And now for some good news…

2014 has been pretty rough so far around our house — and we’re only 30 days in!

RSV and sinus infections to start the year off, leaking pipe and flooding in our master bedroom, broken mirror and a few other personal things we may share later on…

But this week I got some pretty good news.

1. After my annual physical, my doctor reported all my cholesterol levels were great for the first time since I started seeing him. I’m going to attribute that to DDP Yoga and eating a lot less meat (both of which I need to do even more of).

2. And then there’s this:

employee-of-the-year

I found out several weeks ago that I was nominated for PSS Employee of the Year in our building and today the email went out that I was the winner. I was a bit surprised but I’ll be honest – it does feel really good to be appreciated by your colleagues. Our team was also nominated for a few other awards so my fingers are still crossed that they’ll be awarded as well for their hard work.

So maybe things are looking up.

How has your 2014 been so far?

Things you don’t normally see at St. Arbucks

Things you don’t normally see at St. Arbucks – GWP bus tour wifi network. George W’s nephew is running for land commissioner and his campaign made a stop at the Rockwall Starbucks. Looks like they’re sporting a pretty decent wifi network on the bus.

U2 joins Fallon for his Tonight Show debut

I think I may tune in…

Rolling Stone Magazine reports:

Jimmy Fallon is starting his new gig off with a bang: U2 will be the talk show host’s first musical guests when he takes over The Tonight Show from Jay Leno next month. Fallon’s music booker, Jonathan Cohen, announced the news on Twitter Sunday evening.

I’m a fan of Fallon to begin with but I’ll actually find it hard to pick between him, Kimmel and Letterman now when I’m up watching the late night talk shows. It was so much easier when I could just watch Fallon and now worry about anything else on. 🙂

It’ll be interesting to see how the competition plays out now and if the late night talk shows still have the staying power they once did (beyond folks like me who often prefer to watch clips online the following day). Either way, Fallon is off to a great start.

Who’s your favorite late night host?
