Look at the time stamp! Even I don’t remember when was the last time I stayed up until 1:30 a.m. Thanks, Irena! BTW – Go see “Cars”. It’s awesome. Just awesome. I probably have to see it again because I missed a few jokes. And yeah, you should know Pixar by now but just a reminder to sit through the credit. 🙂...

Oh, the trouble a self taught novice graphic designer has to go through. So, the printer said our logo uses PMS 871 Metallic gold. Okay that’s well and good, but finding a good match for that in RGB or CYMK is a little tricky as my old Photoshop doesn’t have PMS 871 in their Pantone color match. I hit the internet in search for an equivalent to PMS 871 that other people use on their style guides. I either ended up too green or bright yellow. Finally, I found the perfect gold. The bosses love it. I took PMS 126...

Okay. I have to get y’all caught up. But first. Paul called Brandon not long after we got home from his vasectomy appointment yesterday. In a little kid’s voice: “Daddy, daddy! Why did you cut us loose? Don’t you love us any more?” We damn near died laughing. Yep. The vasectomy was done. Brandon stayed home today and he’s feeling just fine. The horror of yesterday seems so far away. Well, let’s just say that he wasn’t numb enough for the last little bit of the procedure. Boys, you can uncross your legs now. We spent the rest of evening...

So, I missed the day of busy work. I missed the annual fireman benefit down on Hope street. I missed my eye doctor’s appointment…well, they canceled on me on that one. What a day to have a cold! So far, I woke up at 8. Back to bed at 10. Up again at 12. And back at again at 2. I’m feeling better, but not tip-top shape. But I’m good enough to get Brandon to his vasectomy appointment and to assist him after that. Yep. This is it, kids....

…seeing your best friend 6-month pregnant, and hanging out with a great group of people for the entire afternoon. J.C. and Erick are near due date, but they flew out to CA for the holiday to be with their friends and family. It was like being at their wedding all over again yesterday with Erick’s family and their friends. Good times! …sleeping for 10 hours straight. …watching X Men: the Last Stand first thing in the morning–well, right after breakfast of Campbell’s Chunky sirloin burger soup– and having theater popcorn for lunch. …laying on the couch for the rest of...
