UPDATES, UPDATES, UPDATES (a.ka. it's all about me!!)

Ok...lots of changes going on in my life and lots to update....so lets' get rolling

I'm switching jobs. My dream job is to open my own agency working with children with autism. Someone who runs an agency offered me a job helping to run her company so as of June 4, I will be the Associate Supervisor of Autism Services for her company (or some title like that we're still working the actual title out). I am going to working with families, their kids, hiring and supervising staff, writing evaluations and whatever the heck else comes up with these kids. I am going to be in charge of four to five counties. I'm really excited and really nervous. It's a huge step for me and I'm really hoping I can handle it. It's scary, she didn't talk to anyone else about this position, just me and it was really just to see if she can afford me. That's a lot of pressure to be under.
On a sad note that means I'm leaving my current job and especially my team, who I absolutely adore. I am totally going to miss all of our antics, laughs and everything else. But May 25 will be my last day ...sniff-sniff!!
So May 25, June 4 you may be wondering what's going on during the days in between (ok...just a week but still). On Sunday May 27, I will be going on a cruise with Toyota Guy. Scary isn't it? We are going to be leaving out of Baltimore on Sunday, Monday we'll be at Sea, Tuesday we arrive in Bermuda at 7am (dont' know what we're doing during the day...hopefully snorkling...but that night we are going on a 10pm glass bottom boat cruise through the bermuda triangle). Wednesday we're in Bermuda (again not a clue what we're doing...again voting for snorkling...can you tell I love it) and then the ship leave at 5pm...thursday we're at sea and Friday we get back home to BAltimore. It's been very stressful planning this with TG but we're finally planned.
This is kind of huge for me. A vacation with a boy...eek. He keeps joking about what we're going to do if we break up before then....We decided on still go on the cruise and seperate the beds!!! Plus that way I get to spend the whole days at sea laying at the pool, instead of being busy with TG. He's not a lay out in the sun for 10 hours kind of guy so i'm actually going to have to be a little productive those days at sea. Actually the only productive promise I made is that if they have a tour of the engine room, I would tour it with him. (kind of a yawn for me...but I guess I don't want to burn, right???)
Another scary relationship point of interest, especially for those of you have been reading my blog for a while, it's going to be over a year since I've been participating in on-line dating hell. On April 28th, TG and I have been dating a year. You remember this post don't ya: http://whatshappeningnext.blogspot.com/2006_04_01_archive.html (TWO DATES, WHAT'S A GIRL TO DO) It's kind of funny to read back through the blogs for the year of this relationship (dang I used the R word ---i really need to wash my mouth out with soap for using such profanity

So you want more updates --------On May 1, my little brother is going to be moving in with me for a couple of months. His lease expires and his life is pretty much up in the air so he's going to move in with me. Plus side is that he's paying rent by cleaning my house. I had a fight with the owner of my local Merry Maids and fired them. My brother is kind of a clean freak (which I am NOT, not even close) so he's going to pay rent by cleaning my house, including carpet cleaning and windows!!) Plus he'll be a built-in pet sitter for my cruise and any other craziness that comes up with my schedule. Hopefully we won't kill eachother!!

I think that's everything. I can't think of anything else that is up. Hope everything is going well with you!!
