Tuesday Night Leftovers

Another random post. I’m exhausted so find bullet points lend themselves to my preferred way of communicating. If only I could go around work spouting off bullet point conversations.

- Works going well but has reached the point of there is just way too much to do and I’ve already paired everything down to the stuff that needs to get done and parked the rest, although I’m itching to start on that stuff too. At least I’m getting the lay of the land so am able to make decisions better. Getting there.

- Last night I had the best dinner (at the time) and the worst dinner (at 3 am). It was just one meal - maple cotton candy that I had picked up from the fair up in VT this weekend. I hadn’t meant to eat it before dinner but then I thought, “hey, I’m an adult, if I want to eat dessert first and then dinner, that’s my prerogative”. Unfortunately I stopped at dessert, so come the middle of the night I woke up starving but too tired to fix a meal. Resulting in not such a great night’s sleep last night. Lesson learned? Probably not - maple syrup is my Achilles heel.

- I made it up to the 10th annual Strolling of the Heifers in VT last weekend. It was a ton of fun since I had a bunch of friends join me and sleep over. Dawn and Bill and Ashley had made it up for the day early this year when we were touring the maple bushes, so they had been introduced to my family. We had a blast enjoying the parade and the fair and playing cards all afternoon and cooking and eating and talking about food. Fun for all. Of course there are pictures but not on my camera.

- I’ve been trying to take photos with my camera and it’s just old. I got it back when I was in grad school - almost 10 years ago. I need to shop around for a new one. Do you ever have a day where there is nothing to wear? I just can’t seem to put anything together, but know I have. I figured I’d start photographing some of my better combinations, but they’re coming out crummy. Another thing to put on the list. That, or go back to the iphone - I seemed to take more pics with that camera.

- I’m off to DC for work. Excited to go down and visit that office and have been able to arrange it so that I can meet up with some friends. I think I have a half dozen or so people I know but chose to not over extend myself. I’m visiting a friend I missed when they were up visiting last month and my old college friend Joanne who just had her daughter last month. Should be fun. If only the flight wasn’t so early in the morning!

- So the crush turned into something and then veered quickly into left field. I just don’t get guys. They’re such an enigma sometimes. The funny thing is he’s where I was a year ago so good to see how I’ve progressed. Another good guy friend to add to the list. So, I just erased something specific about him - figure I should keep it vague as you never know who reads these things. Cryptic note to myself - the three Ws. Let’s see if I remember what this means a year from now.

- And finally, I have to share a voicemail message I received this weekend. It was from the parents of my god-son. Apparently the car game I taught Cameron last month when we were coming back from Maine stuck. They’re on the road and he’s making them duck at every overpass they go under. Don’t you love when you can influence young minds?
