Reading, wine and friend therapy

Saturday’s MBA Seminar spurred a ton of interest in new reading material. I already have about 10 books staring at me telling me to finish them. Some of them are brain candy while some are appropo to career development. In case you are interested they are, as I’m sure you will recognize some:
So, with that I’ve written down more books to add to my reading list,
Well, I think that is all I can muster right now. Of course there are a number of other “brain candy” fiction novels out there I would love to read, but if I can get a good handle on business strategy I can make my MBA actually work for me.
WINE
Met with previous work colleagues for happy hour at Dessert Noir. Which happens to be owned by an employee of my prior employer. Crazy. It was fabulously priced with both drinks, wine and cheap food. The house wine was a Merlot and it was discounted and fabulous. Couldn’t complain.
Learned more about the challenges and heartaches at “work” for my girls and my heart went out to them. It was great fun though celebrating my new career adventure, celebrating one friend’s big 40 and the other’s big “divorce” which is a journey I certainly wouldn’t ever go through. It’s hard to believe my parents chose that journey 3 times in their life or actually twice for mom and 3 times for dad.
I’m just so pleased that without going to work and seeing these magnificent people every-day we’ve still made efforts to keep in touch and get together periodically and support each other. That’s what I’ve appreciated most in working is building friendships to last longer and become stronger without the “work” connection.
I’m truly fortunate.

Your killing me with the French diet book. You have no need for it. You live that way anyways!
Yeah, ummm thanks, but seriously unemployment has added a new layer of me that I’m not too fond of. I gotta shimmy extra just to get my jeans on!
Thanks, though!
