I am breathless with the amount of things I have to do lately. It’s non-stop go go go from the moment my alarm shrills in my ear until the moment I switch off the light and burrow down beneath the covers again. Every day is filled; work is crazy busy and the evenings are no better. Something every minute that is calling, pushing, pulling, demanding my attention and my time.<\/p>\n
I just wrote out a list of things I’ve done today, mostly to impress you, then realized no one really cares except me, what I’ve accomplished on my to-do list, and deleted it again.<\/p>\n
Tomorrow evening is the start of our AWC regional conference that our club is hosting. Despite the committee’s disappointment with the total numbers, I know that we will have a good time and be inspired by interesting, energetic women. I am hosting four people at our house tomorrow & Saturday night, displacing my daughter from her bed if she can’t find a friend willing to let her sleep over the 2 nights. Tomorrow is a welcome reception dinner, Saturday and all-day conference, and Sunday I’m dropping my houseguests back off in Malm\u00f6 for a walking tour of the city organized by 2 of our club members and heading, with Anders and the kids, to lunch with his parents.<\/p>\n
Then I have to get packing because Tuesday I leave for Boston! Wheeee!<\/p>\n
Work is so nuts right now that I almost don’t want to go. We’ve been, and are still, short-staffed and there are a ton of meetings the weeks I am gone, here in Lund, which means I am missing people and things that it might be important not to have missed. Ah well. Work goes on. <\/p>\n
And besides, I have such great things to look forward to in Boston, besides working with the great American marketing team: seeing Lizardmom again, seeing my Uncle Sam & Aunt Joanne, and SQUAMMING with Elizabeth. Squee!<\/p>\n
And I just got approval to attend a 2-day conference in Amsterdam in October. Anyone there want to meet up for dinner on the 10th?<\/p>\n
Also, how can it be SEPTEMBER already? Holy Holly, Batman, that means it’s only FOUR MONTHS UNTIL CHRISTMAS!<\/p>\n
Zooooooooooom!<\/p>\n
