dddora the explorerrrr


i can't begin to tell you how busy i am. i tried scheduling dinner plans with an old childhood friend, and i felt like such an asshole because bascially i was like i'm only available next weds... and then i had to cancel other plans that weds so i could go to dinner with her... um WHAT? when did i get this busy??? can we flashback a few months ago when i did nothing? yup.

i went to visit meaders this weekend. it was one of the best philadelphia trips i have ever had. and we didn't even do that much. miss meaders, i had my 100 grand at work today. and it was glorious. i love you times a 100 grand...

today i kind of had this breakthrough at work. for the first time in the 5 months that i had been there, i finally felt like i am settled in. i was sitting in a meeting this afternoon, and thought about how lost i was 5 months ago. and it finally clicked that i finally get it, and i am a part of this. i think i made a really good career move, and today supported that.

so there is this teeny tiny shoe repair store across from my favorite restaurant in my neighborhood (see the picture). it sits between two rather large buildings, and looks so little and scared compared to the bigger buildings next to it. everytime i eat outside at my fav restaurant (which is often as the hostess now remembers me), i love to stare at the little shoe repair and think how it reminds me of me... a little person stuck in a huge huge city. but like the little shoe repair, i manage to survive. and it gets better with each passing day... remind me to show you the shoe repair when you come to visit me...
