About 2 weeks ago I worked really late and noticed a shooting pain in my right wrist followed my my fingers in that hand going numb. Not good. The rest of that week, the pain was so bad that I had to take Advil and then borrowed a wrist wrap from my mom, One night the pain was so bad that I couldn't sleep! But I am happy to report that I only wear the brace when I am at work and at the computer there! yay!
Last night, my cousin, Jimmy, from Oklahoma came over for sort of an impromptu dinner party with my parents and sister. I left work a little early, ran home, cleaned up the house a little, and made a pistachio salad and got some other things ready for dinner. My parents brought over the hamburger to grill and chips. yum!
Tucker was SO naughty when they were over! Right when my cousin got to our place, I was going to take Tucker outside to go to the bathroom, and when the doorbell rang, Tucker did as usual and went into his kennel, but must have sensed that it was someone new and proceeded to stay in his kennel and pee in it. UGH! So his pillow and blanket went in the wash. A little while later, after he had already been outside, my parents came to the door. Tucker was in the kitchen and he decided to pee in THERE too! I have no idea what to do with our overly excited peeing dog! Just try to take him outside before we know people are coming I guess.
Last weekend, Derick got really productive and decided we should try to reconfigure the elements in our office. We did and YAY! It looks so much better in there! With that, I decided to reconfigure my idea files and place them all in binders so that I can actually look at them, and not in file folders that never get looked through!
This Friday, Derick and Paul are going to try to do their first podcast for Midwestgamersunited.com. So that should be interesting. Derick has been listening to a few of them here and there. I already know somethings that the should NOT do:
- do not have it go longer than 30 minutes
- do not have an all-girl's podcast
- do not swear constantly
- DO talk about a wide variety of games and platforms
- DO call each other by your gamer tags
- Do not get stuck on one game for the entire podcast unless you warn your listeners in advance that is your intent
I am glad that it is Thursday. Thursday means that Friday is right around the corner and that means a 1/2 day at work followed by two glorious days off from working!
**Breaking News**
Christopher and Banks will be having its first ever dual store opening in Scranton, PA this friday, July 31st!! It is a huge deal here at the office and that means that almost all of the VPs of the company are out there to celebrate it! I was joking to my boss in an email that she should take a picture of herself and my other coworker and send it to me, as I might not remember what they look like after not seeing them for 2 weeks! Yikes! We, left behind at the corporate office are going to also be celebrating with our own mini celebration and ribbon-cutting ceremony and cake!
I am happy that I have been able to get almost all of the things on my work to-do list completed by the time that my boss returns! I love the catch-up time that it allows me when she is out of the office! No interruptions, just the constant work time.
I just got an email from my mom the other day that asked Derick and I to "save the date" for Sunday night, October 11th, because her and my dad have made arrangements for us to celebrate our one year wedding anniversary! How cool is that?! Now we are speculating what it is...and my mom informed me that is was indeed NOT a set of Wild tickets...hehe. I can't believe that we have almost been married for a YEAR!! Yikes! Time flies!
Derick job news - I guess there is no news on this one. Although we have been talking about possibly expanding his search to other states. Every time we talk about even the slightest idea about moving, it gets me excited to think that it could be a possibility for us! Even though it would be incredibly difficult in so many different ways. We shall have to just wait and see what happens. I have everything crossed that he lands a full time teaching job for the fall though.
Well, that is about all new that I can think of.
