Friday fun

On our way to unwind after work today, I spotted this poster on the wall of a building. Obama=Superman!!  I love the neighborhood I work in on the Lower East Side.  It is so "New Yorkie."  Boutiques, restaurants, night life...it has it all.
Aubrey and me with our supervisor (and friend), Jen. 
Me and Jen with my favorite teachers at the high school, Adrienne and Carole.  They are so great!
This is Aubrey.  She and I both go to Columbia and are learning to be rock star therapists together.
Blurry, but happy.
Rachel and I go to Columbia together.  She was kind enough to invite me to share her Birthday with her.  So, after the fun with my coworkers I headed to the Upper West Side.  Adrienne and Carole drove me to the restaurant.  Driving up, I realized that was the first car (other than a cab), I had been in since July of last year.  That is a crazy thing for a California girl!  
Not sure what Bill is doing here...being Bill I guess. 
Make a wish, Rach!
Eric, me, Sandra (Rachel's step-mom), Birthday Girl-Rachel, Melissa and Bill.

Yay for Juicing

Many of you know that I packed on about 25 pounds of pudge during my cancer treatment last year. It was so discouraging as I had already worked so hard to lose about 70 pounds. Stinkin' cancer. Not enough to threaten my life, gotta pack on the pudge too?! When I was home with my family over Christmas my Dear Friend told me about this movie on netflix, "Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead." I can't tell you how much the title resonated with me. The movie touts the benefits of juicing, (not to be confused with steroid use...haha), vegetable juicing. I figured it would be a good idea to try it. I had juiced veggies during chemotherapy at the suggestion of someone who beat Stage 4 Pancreatic Cancer....but honestly, could not stomach the thought of it for awhile after chemo. Fast forward 2 months since I started my "Reboot" and I am down a glorious 25 pounds. First of all, I feel like I have found my secret weapon. Second of all, yes! 25 pounds! Woot woot! ...

Long hair...to be or not to be?

I am reaching out for your opinion. That's right, you! My hair has reached that awkward stage of the grow out...you know the one, girls. When it's not quite long, but not quite short. It's the time when most of us girls will just say, 'ah, forget it...I'm cutting it again.' So I thought I'd show pics of a really cute short cut, and kinda nice long one and ask what you think. This is a recent pic of me with my short hair. Cute, right? This is me not too long before I moved to New York. I think I will have bangs this time though..and more layers because my hair LOVES to curl in the New York humidity. So, take a second and let me know what you think. Should I keep it short, or let it grow out?

I got a J-O-B

Sunshine all around, folks. I got a J-O-B! Yesterday I accepted an offer from NY Foundling, a large social service agency in New York City. I will be in their foster care division in Brooklyn doing case management, court advocacy, investigations and parent/foster care family work. I am very excited! The agency is solid and the position will allow me to use my skills and grow as a professional. So, you guessed it, I am a real live social worker! Finally! Thank you to all of you who cheered for me, prayed for me, and kept me on track when I got discouraged. We did it!
