Happy New Year! 🙂 It’s been an exhausting day. We started out the morning slow with the usual routine of Brandon playing games and me watching Food Network In the Kitchen.

We’re changing our Thai food joint after finding out through Brandon’s friends of the family that the original owner of The Treasure Pot, where we’ve been going to for 4 years, opened a new restaurant. Yeah. We ate at Treasure Pot for 4...

Celeste and I are working on a directory of our investors. She compiles the thing. I format it. We hit a little snag when one of the investors, Jack, has 2 email addresses that are essentially the same. With just that one extra line, I couldn’t fit 4 profiles in a row. Celeste: Well, I called Jack and he said to use the first email address. Me: Okee dokey. *deletes the other email address* Ahh…see that looks better now. Yey! Celeste: See?

Yesterday, we celebrated the first meeting of 2006 for my office’s Alcoholic Unanimous group. Pretty much me and a few other coworkers conjured up a core group to drag everyone with us for a monthly happy hour outting. Today, we celebrated the first meeting of 2006 for our girl’s night out dinner. That’s me and 5 other girls who have all become friends through our husbands/boyfriend. Today, also, I just finished an apartment application for a place in Los Alamitos. Also, signed the 30-day notice to our current landlord. There’s a good chance we’d have to eat next month’s rent...

I’m wound up tighter than the San Andreas fault. 1. Have a project I must get done before I go home (11 days!). But folks on top of the food chains seem to have a different idea. So, out the window with my supposed priority number one. Oh yeah, then there’s the big melt down of the chain of command today that frustrated almost everyone involved. Just been a long and crazy day. 2. Must also finish most of Shane’s webpage before I leave at the least. He already paid for it. 3. Still no prospect for an apartment to...
