Wow -- it seems
like forever since I've had a chance to just sit down and update my
own page for once!! Well, it's been over 2 weeks, so I've got tons
to share with you all.
As you may remember,
I was headed out to SXSW Interactive Festival in Austin on the last
update. Katie and I headed out on Friday night after feeding and bath
time and we picked up some food for ourselves along the way. BUT it
was a Friday night in Lent -- so we had a hard time finding something
that would work! By the time we got to La Grange, it was looking like
all we were going to find was a Filet O'Fish sandwich at McD's,
but we found a drive thru Taco Bell
-- bean burritos it was . . .
We finally rolled
into Austin about 10:10 and unpacked, got Jackson in his pack n play
and hung out with Myra and Kenneth for a little while before hitting
the sack.
The rest of the
weekend was pretty good -- I did my web stuff at the panel meetings
and Katie and Jackson and everyone hung out and enjoyed Austin.
The whole next
week was pretty full for us all. I was working like normal -- just
with more clients -- Jackson was sick with his first little 'common
cold'; and Katie made sales calls during the week and was on call
over the weekend.
Over the weekend
we had birthday parties on both days -- our friends Sara and Eric's
daughter Kiara
was having her first birthday party along with our other friends Jake
and Dawn's daughter Jessica. Both born on the same day one year ago.
We all got together with tons of other Hash
friends and had a really nice party. The only problem was that Jackson
had to miss it -- we didn't want to spew germs on any of the other
kids. Katie and I went in shifts to the party.
Sunday, Katie
and her mom went to our nephew Taylor's fourth birthday party at Tom
and Laura's new house. I would have liked to go to see everyone and
their new house, but we just didn't think Jackson needed to go through
all that. He really looked and felt pitiful.
Over the next
few days, though, he started feeling better from what we could tell.
By the weekend, he looked 98% -- which is about where he is now. Still
a little cough, but OK.
Over last weekend,
I went out camping with the Texas
Interhash 2000 -- which was an absolute blast! I got out to the
campsite on Saturday at noon and really enjoyed being with friends
-- about 250 of them! The entertainment was great and the people were
wonderful. Unfortunately, I had to wake up at 7 am to pack up camp
and get back to Houston to go: To Austin!
My friend Darin
Darby invited me to join a Fantasy Baseball league and Sunday
was draft day. Austin, TX @ 3:30. Back to Houston by 10:15. Long day.
Now it's bust
ass at work. I've picked up 4 new clients with 5 projects (at least)
in the past 10 days. Good for me and good for them -- but it makes
for long hours. And that means . . . Back to work!!
On a side note,
my sister Myra finally got email at her work -- BUT IT CHANGED SINCE
I POSTED IT LAST -- myra@wordofmouthcatering.com
-- send her a note.
Also, don't forget
to check out the web cam I recently installed
-- it snaps a new picture live every 1 to 5 minutes, depending on
how I set it for the day.
Anyhow, that's
about it. Hope all is well with you folks out there -- let
me know what's going on in your world sometimes, too!
