We had such a nice time yesterday. My nephew’s second birthday was so cute. I swear he had no idea what was going one and was just happy to run around talking to everyone. He liked having a gift but wasn’t particularly interested in opening them, except to pull the big candy sucker off the top of one and walk around talking to it. But he did love the books he was given, sat right down and started talking to himself as though discussing with himself the contents. My sister told me today that he wanted them read to him over and over before bed and cried when story time was over. I am glad he loves to read; he must take after me! Then we stopped for dinner at my brother and sister-in laws and enjoyed a great baked brie with a glass of wine before dinner and everyone enjoyed my rhubarb cake. It was a hit!
Today I am feeling really productive. I have spent at least four hours today transcribing more email addresses for the press releases and I finally feel like I am making some progress. There is nothing like watching the list grow and grow. The problem of course is that I keep thinking up new places to search for more address or different media to expand into in the search for more contacts. But I am trying to keep myself to my original intention and if I have time afterwards I can always add to the list. I really know now that there is a tonne of work ahead of me in the next two months but I feel more settled about attacking it. One step at a time and I will get there. Now I just hope I can apply the same energy to getting the inside of the book finished, especially while I am lying on a beach! I have a good friend leaving tomorrow for Cuba for a week of sun and relaxation. I would be jealous if we weren’t leaving for the sun in a week. But first the house will close and we will get our keys. Our first home together, outside of the condo, a place for us to build the next phase of our life. Feeling pretty good about the future right now!
