h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I'm flatterred to see my name on your space!
Haven't heard from you in a while, hope you're having a good time where ever you may be.
Just dropping in to say hi and wish you a good year.
If you ever pop back in- drop me a reply!
Elly

Hey Elly!

Good to hear from you Well I still pop back in quite often... maintaining Olympus is just such a daunting task I do regret though that I don't lurk nearly as much as I used to.

This past year brought a lot of changes with graduating college and moving to Chicago, but it has been great so far! Hopefully 2006 will bring the same.

So, happy New Year to you and yours

Thank you!
2005 for me brought a lot of beginnings, but they seem to have all been cut short on the way... started a new job, which is getting cut off by Maternity Leave in March '06, decided what I want to study, which started an application process, that was cut in the middle by getting pregnant and having to re-work out all the details, even started going to the gym, which was cut off by said pregnancy. So all in all, I'm waiting for my baby to be born so I can resume.
It's the most awful day of the year today, the rain and wind are melting the snow and frost from last night, and I'm sitting here at work doing nothing (there's nothing to do), after leaving a sick child in the care of his tired father this morning.
What are you up to?

Well, though I don't yet have a baby on the way , we're also getting our share of nasty weather. Of course I never expected it to be nice in Chicago in the winter...

I got a job with a professional training organization, Dale Carnegie, and I spend my time talking with companies and individuals about developing their sales skills, public speaking ability, and a ton of other things. I've really enjoyed it so far, and you can't beat Chicago's nightlife!

Congratulations on the little one

Thanks!
Chicago, it's weird, most people outside the States want to see New York or Washington, I was always interested in Boston and Chicago.
Don't know if I'll ever make it over there....
