We got our new business cards a couple of days ago and boy am I excited!!! The first ones we ordered were really bad! The paper was cheap feeling and the picture was blurry. Lesson learned: don’t always go with the cheapest option. (It worked out okay: we changed the design […]

Sorry I haven’t posted in so long — it’s been pretty busy around here!
We traded in my Kia and bought a minivan, Clint is all but finished with two of the JA Videos, I’ve been doing some photo editing, helping Debbie with her website, helping another mom design a site, and looking for more work […]

We picked up the videos for the JA Dallas project today. Linda told me it was okay to bring Christina along, so we did. She smiled at everybody and waved at a couple of people, and had a blast crawling around the conference room while we talked to Linda about the project.
We asked […]

We got the job!!!
We’re super-excited and can’t wait to get started!
We go in Friday afternoon, to pick up the materials, and then we have ten days or so to go through everything and come up with some sort of game plan. We’ll be checking in with them periodically to make sure we’re on the […]

So today Angelina completed a shut-out of school this week. We expected to get the results back from the lab after the doctor’s office visit on Wednesday came up negative. That’s what happened last time: doctor’s office negative, lab positive. She seemed much better today, despite the lingering cough and very slight […]

So this is different. I’ve taken my laptop on flights before, but I don’t know that I’ve ever actually used it during the flight. Usually it just looks like I’m one of the few competent business fliers who actually gets his stuff done before the flight. That’s fine, of course, but sometimes […]

…the video guy taketh away.
So much for that. I’ve seldom witnessed a greater leap from reason to unreason in so short a period of time, and in this case it’s most unfortunate because I was really looking forward to that job.
What happened? Well, you’ll have to ask Chris Martin of CFM Communications, ’cause […]

After having eCarList, the auto photography job that seemed so promising, peter out, and discovering that the catering job wasn’t going to do what I thought it was, I’ve been back in job ad mode. Nothing promising was showing up until, almost one on top of the other, a couple have materialized (on Craigslist, […]

It really is nice when the kids wake up in a good mood. They were unusually cheerful and polite this morning, which just started the day off on the right foot. It’s so much nicer when we’re all smiling and laughing!
I’m so glad that Clint didn’t keep that StreetDelivery.com job — he would have been […]

It started auspiciously and kept that track the rest of the day. The kids were in a good mood from the start, joining each other in the bathroom for their daily “the train is leaving” ritual before assuming the position on the couch (Alexander on the right, Angelina on the left) to color. Carole and […]
