meanwhile
Wow, it has been a couple months since I posted. I’m getting really bad at this, but that’s partly because I update my public blogs more frequently now.
Since the last major status update:
- Had a few good dinners with Superman and various friends and family
- Had a fun visit from my college roommate (without her husband or kids, so it was like old times)
- Convinced the high school student I interviewed for college admissions to go to my college (she’s the first one I’ve interviewed who got in, and I’m so excited for her)
- Went to Chicago to see get Kanga and Roo married (and to have a second dinner at Alinea)
- Hosted a girls’ night in
- Went to Z-town for part 2 of Kanga and Roo’s wedding
- Closed deals in Z-town just in time for a big launch (it was kind of crazy — my schedule wasn’t terrible, but Superman pulled two all-nighters)
- Caught up with lots of friends in Z-town, and got to know Kanga and Roo’s families a bit
- Got a promotion
Now, summer is finally here for good (very late for California), and I’m starting to do my usual lolling around the house, reading and watching DVDs until my eyeballs hurt. I’ve finished 58 books so far in 2011, which is better than last year, but not on track to hit 150. Maybe I should set my sights a little bit lower. 120? 130?
I’m getting restless, and I’m starting to plot out upcoming travels to soothe the itch:
- LA in September for a work thing (maybe stay an extra weekend to eat with friends?)
- Maybe somewhere in Europe in October or November (work part of the time?) although I think my mom would probably go full martyr if I went and she knew, because I’m avoiding a trip with her this summer.
- Maybe Fiji or Papua New Guinea in April or May?
