"Catch Up"

06/18/2002

Jeez, where does the time go? I swear I just posted an update a couple days ago but as some of you have graciously pointed out, it's been quite a while. Let's see if I can remember what has happened over the last couple of weeks.

Work has been really busy. I'm still way, way, way behind on my personal schedule of computer certifications. This was brought to the forefront by my recent performance review. I did alright, maybe a little better than average, but not as well as I would like. They're changing the review schedule (again!) so that everyone will get their reviews around the anniversary of their hire date. This means I'm going to be having another one in October. I consider this a "good thing" because it gives me three and a half months to show some real improvement. I know, gentle reader, but even I could stand some improvement. A little bit anyway.

I finally got in touch with the booth from NCRF that wanted to sell my sheep pins. They've been so busy with shows that they haven't had time to think much on the specifics. I told them that was fine and to give me a shout when they were ready. In the meantime I'm working on the Pirate Sheep pins for myself. I've also got two or three dc-otters that have expressed interest in having pins made. Wow, this hobby is turning out to be like actual work!

I did indeed attend Celly's recital as planned. She sang beautifully and looked spec-tacular! I wish I had better pictures of the performance but I was trying to be subtle (shoosh!) so I wouldn't distract her and they all came out blurry. The pictures of the flowers came out good though.

It was a week for song because earlier that same week, the Clanlad's school had an open house of sorts for the end of the school year. Of course I told you about that last time but you haven't seen the pictures. These are only a little fuzzy. Once he noticed the camera, he became a little more active. Ahhh, the memories of the presentations in an elementary school gymnasium.

In other news, you can check here for the latest Sunni update. There's a little bit more concern now than there was last week after the surgerical procedure. *sigh*

To end this post on an up note, I refer you to Todd's site. Looks like he's finally going to make an honest woman out of our young Marcy. They are still disgustingly lovey-dovey and fawn over each other constantly. No matter what exotic locales I offer to spirit Marcy away to, she wants to stay with Todd. Women! Seriously though, I don't know when I've seen a more perfect match. Um... well except for Celly and I, of course. Hehehehe...

Gareth, my love...you always suggest places like Australia...home of the world's deadliest snakes and spiders...And now I'm *officially* off the market. Thank you for your kind words. Marcy ~ Marcy @ 11:38 p.m. EST on 06/18/2002
