I was so excited this morning for two reasons:
1) I am off of probation! woot woot! (the new employee kind, not the criminal kind)
2) Because I am off of probation, I am going on vacation for a week in 2 weeks!! I'm going to visit friends in Baltimore, Virginia, and DC. I'm going to go back to my old stomping grounds in Baltimore. I haven't been back since I left, and everyday, the anticipation builds. I can't wait to see a city that really did manage to charm me in my 12 months there.

And then my elatedness was shattered by three things:
1) It's Monday, and I have to go back to work after having worked overtime most of the weekend.
2) I have to work overtime tonight.
3) My vacation is not in 2 weeks. It's in 3 weeks.

Yes. Whine whine whine.

Life is not bad at all. I have no complaints. Great weekend including impromptu hang out Friday night with lots of friends, practicing my "juicy voice," lots of eating for New Years, and time with Jessica. I *heart* my sister.

To leave you all with a happy note, one of my favorite photos from the last month:
