Mon Ami?

After the joyous reunion between my bed and I last month, I swore I would never leave it for an extended period of time again!  Unfortunately, I should learn to not make such idle promises...for you see, my bed and are are going to be separated again very soon.

See....I'm going to try out a couple other beds between the end of this month and the middle of October.  Foreign beds.  Swiss beds.  And French beds.  In Switzerland.  And...France.

Yep.  It's that time again!  This Classy Broad is going abroad!  Again.

When I took French in high school, I never actually thought I would ever go to France.  Sure there was the fleeting thought as we sat in our desks learning how to ask for directions to the library and the pool, but as far as serious thinking went, not so much.

But here I am.  Counting down the weeks until I board my flight across the pond.  And while I may not be able to converse with the natives, I will at least know how to say...

"Comment puis-je rendre à la bibliothèque et la piscine"



Just in case I want to read a book...next to the pool, that is.

Another recap...

I've been told by a number of people that my blog needs updating...

Why anyone would get sick of looking at the glorious post about being done with economics for the last month is completely beyond me, but apparently it is so.

Anyway...quite a bit has happened within the last month or so, so in true Lisa fashion, we're going to do a recap!  Aren't you excited?  Well...you should be.

So...last time we met, I was sleeping on the Buie's couch in Salt Lake, going into the office every day, dating a nice guy and planning some pretty fun trips to the theatre.  Well, I am currently residing at home (my bed missed me, and I missed it...we will try to never part again!  Actually not...but that will come later), only going into the office a couple days a week, no longer dating the guy, BUT...I DID go to the theatre!

Kelly and I took a trip down to Cedar City where we saw Les Miserables as part of the Utah Shakespearean Festival.  The production was fantastic!  Aside from Jean Valjean being slightly more angry throughout the course of the entire play, it was incredible!  Did I mention that Kelly and I also have tickets to see Les Miserables again THIS month?  Yeah...we do.  We'll be driving up to Boise in 3 weeks to see it.  Pretty stoked!

There was some craziness at work at the beginning of August that involved my boss leaving her position.  Everyone got a little tense and things got a little hairy there for a while as we tried to figure out what was going to ultimately happen with our department, but things have since worked out, and we are settling into a state of normalcy again (complete with me training 2 new hires for my team).

I have been procrastinating my school work since I finished economics.  My final class has 5 assignments associated with it, and as of yesterday, I only had 2 1/2 of them completed.  I KNOW!  I have about 20 days to get everything else done (which may seem like a lot to you, but Quantitative Analysis for Business isn't a cake-walk for all of us....and some of us are lazy to boot!).
