I forgot, why? Dang it!

Well, tonight is a good friend/coworkers big going away Happy Hour at a local Irish pub. It won't be too bad because I can boss everyone around (office manager) and order several appetizers that are Atkins friendly (buffalo wings, veggie crudite, shrimp cocktail and oysters).

Then its the long train ride home to go right to bed to wake up and come back to work again, to go out with family for dinner and a movie tomorrow night (more of a spiritual/zen movie and discussion with writer and director afterwards). THEN they want us to drive up again to watch my cousin play soccer. ARG! Why is it I can't get a weekend to rest? Almost every weekend last weekend was packed, this weekend is packed, next weekend I'm not sure about but I can only guess, the weekend after that is packed!

But, the great news is that my partner got a very encouraging call from the SEC office in Boston telling her that they were sorry for not getting back to her quickly after her phone interview because they have been swamped, but that they would be calling her next week absolutely and they were "still VERY interesting in speaking" to her more. (second interview???) We called my mother immediately and I think I lost hearing in that ear momentarily. I wouldn't be surprised if she was clearing out my old bedroom as I type. It would be so nice to be in New England for Christmas and NOT have to deal with flying, baggage, how to handle the cats, etc.
