is there a pause button on this divice?

The feet are up, the sweets are on and the TV on mute. I finally am making time for myself and relaxing a bit before the week gets as busy as it consistently has been since the beginning of the year.
After the new year coming back to Baltimore only meant one thing, time to get down to business. With a set of construction documents on their way out there door i knew that a life outside of work we fading into the distance. The looming deadline for my project seems to be dangling in front of my face just as a fox tale would taunt a pack of greyhound dogs. Just as it seems to be getting closer and closer the date gets moved or more gets added. Each additional change means that i will be spending a little more of my weekend at the office as opposed to Ikea.
I think the only thing that is happy about making money instead of spending it is my credit card bill.

Somehow i have managed to squeeze a bit of fun in now and again! Most recently I headed out west to visit a most beloved friend in Colorado. I couldn't stand it anymore 9 months without seeing my friend Mackenzie was way to much! I boarded a southwest flight at 6:15 and was in Denver by 10! It didn't take long to realize how much i had missed this lady, life just wasn't the same without her! We had so much fun traipsing through Denver with her little puggle Mia! We saw much of what Denver had to offer by day, museums, shops, great architecture, and partied it up at night, liven the night life with a few of the other K-Staters about town! We ever made it out tot he mountains, and hiked around the red rocks amphitheater! The temperature was in the upper forties but i was sweating! The sun was warm and bright and the air was crisp as clear. Standing at the top of the amphitheater you could look out in the distance and see Denver just pop up out of nowhere. Sunday evening came too soon and it wasn't to long before i had to wave good by and board my non stop back to the charm city.

But now it's monday and i find myself preparing for the week ahead which includes my six month review. I can't belive that six months have come and gone so quickly. So finally i will take the time to reflect on the time that i have been at the firm and give deep tought to what my goals are for this up coming year and hopefully look back at what i have accomplished and be proud of the contributions i have made.... no is time for pen to hit the paper and to think important thinks... as dr. seuss would say
