Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy

Saturday, August 6th
What a fun day. Jake and Donna arrived late Friday. We woke up and had breakfast at home, everyone showered and got pretty and then we went to see a movie. That night was the birthday celebration with friends. I got the funniest gift I think I've ever received! I must've turned bright red as I got to the part in the poem where I realized my friends had given me a *rabbit*.

Sunday, August 7th
Another, laid back day. More breakfast cooked by the HUSband. Our friend, M, came over (different than the M friend who I told about the blog a few weeks ago), and the boys spent a couple hours talking techie stuff before Jake and Donna headed home.

There was a part of me that felt a little silly choosing to fly to Houston rather than drive. Even though the total travel time is about the same since you have to be at the airport early and all, I really enjoy someone else doing the navigation piece. I was happy to realize I'd made the right choice when it was raining so much that the drive would have been miserable for me.

Tuesday was not a happy day for many of the people that I interacted with. I went to Houston to deliver some bad news to an office there. I was happy because they handled it as well as could be expected and didn't choose to shoot the messenger.

Wednesday, August 10th
I was happy to be home from Houston. I was even happier that my flight arrived at 4:00 and the traffic wasn't bad on the way home.

Today, August 11th
I just won my first movie ticket from Blingo. This site really does work. If you haven't signed up yet, find your way to the button on my sidebar and do so. The techie folks I know that use it say that it is no more big-brother-ish than Google. It really does work like Google, but they give stuff away.
