I crashed last night. I was probably asleep by 11pm. I slept straight through to 8am this morning, and I am still exhausted. Everything feels like it is taking a huge amount of effort to do – just typing an e-mail to a client is draining. This is not a good feeling. I want to go home, put on my jammies, and curl back up in bed! Ugh. I need to find some energy & find it fast … I have a lot to do today! Hmmm… maybe some caffeine will help. Off to the fridge!
We returned from San Antonio a little while ago. Unfortunately, we didn’t go through Austin so Nicole couldn’t stand by the road and wave at me. We took I-10 all the way. The meetings both went really well and they are both exciting projects, although one of them is huge exciting. But … shhhh … I don’t want to jinx them! I am exhausted after spending 7 hours in the car so I am going to go unwind and watch some Men’s Figure Skating. w00t!
Thank you for all of the wonderful Valentine’s day wishes! I really appreciate them! It’s been a good day for me, hope it has been for everyone else too!
When I opened my e-mail last night I found three Valentines. There was one from Erika, one from Robyn and one from Jennifer. Damn, do you guys know me or what? YOU ROCK! Totally made my day to open those. I could not stop laughing! Thank you!
Wow, did I go over 24 hours without making a post? Get out. Well, pressed for time, we are heading to San Antonio shortly to go meet with two different potential clients. 3+ hours in the car each way. I have gotten so much work moved out of the way this week, hopefully I will be able to finish the last of it today. I can’t tell you how happy that would make me! But I had to stop & take a moment to wish everyone a HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY!!!
*GASP* I’m about 30 minutes behind on the news thanks to Tivo and pausing to respond to e-mails and stuff, but GET OUT! First I am watching Jaime Sale saying how you can never let someone take away your dreams, and that they skate for the love of skating. “Sure, we’re disappointed, but you know that going into the sport” sort of thing. Then Bob Costas returns (that man really bugs me) and says “The French judge has said that she was forced to make a deal to vote for the Russians in return for a vote for the French Ice Dancing team.” And who was the swing vote last night? Yep, the French Judge. Although it seems that USA Today has a different take on it.
Wow. And you thought the Olympics were boring.
That said, I really enjoyed Elvis Stojko’s skate just now. It wasn’t perfect, but … the spirit really shined through. It made me smile. The presentation was great! I’m putting my money on Yagudin and Goebel. Not sure which one will get first, so I’ll pick both.
As Casey FitzRandolph climbed to the top of the podium tonight to receive the gold medal for Men’s Speed Skating, 500m, I have to stop to say thank you. He is actually singing the national anthem. As sweet as it was to see a US sweep on the podium last night after the snowboarding competition, not a single one of the three of them was singing. Not only did Casey sing, he cried. That, to me, is an Olympic moment.
My two pet peeves? People that have raggedy flags hanging on their cars (very, very disrespectful to the flag if it’s hanging in tattered threads) and people that don’t sing the national anthem, especially when representing the USA. Ok, not like I have only two pet peeves – I have lots of them. Those are just two of them that seemed important right now…
