My last day at Perceptive Software was November 10. I start my new job on November 27. I think my new employer would have liked for me to start on November 13, but I really needed this time off to decompress and prepare myself for my upcoming new position.

I’m thrilled to be starting this new job. I can’t wait to get in there, but for the last 2 weeks, I’ve been really enjoying not working.

Since Alli works for herself, she has been able to schedule herself available as well. We’ve had such a blast just hanging out the two of us in the house, getting Starbucks and muffins from our Price Chopper and so many other memories that I have to list some of them here:

• Starbucks and muffins from Price Chopper every day
• Chipotle almost every day
• Our annual Shopping Day
• Our Chiefs Excursion
• Alli punching Clay Aiken at Sam’s
• Seeing Casino Royale and Stranger than Fiction in a span of less than 24 hours
• Our Netflix trial and seeing Roman Holiday for the first time
• Watching Today, Regis & Kelly, The View, and The Megan Mullaly show. Seriously.
• Talking ourselves out of spending $3,000 at Nebraska Furniture Mart
• Seeing Tim Gunn and Angela Keslar from Season 3 of Project Runway at the Leawood, KS Macy’s
• Meeting little Stella Anne less than 24 hours after she was born…you guys make good-looking kids, K&S
• Naps
• Interviewing a new member of my new team
• Snuggling with the dog
• Spending Thanksgiving (and Ashley and Tom’s birthdays) with Alli’s family
• Late night text-messaging with Jake
• SUGAR COOKIES
• The onset of Christmas music, including our newest Christmas CD, Wintersong
• Finishing 2 books (Review of Fletch Reflected coming soon)
• The Chiefs beating Denver on Thanksgiving
• Staying up late by myself to watch the KU-Florida game go into overtime and have KU win
• Returning home
• Relaxing
• Spending 2 weeks with my best friend

Some of that might mean nothing to you readers, but it has meant the world to me. I’ll try to be a more prolific poster, but with the new job starting, we’ll see.
