Weekend

The weekend is here and it's going to be a busy one! I've got photos with Annie & Family today. Then I'm coming home to get some work in. This evening I'm going to a birthday gathering for Julie. George has put together something that she's totally unaware of. Dinner and then we're going to Pete's Dueling Pianos (or whatever it's called). Should be fun. It'll be interesting to see if we make it to the piano bar in time to get a table for the whole group. Tomorrow I've got The Color Purple to go to (and more work to get done!) It's been crazy busy.

I talked to Brad Boy last night and found out the gang is coming up next weekend. Fun!! We'll have a chance to celebrate all the September birthdays & Joe's birthday. Plus, they'll get to check out Courtney's new house. I hope this wasn't a surprise! Nobody told me it was!! LOL

To the right you can see the "card" I did for one of Sissi's customers, or someone she knows. It ended up turning out pretty good. I don't know if the picture really shows it, but there's little rhinestones on it, too, just to glam it up a bit. I've gotta figure out what to charge for it. There's a poll to the right. Tell me what you think, please!

Off to get my stuff together and to take some photos!

No GBC

So I won't be going to Gun Barrell City come Friday. First, I had depos for tomorrow & Friday called in from one of my clients. Then Julie's day fell apart and she's going to GBC now. While I'm bummed I won't get down there and see everybody, I still have soooo much to do! LOL I'm editing a real humdinger of a deposition now. I can only stand so much of it at a time. It's really bad grammer, run-on sentences, and fast, fast, fast. So I'm really having to go over it slowly and carefully.

Plus, Sunday is my last Summer Musical of the season. It's The Color Purple. I loved the movie. I hope to like the musical. I don't wanna be depressed! This means I'll miss the Cowboy game. I'm going to set it on my DVR, but how knows if I'll actually go back and watch it. I just hope they win! Also, isn't it Texas-OU weekend at the fair? At least our tickets are on Sunday. Maybe there won't be all the crazies out there then.

I talked with Mary Ann (who was my musical going partner) and we decided to NOT get season tickets next year for Dallas. There just aren't enough shows that we really, really want to see. For that matter, that we even kind of want to see. I did see where Grease is coming to Bass Performance Hall next summer and Taylor Hicks (yes, the Season 5 American Idol winner) is going to be in the show. I'll for sure be going to that!! I do love Grease!! And I've never seen a stage production of it.

Loving the cooler weather! I've actually turned all the fans off in my house. I may even turn off my bedroom one. Although, that one tends to run 24/7/365.

Guess that's it for now.................

Hana Time

So I had to get the pictures out of the way! I have more on Flickr that are uploading right now. I'll link them, of course, as soon as they're uploaded.

Yesterday I took a break from my work and went up to the Massey's new place. It is really nice! Hana has such a big play room!! And her room is so much bigger, too. In fact, all the bedrooms are so much bigger. The Masseys have really found a great home! (I really, really LOVE their hardwood floors!!) There are a few pictures mixed among all the Hana ones.

On to Hana. She's changing so much!! It hasn't been but a couple of weeks since I saw her, but she's all into hugging now. As soon as I got there and held her, I got a great big hug from her and then she laid her head on my shoulder. She's just such a sweetie!

Also, got to Sis & Doug. They were helping out with the big move. It was good to see Doug. It seems like everytime I'm at the lake he's working. We all watched the Cowboy game. Or at least, Sis & Courtney watched as they were unpacking. The game ended up being much closer than it should have been. Not sure what's up with the Cowboys right now, but they just seem out of sync the last couple of weeks. Hopefully they'll have their act together for Arizona.

After the game, Joe cooked a fabulous meal. He grilled steaks (turned out awesome) and we had his great baked potatos and a vegetable mix. We all sat at the table liked civilized adults and had a very nice meal.

Got some nice rain this morning. Talked to my mom and she said we could have some more tonight, I think. It sure did cool things off. Had two short depos today. I actually don't have a depo tomorrow. It canceled, so now I'm going to get to stay home and work, work, work! I just need to stay caught up and try to get a little ahead!

It's time to renew my season tickets to the Dallas Summer Musicals. I'm on the fence about this. While I LOVE my seats, I'm not interested in many (if any) of the shows this coming year. They are: Tarzan, A Chorus Line, Legally Blonde, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Happy Days (who knew there was a musical based on the TV show?), Mary Poppins, The Wizard of Oz. There's nothing really calling to me to see. I think what we're going to do is just get tickets to individual shows or see what Bass Performance Hall in Fort Worth has. It's $652 pp for the season. Just not sure I want to spend that money on shows that I'm not excited about. For just a little bit more money I could go to NY and see two or three plays ON Broadway that I really wanted to see.....LOL Oh, decisions, decisions.

That's about it for now. Oh, as promised, here are the photos. 10-5-08 Masseys
