've continued to be MIA in terms of my friends and family.. I miss you all!! Once things settle in I'm hoping to return to 'normal' life and start seeing people again! In a perfect world I'll even start taking exercise classes or something! what the!?

Anyway, this post is to let people know I am alive and hunkered down.

hugs!

Forgot to post!

I have to admit, I forgot about posting here on my trip! I was so busy, and just sending notes home and backup my photos took what little free time I had.

Suffice to say, it's been a great trip. I can't imagine going away to such a different part of the world not being interesting. I am tired of rice and noodles, and of really really hot weather and being gross and sweaty! But I have loved seeing new cultures and ways of life and learning so much!

So here are some pics, and more may come!
