10 Random Things for a Friday

Posted by Lanel on June 5, 2009

Yep, it’s FRIDAY!

1. I feel like I had a very successful week at work.  I’m not sure why I feel that way but I do.  My billable time isn’t up, I don’t have any new clients, I didn’t do anything extraordinary, but I feel like it was a good week.  That’s nice.
2. Tonight I’m going to a networking event.  I’m not really sure if I’m excited or not.  A group of VAs I meet with locally and I have a table at the event and I had to buy some stuff for it so I have a bit of $$$ invested in the event, I really hope it ends up being worth it.  We’ll see.
3. The sun is finally shining.  It’s actually a little on the warm side.  I wouldn’t be complaining but I’ve been inside all week (working) and today I’m wearing “make me look smart” clothes so I feel warm.  But, I’m glad the sun is shining
4. I planted everything on my front patio and the flowers look great.  I have a pink/white/purple theme  going on.  I LOVE it.  The back patio.  Well…
5. Tomorrow is FARM CHICKS.  I’m excited but I don’t really know why I’m excited.  I just am.  I don’t even know if I’m going because the people I thought were going aren’t and I don’t want to go alone.  But, I guess my sister-in-law and her mom are going so I’ll go with them.
6. I went to my first private art reception.  Woohoo.  Doesn’t that sound fancy?  One of my friends is an artist and his show started last night, I got an invitation to the private reception so I went.  It was kind of fun.  That gallery (sort of) redeemed itself to me.  I’ll still need to monitor if I’m taking my niece but it was approved for this show.
7. My assistant rocks.  Did I tell you I hired an assistant?  Well, I did.  She rocks.  I was so scatterbrained today trying to figure tonight out.  She kept me on track and even went and bought the things I needed but forgot to order.  So, yeah, she pretty  much rocks.
8. I have become a Farm Town addict.  I know, what’s Farm Town, right?  It’s a stupid game on Facebook.  I’m ADDICTED.  Well, the complete addiction is over, I have now obtained a high enough level in the game that I’m able ot plant crops that take longer to harvest so I don’t have to be on there EVERY day.  Plus, I get to play with my sister in CA so it’s cool.  We’ve talked more in the last couple weeks because of this game than we’ve talked in the last year I think.  So, I’m happy.
9. A very good family friend died this week.  I’ve known them since I was born, I think.  His wife and my mom are the closest of friends.  It was not a fun call that I got on Saturday and Monday’s was worse.  Death sucks.
10. My cat has officially become annoying.  First he gets himself stuck in the refrigerator for an hour.  Then he gets himself locked out of the house for who knows how long.  Then he gets himself locked in the closet overnight.  Not to mention the mini-blind issue.  Well, he latest trick, knocking the screen out of the window then getting annoyed with ME because he was on the front porch and couldn’t get in.  You’d think he’d learn.  Yeah, right.

OK…I’m off for a late lunch and some networking.  Wish me lots of good clients.
