Updates Early August

Hello, Hola, Previet, Was ist los? That should cover the opening for everyone, lol.
Just wanted to let you al know a few things have been changing around here. Most of you know I have been doing a lot of job searching, had a bunch of nibbles, some online and phone interviews, but no face-to-faces and no solid job offers yet. I also left the Sales department with GEICO as I could not stomach some of the practices that went on there, and could not continue to respect myself AND do that job. So, starting this week I am now in the Internet division for GEICO. My new hours will be 1330-0000hrs Wed-Sat, which means I am off Sun-Tues now. This can be seen as both good and bad, but I'm preferring to see it in th light that I now have more consecutive time to work on writing and on myself.
About that last, some of you know I have been working with a 22yr old to get them ready to enter the Marines basic training later in August. Hell, some of you I worked out with for similar reasons before :). That being said, I'm now a bit older, and...doughy than I had been before, and that has been brought to my attention in no uncertain way while I was coaching this future Marine into shape. Ergo, I've committed myself to getting back into "trim" as they say, and bringing myself back to the 4.5% body fat i was at while in ROTC myself. I know just how rough it is going to be, and my body is letting me know it does not appreciate the extra effort, but I've committed myself to get back there by the time I turn 33. Realistic? Maybe not. But you all know me...I'm like a damn bulldog once I sink my teeth into something. So, in addition to the biking, I'm back at the batting cages (Bre knows how I roll there, lol...oh, and we WILL be putting on a display when we meet up again, JCB), hitting the streets running, and working more weights for tone. I know what a few of you are thinking...But Bri, you're not fat! True...not yet..but the spare tire was expanding and I was about to have to increase pant size again...and..I could just FEEL out of shape. Many of you are athletes or former athletes...so you know what I mean. You also know how rough it is for a person that was once in great shape to get it back. It is worse than if you had never been in shape before. That covers that.
As for trips, I'm going to be in New England the first few days, 11 to be precise, of October, and plan to spend some of it in NYC, that portion is still awaiting confirmation. I might be driving that trip, so Shawn, you might want to keep your ears open ;)
One trip I WON'T be driving to is Ohio in late August. I plan to fly for that one. It's looking like 23-26 August on that one. I still need to hammer out details with Chris, Perry and possibly Sharon on that.
Also, I still want to hit San Antonio this year, but we will see on that one.
Anyways, that's my update for now.
Hope all is well, and hope to hear from you.
I Love and Miss all of you.
