TODAY IS MY FIRST DAY OF WORK AT MY NEW JOB!!!!!
I can’t believe it. A new firm. A new office. A new dress. New coworkers. It’s crazy.
Anyway, in honor of my first day back in the working world, I thought I would recap the very best week of funemployment ever….
Monday. I was crazy productive on my first day off. I ran ALL the house errands (including 3 Home Goods stores, Target, Lowes, Home Depot, UPS, Goodwill, the list goes on…), scored a few pairs of my favorite work pants on sale at Loft, supervised the tile guy finishing our bathroom floor, rearranged the kitchen drawers (for the third time) and busted open a sentimental bottle of wine — gifted by my sweet friend McKinsey.
Tuesday. I dusted off some gift cards for an afternoon at the spa at The Ritz. For my 30th birthday my girlfriends surprised me with a massage and my former boss (still feels weird to say that) previously gifted me a pedicure too. I had been wanting to redeem these two services together to spend a day at the spa, but it’s so hard to find the time as a working mama! I hate being away from my kiddos during our time together on the weekend so these have been sitting in a drawer forever. Anyway, the spa was everything and more I could possibly have dreamed of. I received a relaxing massage, the perfect pink pedicure, a crisp glass of champagne, sat by the pool with a skyline view (which ironically looked straight into my NEW office!) and enjoyed a 16 shower head shower before coming back to reality.
Wednesday. Date night at our favorite fancy restaurant, Fig Tree! We love celebrating special occasions at Fig Tree (see: birthday & baby) and a new house and new job was definitely a solid reason to return for a yummy dinner. This was our favorite visit yet. We started with veal carpaccio, salads and Matt got the ostrich and I got the filet. We loved it all. Then we polished off our last cocktails with the most incredible beignets!
Thursday. By Thursday I officially never wanted to return to the workforce ever again. But also keep my kids in daycare full time. How do I get there? Ha! Anyway, I hosted some of my very best friends over for lunch and a home tour. For lunch I whipped up a delicious summer salad and thawed some cheesecake bites for dessert. I even broke out my fancy bottle of rose` for the occasion! If only lunch could be that fun every day! A little later I picked up the babies from school a few hours early and met back up with the mamas for a play date!
Friday. It was my last day of “vacation” so I made sure to get up bright and early to maximize the day! Off I went to run a bunch of last errands, grabbed a pretty new work dress (40% off), got my car serviced, cashed in a massage that Matt got me for Christmas, met my bestie Laura for lunch at Cabo Fish Taco and ended the day at a neighborhood happy hour that our street threw to welcome us!
And now it’s truly back to reality…
