Things of Note:

Hello, internet friends! I am having a pretty good week so far, I hope you are, too. Nothing crazy monumental happening here, just lots of small good things. Those paychecks finally showed up. I met some nice gals through GirlfriendCircles.com yesterday for coffee and we talked for 2 hours(!) and plan to meet up again. I have a big project wrapping up today and for once it’s low stress, as I have everything on my end done. And I’ve been in a make-things and cook-things mood, which is always good. I’m not even minding the fact that the Texas sky is still being all gloomy out instead of its normal sunniness. Not to beat you over the head with my cheeriness, but I think I was due, especially after last week’s mope-fest, haha.

How’s your week going?
