RANDOM CATCH-UP

Monday, February 04, 2008

So it's been a blur... back to school, illnesses, signing up 2 new clients and interviewing tons of people so we can expand, landscapers... blah.

Had a cyst removed mid-month, among other fun things. Becca is the only one in the family not grossed-out by the stitches, so she's dressing my wounds. A 5 year old is dressing my wounds. So if you hear of me coming down with a staph infection, you'll know why.

Gizmo went in for teeth cleaning a couple weeks ago and now has a swollen eye. I guess when your head is shaped like a lemon, things get moved around/your teeth are too close to your eyes? Dunno. Between the two of us, we look like we are from the Island of Misfit Toys.

Be that as it may, I did manage to drag myself through a 5K - my first! And I only wiped out once during the race (meaning, I tripped over DIRT and fell on my face). Look at these cute moms. Aren't they just so cool? Go moms go.

Everyone other than perhaps Gizmo and me are fine. Sarah has a big report due in a couple weeks and some math tests coming up so she's looking woeful and pitiful and sans entertainment of any type except for pencil sharpening (which can be interesting, I've found, depending on the color of the pencil/shavings are cool).

Don is at an HOA meeting getting in everyone's bidniss. They like him at work and he's billing lots of hours. Good cuz I need patio furniture.

Becca entertained everyone at Temple the other day by welcoming them to the Coffee House. You can see she took her hostess duties quite seriously. One older gentleman asked her, "so what is there to do in the Coffee House?" And she answered, "Well, you can... have a coffee. You can sit. Read something. And you can perhaps use the bathroom, if you need." If you know Becca and can imagine her tone of voice and gesturing about the room, you can imagine how funny this was.

I will post a little later about our adventure at the Whaley House.
