Wow.. I'm lazy

You know... it's been a very very long time since I've written anything here. It's not that I've had nothing to say, I think it's more due to my inability to find words and lazyness. Mostly the latter.

So what has happened? Well, Dragon*Con last year was a blast, and I can't wait to go again. I got a kilt, which I find very comfortable. Too bad I can't find more social events to wear it to.

Work has been going rather well. Stressful to say the least. This is the most demanding job I have ever had, and I think the difficulty is only going to continue pressing harder. I wouldn't want it any other way though. I'm working on making the transformation into management, which is a very tough if you want to do it right. My first year at work has dramatically changed my outlook on the concept of project management. At least I feel like I have new goals.

At the end of 06, I managed to recruit a former coworker of mine over to where I'm at. She's a great fit and complements the team well. There are a few others I would love to bring in, but I feel the chances of the cards falling correctly for it are slim to nil.

I went back to Colorado over Christmas. It was as beautiful as ever out there. And if you have never been in a hot air balloon, it's an experience you won't soon forget - absolutely breathtaking.

I spent the last day of 06 with friends enjoying a bit too much to drink. I think that's the way things were meant to be, so I'm happy about it. Looking back on the full year, 2006 was very stressful and challenging, but it was probably the most rewarding year of my life. I learned a lot and made so many close friends.

The most recent event in my life was the removal of my wisdom teeth. It's been very long overdue, and if I had it done several years ago it wouldn't have been nearly so painful. But it's just a dull ache right now, and it will subside in the comming days.

I need to get in shape. I say that so much, but it just doesn't happen. I don't know who reads this, but I'm going to ask for some advice here... how do you maintain dicipline? It seems like such a simple concept, but I get very lax very quickly. So I'm just looking for some pointers. Thanks in advance.

Long story short... I'm back :)
