I'm not the only one

I've just been sitting here reflecting on the past week and it's been a bit of a rollercoaster.

In a nutshell: We found out the family has another baby on the way, but as I type this, we're not sure if she's carrying or not. We'll know for sure on Tuesday--just praying until then.

Got to meet David Sedaris and hear him read a few stories. Fantastic. He shared a story with my mom and I about a guy he had just met who was a maintenance worker at a casino who told him that people will be so desperate not to leave their slot machines that they will actually crap themselves. Random? Yes. Thank you, David Sedaris for that fascinating bit of information.

Quick trip to California to visit the fam was great. Great timing or horrible timing depending on how you look at it. The Thumb was teething, and his final tooth (for now) broke through the day after we left. He was a crabby boy who couldn't be soothed for most of our time with him, but he's a baby so we forgave him. It was perfect timing to just "be there". Nice how that happens.

Decisions about jobs that are not fun to make. I'm just hoping I make the right one.

Huge disappointment with escrow. Had to reschedule the crew and gear myself up for a few more days of waiting... and waiting...

Hardly any calls from friends this week. That makes me sad.

David Sedaris is great. Naked was a fantastic book. Definitly a favorite. He's one of my favorite interveiws on NPR.

Thanks for the sweet comment the other day. Really, thanks for that.

When you finally get a job, maybe then you can make some friends there. I would call you to make you less sad, but you're only my groupie rather than a friend, so it probably wouldn't be as fun.
