The big news that I had to report, but barely could contain myself about last night: I have a new job. I gave my 2 weeks notice today. I wanted to give a month, but the new payroll system wouldn’t allow it. Two weeks is all I can give.

I am leaving the world of print behind. I am shifting from being a graphic designer with a heavy print emphasis to a website manager, virtually no print what-so-ever. I haven’t forsaken my first master, but I am give him a little bit of a break, seeing what I can do with this new fangled Internets and getting a much needed break from the world of ink on paper.

I am leaving behind Christopher Newport University after 3 great years. I have gathered a large collection of invaluable colleagues and good friends. I hesitated before accepting, thinking about how “different” it would be starting that whole process over again. The thing that I had to remember was that I’m not losing the people I know, I’m just going to be a little more removed.

So begins the two week count down

I have some really big news, but I can’t talk about it until tomorrow around noon. I just wanted to let you, kind reader, that I am here and that I will be posting tomorrow.

OMG! This weekend was most excellent.

Esther and I started and completed the 65 mile Tour de Cure, which turned out to be more like the 70 mile Tour de Cure. After we rocked the road, we called our friends and ended spending the evening at Busch Gardens. I really wanted to get a Turkey Legs, but Esther kept guilting me out of it.

This week starts Meatfest 2007. You are probably wondering “What is this great new commemorative week?”

Well, in preparation for the Benoit clan going vegetarian, we are on a tear to finish consuming the meat that we have in the freezer. For the next 8 days, it’s all meat all the time, although we had a vegetarian chili for dinner tonight. Hmm.

Wii-tarded. Finally getting back to the title of the post. This morning, I was checking out the normal feeds and Gizmodo was reporting a massive influx of Wii’s today. I said to Esther “Goodness gracious. We should see if we could get one.” We got ready for the day and drove over to Circuit City. After standing in line for 30 minutes, we swiped the the credit card and walked out proud owners of a fresh Wii. So now, Esther and I are Wii-tarded. We spent a good portion of the afternoon playing Wii Sports and let me tell you: if you haven’t played with one, it is awesome! I am very happy with our investment. Now a certain boxing match is call me, so please excuse me.

I have been a bad blogger. I have been a horrible blogger. I have been very lax on posting regularly. Life has been coming very fast and furious and I have barely had a chance to clear my inboxes every night let alone blog. I was in charge of a three day photoshoot last week and then Friday was a total bust due to an off campus interview. I have been missing my Haiku Tuesdays and my other regular postings. For that I am sorry. I promise that after today, I will be back with a vengeance.
