My last week of leisure. For quite a while I’ve been spending my days going to the gym, lunching, exploring neighborhoods, working on Chicagoist, going to museums, cooking, hanging out in coffee shops with wifi access: taking it easy. Today I’m going out to Virginia/DC to visit Kelly, Jeff and Tessa. Kelly is my fellow “woman of leisure” right now while she’s on maternity leave.

Next week my current lifestyle is going to change bigtime when I start my new job at FeedBurner. I think it’s right about time. It will be good to be productive again and I’m really excited to be a part of such an exciting company. I know there’s a lot to learn and I have a lot to contribute as the position will be a little writing, a little design, a little front-end development and in the blogging industry – it’s like a perfect blend of everything I’ve been doing in the past 6 years. And everyone I’ve met there seems really terrific. Seems to be a really great team and a great environment. I’m psyched!
