IT'S A BLUR

Saturday, May 26, 2007

Ohmygosh it's MAY 26!!! What the heck happened to this month??? All right, you guys are due a BIG update. It's not going to make a lot of chronological sense because I really don't know what happened in what order anymore.

Sarah and I went to surf camp with the Girl Scouts. (see separate post)

We also went to a puberty seminar (yes indeedy, friends). (see separate post)

Don got a J-O-B and started Monday! He is working part time for a company called Education Systems -- I will give you a guess at what they do, I know it might be hard to tell from the name. He's a software developer for them. Many of their employees are 100% virtual... so over time, he can do his job from the house. But if he has to go in, they're just down in La Jolla, so it's not too bad.

He also had his colonoscopy finally (see June 6, 2006 post) -- he was so loopy from the anaesthetic that I practically had to club him over the head on the drive home. Everything's fine now (back to usual level of loopiness).

We pitched 10,000 new accounts. Well not that many, but still, a lot. We shoo'd Chiat Day (of Apple and adidas advertising fame) off of our TaylorMade account for good. Press articles are up huge. And we hired a bunch of people and are interviewing a bunch more, we had a couple people QUIT (idiots), we have lease issues... partner issues... client contract negotiations... got fired by the Mile of Cars (and there was much rejoicing). And my office fish died.

Went to Becca's spring recital - where the teachers had the kids singing songs from "Annie". It's really superweird to hear Becca have to sing lyrics like "no one cares for you a smidge/when you're in an orphanage!"

Little Orphan Becca: why am I not amused?

Had a visit from my Aunt Nancy - Becca is a huge fan now. Went to a bunch of social events and parties, some for work and some not - no more wine on weeknights for me and that is ALL I am going to say about it.

Saw a psychiatrist about my fixation on my retainer. (see separate post)

Sarah had a major fight with her best friend... I have yet to sort it all through...

Hopefully next month will be a little more sane!
