In the last month or two:
- I resigned my job at RenewData.
- I got a new job at Charles Schwab on an operations team. It's like the entry-level position of the next rung up on the ladder. As Andrea put it, it's like going from being the manager of Burger King to a waiter at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse.
- Andrea's mom came to visit us. I took her to Half Price Books. She loved it. I forgot how awesome that place is. It makes me wanna spend money.
- Andrea got a job at the Embassy Suites. She's starting a new career in the hospitality industry. She's also at the bottom of the first rung at the moment, but she's hoping to one day be a hotel manager or something.
- I have been thinking about making a birdhouse or a bird feeder shaped like a giant nose with a moustache. I think a feeder would be better. The birds would stand on the moustache and pick food out of the nose. Pretty awesome, right? I kinda wanna make a bird house shaped like a butt too - is that too rude? Maybe I'll put it in the backyard instead of the front yard, hehe.
- Andrea had to have minor surgery on her leg due to "spindle beavers" or something like that - not a serious issue, just precautionary.
- The mountain laurel in our front yard bloomed for the first time ever. I planted it six years ago... The blooms smell like fruity girl-drinks.
- Andrea, Claudia (Andrea's mom), and I went to Estancia Churasceria for my mom's birthday. Delicious.
- I also went to the Ladybird Johnson Wildflower with my mom and wife for the first time. That place is awesome! All the flowers were in bloom. I smelled all kindsa new flowers I'd never smelled before. There's a big stone tower out there too - Andrea and I climbed to the top and enjoyed the great view. There's also some great statuary - my favorite one was the giant ants.
- I discovered that the Giant Spiderwort (the purple flowers I have in my yard) smell like limes if you stick your nose right on them.
