Surprise Surprise

by Matt on April 2, 2012

Whew! Today was a whirlwind!

Although today was absolutely crazy, it was definitely one of the best days that I’ve had in quite awhile. I received news that I was promoted to a new position at work, which I knew was coming in the near future, but I didn’t expect it this soon. When the vice president told me the good news, I wanted to jump in the air because I was so excited.

Please note that I didn’t actually do this. I wanted to, but I showed some self control.

The rest of the day was spent getting the lay of the land. Although my schedule isn’t really changing, I’ll be working with a whole new set of people and a new supervisor, who is actually the one that hired me. My job will have the same focus, but I will be taking on new responsibilities that I had to do a few hours of training for. I’m extremely nervous to start my new position tomorrow, but but I’m excited at the same time.

OK, let’s move on to a few other things that have been happening in my world…

I made a really really really good grilled cheese last night. I think this might be the best one to date!

A good grilled cheese has always been one of my favorite meals. It’s quick, easy to make, and the combinations are endless. Last night, I went with a simple combination of 100% whole wheat bread and one of my favorite cheeses.

Kerrygold Dubliner with Irish Stout. Just do it.

My running has also been going really well lately.

I went through a slight running slump the past month or so, but my love for it has finally rekindled. I kept up with it because I felt like I had to, but the motivation and passion just wasn’t there. I probably needed a little break from it, but I’m really stubborn. Well, I’m back to my old self again just in time! The weather has been gorgeous!

I want to get back to blogging more like I used to.

I’m not going to commit to posting every day, but I’m going to make an attempt to get back in the swing of things. The truth is, blogging has felt like a chore the past few months. I think I just had so many other things going on that I put it on the back burner. I blogging, so I’m going to attempt to put some more time into it. I’m not committing to anything, but I’ll try my best!

And I think it’s time to start unwinding for the night. I’m beat!

Congrats, Matt! That’s wonderful news. And I agree – grilled cheese never gets old. We have a nice whiskey cheese at home I might need to use!
