hi all, molly here, basically just FREAKING OUT because a good thing has come to this girl who waited. and waited. then took a break from waiting, and waited some more. i moved to austin after accepting a job i liked, but didn't love. i found out last week that the right job has found its way to me- i've been hired as a marketing coordinator, which is something i have wanted for a very long time. weee! i start tomorrow and i'm nervous, excited, etc. yeh know. all those things.

i had a five day break in between my old and new jobs (including the weekend). my five day summer has been filled with some crazy fun times. i'll always have the fond memories of waiting for the plumber to come figure out why our toilets weren't flushing. oh...and i can't forget getting my state inspection. such a special time. also, there were the errands. oh, errands and i got so close over the last five days. and of course there's me and my girl elliptical. so far we've hung out every day this week! which is my subtle way of saying that i'm completely up to date with training and i am loving it! i've even had a couple days recently where i don't want to stop running. that's new and different.

but it hasn't all been errands and gym-ing. there's also been happy hours, boat times on lake travis, and hanging with kitty. photographic evidence below. 

 i love when i have time to make breakfast. these are corn cakes. litchrully could do a whole post on these suckers. they are pancakes made with cornbread batter, and topped with apple butter. like pancakes? like cornbread? if you answered yes to both of these questions, congratulations- you have a beating human heart. also, you'll like these. i grew up eating these and let's just say they made a lasting impression. the recipe can be found on the side of the Jiffy cornbread mix box.

so, i'm a week behind schedule, but i'm here to say i completed my first week of training and i'm one day into week two. first week was not bad, minus going to the gym on sunday. that was a miracle. my roommate can attest to that. sundays are our day to respect the day of rest. typically there is some laughably bad television, some playing with the kitten, and some laundry so i can feel like a contributing citizen. but...going...in public? venturing into the free world? that is the road less travelled for she and i. training on sunday will be part of my schedule for at least the next twelve weeks, so i hope the world is ready to hang out with me on a day usually reserved to sclathe around.

in other news, our kickball team went to the championship game, our nation had a birthday, and austin is still the best place on the planet.
