“Marriage Protection Week,” ugh…

I worked from home in the morning, and Smith Exterminating showed up at about 10:30. I signed a service contract for a year with them. I left at 11:00 to make the ITIM 4.5 Appreciation Luncheon at Maggianno’s. I sat at a table with Brian, Vid, Barry, and Jim Ebert. Lunch was so delicious. We … Read more

EAGLE lunch, and dancing…

I had lunch with the EAGLE folks today at Southpoint Mall. Deanna was there with Alyssa, so it was a pleasure meeting the little one. So cute! There were about 10 folks there, which is the biggest crowd we’ve had in a long while. Cheryl still hasn’t announced her departure from IBM to the group. … Read more

Happy Birthday to Me

I met Steve, Joe, and Jay at Rockford’s for a birthday dinner. On the way, I stopped at Carmax to buy a car. I left Brent there to transfer a Silver 2002 Toyota with 12,000 miles on it from Laural Toyota in Laurel Maryland. We had a very fun dinner, with a real cute waiter, … Read more

A beautiful walk on the beach…

We got up at around 9:00, and had some coffee, and banana-nut coffee cake. Robert called down to ask for a late checkout, and we got an extra hour, having to be out by noon. We finished up breakfast, and then went for an hour walk on the beach. It was so beautiful out, and … Read more

Shell Island…

We got up around 9:00, had a nice breakfast of scrambled eggs with chourico and cheese in them, some toast, and milk. It was quite good, if I may say so myself. We got on the road a little before noon, and had a fun ride to the beach. Snacks, which Robert had brought, consisted … Read more

Intolerable Cruelty…

I met Adrienne for lunch at Fireside at Southpoint. It was great to get caught up with her. She is looking so beautiful. I left there, and ran over to Souper! Salad! to meet Janet, Mary, and Sharon. Janet announced about making me the executor of her estate, and gave me a key to her … Read more

Questions, questions, questions…

I was bombarded with questions today about ISO and process, mostly from the west coast folks, Greg and BT. While it feels good to be sought out as the expert, it’s hard to get things done when I’m interrupted with questions all day. The two-hour process education given by John S. in Austin via e-meeting … Read more

No blood on the floss…

I had a dentist appointment at 8:00AM today. Fortunately, I looked at the calendar on my fridge right before going to bed last night, or I would have missed the appointment — in spite of the card in the mail two weeks ago, and the reminder call on Tuesday. My hygienist is pregnant again, and … Read more

A productive day at home…

I had an incredibly productive “work at home” day today, spending the entire day writing up the improvements that need to be made to AMeB’s PPD before Marilyn’s next review. As a bonus, my 11:00 (TIGR) conference call got canceled. At 5, I took a quick shower, and then headed over to Upper Cuts. Thomas … Read more
