Today I shout out to my co-worker-now-friend Kaitlin who makes my day on a regular basis. One of the many things that rock about Kaitlin is that whenever she walks in the room her face lights up as though you just told her some amazing news or that she's seeing you dressed in a wedding gown for the first time. This exalted expression is generally followed by a "Hi how ARE you?!". Her enthusiasm is totally contagious (in a not annoying or fake way) and always turns my frown upside down.
For Kaitlin her friendliness is a pretty key skill since she in one of the counselors on our intervention project. We could have the grumpiest of disgruntled students and basically two minutes after meeting Kaitlin they're totally at ease. She's training to be a School Counselor and I'm confident she's going to kick butt at that - if she's half as fun as she is in our college office, I'm sure younger kids adore her. She also has an air of calm confident I appreciate since I'm super-duper-anxious most of the time. I can be totally freaking out about my to-do list and she'll just say "let's break it down - we've got this" and poof! It's all good... Kaitlin also manages to appreciate the finer things in life, like classy clothes and fine food with out being one bit pretentious which I think is super cool. I can hear her voice in my head when I talk about pastry or cheese saying "oh my GOD isn't it SOOO good?!" as though she died and went to heaven thinking about soup.
Finally, she went with me to my first ever UConn basketball game (which I admit with embarrassment should have happened like 10 years ago) and it was awesome. :) *high five*
