That's Life/ This is the Life (expression)

that's life: an expression of one's acceptance of a situation, however difficult : we'll miss each other, but still, that's life.
this is the life: an expression of contentment with one's present circumstances : Ice cubes clinked in crystal glasses. “This is the life,” she said.

Greetings fellow travelers!

I know its been a little while since I last posted but lots of things are happening in my life that have kept me busy and I am super excited to share them with you:

1) I started working full time: This has so far been an OK experience.   All I've done so far and all I will do until next Friday is sit in a classroom and listen to orientation briefings.  BORING but...also helpful I suppose (she said very begrudgingly).  I am just dying to get to my real office and start real stuff!  Enough of these silly classes and ice breaker exercises...  But anyways, my days are now much fuller than they used to be so I'm trying to figure out how to fit in everything I want to do.

2) I am house and dog sitting for a friend of mine who lives down the street from my parents!  Her dogs are so sweet and happy all the time, I love them.  They are also very well trained which is wonderful- makes it so much easier!

3) I have started planning a new vintage style wardrobe that will soon be made by my very own amazingly talented seamstress of a grandmother!  It began with a pair of shoes (blue with white polka dots and red accent vintage style peep toes by Steve Madden for $7.50 at the thrift store to be precise) and then blossomed into a desire to have an adorable 50's/60's style dress will full swing skirt to match them!  Thus that is the goal and I am currently searching thru patterns and fabric options to get the ball rolling.

4) This is not something that has been consuming a lot of my time lately but I just wanted to share a friend of mine's wonderful blog, Long City Walks and Bright Lights.  My amazingly talented musician friend Kayte Grace is the author and she blogs about the life of a single girl living and playing music in the fabulous NY.  Check it out, she's amazing :)

So that's my life for now- busy but happy, especially from this wonderful beautiful weather!  Hope all is well with you!
