Lucky 13


Aside from a few potholes in my way today, it's been a good day, overall. I burnt my breakfast, but my morning transit was smooth. I had to deal with some minor software hiccups but managed to beat Contribute into submission and get done the project I'd been assigned. (I am quite happy with the result but it still has to get the go-ahead from a number of stakeholders.)

This evening we had a sushi dinner then took Kiddo to a "Valentine Social" -- I was expecting an update on the "sock-hops" we had at her age  but instead we got to watch a gym full of kids raid the equipment closet and reenact the first chapters of Lord Of The Flies. It was cut short by a basketball to Kiddo's shin which prompted a tantrum. We ferried her over to her Nana's for the night and went out for a late snack at The Mint followed by a walk around town.

Back home, we exchanged Valentine's gifts early and settled in for the night.

Vacation's end... (almost)

Have you ever unwrapped a Hershey's Kiss and inadvertantly put the foil in your mouth instead of the chocolate? That's the kind of day I am having. It's not a bad day... just... my head is officially "on vacation" which means it's about time for me to go back to work. Le sigh.

I have two busy days ahead socially, so I may or may not update again before I am back to work... so what have I done with my summer vacation? Let's recap:
