This And That

I’ve not got anything really big on my mind today (I already know what you’re thinking and HUSH!) so I thought I’d let you know what’s been going on in my life.

Yesterday I had a meeting with my boss’ boss to discuss a potential new position. It’ll be a month or two before I know anything, but it sounds interesting and fits better not only with what I’m trained to do but the way I work best. I’m not very good at mundane details or follow-through. This new position would mean that I’ve have my fingers in a lot of pies, but not so much so that I’d get scalded. So we’ll see.

Last night I went to a meeting for the annual arts weekend that my town holds. Cita insisted that I join, and she’s right, because I do need to get out of the house more. I thought I’d be a volunteer, but instead I’m heading up an exhibit. Cita has arranged for my volunteers, and I don’t have any other details. I did ask her what I needed to do doing until the next general meeting, and she told me that I don’t need to do anything. Well, that’s not going to play too well for an uber-planner like me. I’ll give it a few days, and then I’ll harass her. I just can’t stand the thought of being in charge of an interactive exhibit and not knowing what I’m doing.

Saturday, Momma and I went shopping. We got lots of homey things, because last weekend was really, really pretty – sun and highs in the high 50s – and this weekend was cooler, but just as sunny, and we’re both jonesing for spring. I got two new lamps and a couple of pretty tchotchkes. Here is my updated living room table:

That’s pretty much it. Tomorrow I’m going to an industry function with an old friend/soon-to-be colleague. Hopefully it’ll be fun. I don’t know a lot of the young professionals around here as I practice nontraditionally, but there will be cocktails and maybe one or two of the people I’ve met before when I was brave enough to attend these events by myself.

Ooh! One last thing – Cita – poor, poor Cita – has been enduring my tales of woe for the past two months. I don’t envy her, and I often wonder why she puts up with me. She decided that I needed a treat, so she got me something pretty:

Everyone should have a best friend like Cita.

(P.S. - I took that picture with my phone and my left hand, neither of which do well for me,)
