I’m baaaaaaack

Back at work after a blog hiatus. Sorry ’bout that…just needed some time in front of the daughter, not the computer, you know? Completely blissed out on four days of Zoe Time. We had so much fun. She’s really growing a lot now, and not just physically. Since she’s been self-feeding, we’ve noticed her fine motor skills have improved quite a bit. She can do things she used to not be able to manage, such as putting the rings back on her stacker, and the gears back on their posts on her engineery-gear toy that Aunt Margaret gave her. She’s on the verge of walking on her own, too. Still no sippy cup, though.

I’m thankful for calendars, too

Today is Wednesday, but feels kinda like Friday because we’re off tomorrow for Thanksgiving, which will make tomorrow feel like Saturday and Friday feel like Sunday, so Saturday will be very messed up because I’ll feel like it’s Monday when really I have two more days til I have to go back to work. That’ll make next Monday feel very odd, coming back in after so many days off, so perhaps it’ll feel like a Tuesday or even a Thursday.

Market this

It really stinks when your bad mood coincides with the monthly management meeting. “Here’s your &^%$# marketing report.”

Sippy Cup Update

Since everyone is hanging on the edge of their seats, waiting for that first fateful sip from the sippy cup, I thought I’d let you all know…it hasn’t happened yet.

The countdown has started

It’s official now. We’ve invited the fam, all three actually, to come over to our house for the 2006 Grand Lighting. Actually, M’s prep work for it is much more rigorous than mine at this point. We’ve done the party so many times now that we’ve pretty much got it down. With the basement being already set up, we just throw some decorations about, stock the bar and call it a night. Rule of thumb: if you get everyone all good and liquored up, then your party is sure to be a hit.

At-Bat Songs

I think it’s interesting how the great big ol’ World Wide Web is out there and yet I can’t find the at-bat songs for the 2006 World Championship Cardinals. Doesn’t seem like too much to ask, does it? These guys come up to the plate all season long, usually (hopefully) multiple times in a game, and they always have the same song play for them when they come up. It’s just a snippet, because they’re to the plate and digging in before you know it, and heaven knows we can’t be disrupting Clemens or Pinetar Rogers or whomever is psyching themselves up on the mound to hurl against our sluggers.

Recommendation

I’m a firm believer in word-of-mouth. I think it can be used to spread good information about businesses…whether that business deserves your patronage or whether it does not.

I like to share information with my loved ones and business associates, so they don’t have to go through the same trial and error I have. For instance, I have my favorite printer, designer and Web developer. I take them with me from job to job, and I recommend them unequivocally to anyone. I know the best camera store in St. Louis (Schiller’s), a great place to get petit fours (Clayton’s Bakery), and a great place for catering (Amighetti’s in Rock Hill). These are places that never let me down, who are wonderful to work with, and who don’t rip me off.

Decaf. For a reason.

I hate it when I go to Starbucks with my coupon for a free drink and I order my decaf grande non-fat no-whip extra-hot mocha and I specifically say “decaf” and they make it and give it to me and the label says “decaf” but then I get finished drinking it and I realize that I don’t think it was decaf at all because I’m all wired and a little jittery and that never ever happens when it’s truly a decaf and this is why I always order decaf because I’m not real good with feeling all wired and a little jittery as I have way too much energy as it is and can be perceived as a total spaz anyway without all the caffeine which is why I always always always order decaf and tend to freak out a bit when I realize later that it’s really not decaf but actually very very very much caf.
