s posts had been about Emerson, was probably a little jarring.
In truth, we've just been incredibly busy. So what's been the deal?
Probably the same things that most 2-wage-earner-with-first-baby families go through. And now that Emerson is mobile, it's even crazier. But I apologize to all three of the people who use this blog to keep up with me. ;) I have footage of this on the day it began:
We just got back from a whirlwind 36-hour trip to Springfield to see my parents. We decided to take my car (a sedan), but we also decided not to board Clyde (the kennel has raised its prices so it would have been $100 for this trip....I could have driven Clyde to Branson and gotten him his own hotel room for less). This meant fitting the two of us, plus baby, plus all the baby stuff you travel with, plus 120# of dog in a 4 door sedan. Good times. That said, Clyde is the laziest dog ever, so that helped.
I've been spending some time making inventory for my latest hobby/obsession--wood turning--and also working on a new website that will feature my stuff, potentially with the ability to sell some of it online. Probably a pipe dream, but it's fun to work on. A couple of examples were some darts I did on commission, and a pen made with spalted maple from trees in our old family resort (now buried under 22' of rock so they could build a strip mall), and a unique-shaped gold rollerball made from black palm:
And at work, the slimmer MIS department has been collectively pulling Yeomen work levels, as the number and complexity of projects seems to have jumped lately. Still, I must be doing something right, because I made SVP this go-around. Good stuff.
