This was a really hard first tag so forgive me if it's not that great....
1. I Can't Wait to See you Again - Miley Cyrus. wow, I can't believe I just admitted to that! What can I say, the song is catchy - even if I don't agree with her choice of magazine poses/publicity....
2. Glamorous - Fergie. Again, it's a catchy song. I just can't help but sing along when I'm alone in my car. ( I'd never subject a friend to that!)
3. Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy - Big & Rich. At my wedding, the husband of one of my good friends requested this song. At the time I was furious because it was definitely on my "do not play" list. However, I now think about my wedding and smile any time I hear this song.
4. Girls Just Wanna Have Fun - Cyndi Lauper. Practically required soundtrack for sorority slide shows. Always reminds me of fun times at the sorority house and getting ready to go out with the girls.
5. Devil Went Down to Georgia - Another sorority flashback, there are alternate words that I always sing when I hear this song. It's especially embarrassing when other people are around.
It seems like every blog I read has already done this so if you haven't yet, join in!

busy, busy, busy
So given my lack of posts lately, you may think nothing much has been going on here in Atlanta. Quite the opposite though, here's a quick run-down of the excitement (haha) in our life.
1. I finally got a project at work - I've billed more hours in the past 2 1/2 weeks than I have in the past 2 months. good for my utilization, bad for my sanity
2. It's mid-year review time at work so in addition to working until 10 PM, I also have to re-assess my goals for the year and figure out how to get moving on them before the end of the year.
3. We finally got a contract on our condo in DC!
4. So now I'm frantically trying to coordinate movers, plane tickets, moving supplies, etc.
5. The house hunt is in full swing now since we want to be in a house ASAP.
6. The husband and I joined the UVa alumni kickball team - one more commitment for Saturdays.
7. I ran the Peachtree on July 4th! It was only my second 10K and the weather was MUCH hotter than the previous race. But I survived and came in with a respectable time - and the coveted Peachtree Road Race t-shirt. I feel like a true Atlantan now ;)
8. We spent the rest of the holiday weekend at Lake Lanier with friends. It was a much-needed break filled with jet-skiing, swimming, bbq-ing, playing with the dogs, etc.
9. Friday, the husband and I are headed to Richmond for my grandparent's 65th anniversary! I feel incredibly lucky to have such amazing, healthy, inspiring grandparents. We're also celebrating my mom's birthday with a lovely brunch before we head back Sunday afternoon.
So that's life in a nutshell!
