Sam

My sister sent me this adorable picture of Sam today... He's SO CUTE!!!

He is in the 95% for height and 75% for weight. Us Holdaway's grow some tall kids :o)

Catching up

I’m here today again just plugging along at work in the midst of budget season. Despite my bout of ADD the other day and an unexpected stomach bug yesterday I’m still making a lot of progress and should be done with them ahead of schedule. I’ve noticed in property management that they tend to get put off until the last minute and then everyone is in a frantic state. I want mine done 4 to 5 days early to leave plenty of time for revisions and review. My boss seems to appreciate this :o) Over the last few weeks I’ve heard her say several times “I come into my office and stuff is just done. Stuff that I use to do! It’s like magic!” lol. Apparently the last manager didn’t do much.

Last night I was able to catch up with a friend on the phone I hadn’t talked to in a long time. It made me very grateful for those people that I have in my life that no matter how long you go without talking to them that they’re still there for you. That it could be months or years but you pick up right where you left off. I am very blessed to have more than one really good friend. Not everyone can say that.

Oy!

A.D.D is bad. I was up until 11:30 working on my budget and got back into the office at 6 a.m. Procrastination is NOT a good thing. I sure hope I learned my lesson!!

I know nothing for months then two in 1 day!

I think I have A.D.D. today. I am trying really hard to crank out a budget but it’s just not working. Maybe I need to get up from my desk and stretch my legs for a bit? Perhaps food might help my tired brain focus…Maybe I’m tired? I think I stayed up too late last night. In fact I know I did. I made the unwise decision of taking at 2 hour nap on the couch Sunday afternoon and then not exercising until 7 pm. Not that exercise is bad but when you start later you have more energy and you don’t sleep. Not sure how the exact science behind works but I’m sure it’s true. Either that or it’s an urban ledged and I read it on the internet.

Today is a weird day for sure. I can’t focus. My mind won’t stop running in a bazillion different directions. Unfortunately, none of those directions are toward my budget. I think I’m going to have to work late tonight to make up for it… I had weird news, followed by a weird reaction to weird news. Weird events took place at one of the properties I manage (weird as in people getting it on in the parking lot right next to my car). Yeah. I want to burn my eyes out of their sockets lol. It’s like the day of weirdness…gotta love Monday’s!

The silence ends

I know I haven’t blogged in like a year. So now the silence is broken!

And that in a nutshell has been my life. Minus a few things here and there ;o) Hopefully I blog more often now that a lot of stress from my old job is gone. That’s really the main reason I stopped. I was so stressed out and mentally drained that I didn’t want anything to do with the computer when I got home.

Anyway, I love you guys and I’ll try to keep in touch more!

Thanksgiving 2007

I made it home through the snow to Denver to celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday with my family. The Holdaway, Glenn. Brown Thanksgiving was a huge success this year! We enjoyed a delicious meal from Mimi's Cafe and enjoyed the usual Holdaway festivities as we stuffed ourselves silly. The best part is that no one had to clean up! YAY!!

I hope you and your family have a wonderful holiday as well!

We love you!!
