Where Have You Been?

Well.

Wish I had a really good excuse for not writing anything on this blog for a couple of weeks. Except I was busy.  Really busy.  I was!  (Did you hear my voice go up two octaves there? Did I sound like a 13 year-old?)

In order to catch everyone up quickly I’ve decided to create a list of the things I should have been blogging about had I actually taken the time to open my laptop and write.  Here goes. And in no particular order:

• I regrouted my shower (all by myself, and in some spots it shows)
• I caulked my shower (that part looks great cuz I bought the little plastic thingy that makes just the right amount of caulk go into the right places)
• Two words — True Blood (thank you HBO for giving me a vampire fix while we wait a ridiculously long time for the next Twilight movie to open)
• United Cerebral Palsy SNOWball, Friday, December 4th at the Westin downtown – I’ve been asked to co-chair the silent/live auction.  And I said yes! (more on that topic later)
• For that auction I have been able to acquire 4 tickets to the American Idol concert tour next summer with backstage passes to meet the Idols.  Let the bidding war begin!!
• Went to a party last weekend called a “Bitchin’ Bonfire” — all women.  We sat around a bonfire and….well, you get the idea.
• Took my dog Sasha for a walk and twisted my ankle on the edge of the sidewalk.  Totally fell. Like a sack of potatoes.  Skinned knee, lots of bruises.  Handsome neighbor tried to help, Sasha tried to bite him.

That’s been my life for the last two weeks.

One other important thing happened, too.  I got a job!

Finally found the perfect part-time job — at United Cerebral Palsy of Greater Cincinnati.  The same place where I’m co-chairing the silent/live auction.  Betsy, who is now their Development Director, used to work at Speaking of Women’s Health, so it’s all very familiar. Just a different non-profit.  I’m the Special Events Coordinator and I’m loving it.

So there’s the update.

See. I told you I’ve been busy.
