Daily Recap

It was quite a day today. I had about five hours of meetings at work which went really well which is always good.

My 10:00 meeting was very interesting. Four people were supposed to show up for it and by 10:05, only one was there. I proceed to the conference room with the client and we start to sit down. All the while I'm thinking, "Man, this is the first time I've met the guy. What the hell are we going to talk about?" I had just started to try and think of any interesting stories I could share when he mentioned that he played NeverRest. I asked him to repeat himself and he said, "Oh, sorry. EverQuest. Ever heard of it?" Needless to say we had definitely found a topic to discuss and passed the next half-hour or so chatting about EverQuest when I told him that I'd just started playing about three weeks ago. I think I now have a new favorite client.

The second meeting went really well too and I feel like the relationship that we're beginning is really going to flourish. We're losing a very important person with this company, so I've been a little worried about how things were going to shake out, but I think they're going to work out just fine.

I jetted out of work right at five so I could meet Jeanna in Humble and catch a 5:50 showing of Red Dragon. They actually started the movie a little early so we missed the previews and a bit of the first scene and the movie was blurry for about ten minutes. Other than that, I have to say that the movie was excellent. Great performances and extremely faithful to the book, which I've already loved. I would highly recommend catching it at the theater if you still can.

After that we went and grabbed a bite to eat and stood around and chatted for quite some time. If I've never mentioned it before, I love Jeanna because we enjoy so many of the same things and I never tire of talking to her. She's so wonderful.

I got home and was very much less than thrilled to find out that Steven had told the TiVo not to record Friends and Will & Grace thinking they were reruns and recorded the damn Rockets game instead. This is like the third time he's changed the line-up without telling me and I've missed shows I've really wanted to watch. I think I may have to get him his own box for Christmas so my shows can be recorded in safety.

A high point to the evening, though, was when I checked the mail and found that my Blog Ornament Exchange ornament had arrived. It is this beautiful yellow and green fish covered in glitter with the cutest pink lips. I'll have to take a picture of it and put it up over at Picture Fish so that everyone can see it. Thanks so much, Sarah, for the ornament! It is perfect and I really love it. =)

Anyway, Bella and I are off to cuddle up and go to sleep. I am exhausted and I am so glad that it's Friday already. Be sure to come back later and see which five blogs I feature this week in Discovery Friday. Remember, a good way for me to find your blog and start reading it is to leave comments, so say hi, especially if you're a new reader.

Good night, all! Sleep tight!

Check and see if you have 2 inputs on your TiVo. If so, I'll volunteer my hubby to help you figure out if you can set it up the way ours is. We can tape 2 things at the same time now.
