Goals!

A new goal - running a 5K on April 22. :-) We ran a local 5K last fall, and had a great deal of fun doing so... and since we can't really do martial arts now, we've taken up running as the best way to stay in shape. It'll take some adjusting - but the 5Ks should help motivate us!

Here's the race info: April 22 Race.

Bunnies!

So there I was, sitting in a cab on the Expressway, coming home on Friday night after a long day at work. I look over at the grassy expanses that cover the sides of the on/off ramps, and see something moving. I tell myself, probably a rat. (After all, this is the middle of the city, and on the side of the Expressway, no less.)

But I took a closer look (since we were sitting in traffic anyway) - and they were bunnies! There were 6-10 rabbits munching their way along the grass, totally unconcerned with the cars and trucks making their way along beside them.

It was cool. :-)

Little Things

Ok, so it's been a very busy week-plus since I last blogged... I'm happy because they're giving me more responsibility at work, but that also means more time-demands (at least sometimes).

This weekend was also our firm's annual meeting - interesting to hear how the firm is doing financially, what our goals (financial and otherwise) are for the coming year, and brief overviews of the different practice groups. Some of the more senior attorneys had a panel on business development, too, which was interesting and potentially useful.

Since time-demands are getting higher, we caved in and got a housecleaner. Currently, she's coming every other week, but after seeing what a great job she did this week, I suspect we'll go to every week (things we didn't even realize were dirty are clean now). The company is MaidPro, and based on our experience so far, I can recommend them! (They also do one-time cleanings, if you're just looking for a fresh start or something...)
