it's friday!
Which doesn't really mean much in terms of how 8-5ers think of it, as I'll be working most of the weekend... but I'm working on the FUNNEST project, so it's not that bad!! That and it's (unfortunately) a somewhat long overdue project, so it feels GREAT to have it moving forward again!!This poor client got the brunt of us starting and then no sooner did several delaying factors happen: Christmas (and simultaneously my feeling pretty damn depressed from all my December stress), and my taking a much needed break and slowly seeping back into the year (anxious that it might take me back to a deep dark place). Once I was ready to roll again, we made some great progress - I did four photoshoots, revised the illustration and had almost completely finished the animation and then DUN DUN DUN: Wouldn't ya know it shortly afterwards my Powerbook HD died & ate up about 5 hours of work! I was pretty disheartened about that, and the whole PBHDCrash caused a snowball effect like a 10-car-pile up of all my client work, which on top of I had the rush to prepare for being out of the office for my Cozumel trip, which was only the beginning of my being out of the office for almost all of the last 3 weeks! *oy!* Needless to say, I'd been absolutely guilting and freaking to high heaven over having to have it delayed this much. I am all about staying on top of projects & deadlines and I don't take delays like this lightly. So again I repeat with much enthusiasm that it is AWESOME to have this rolling!! I hope to have it mostly finished up by next week & I can't wait to show you all!

Random notes:
I had a teeny sore throat at the beginning of the week, which led to a teeny bit of snot, which led to a teeny bit of coughing, and here it is Friday & it's pretty much gone! wahoo!! I have new faith that my immune system kicks ass now that I've been taking vitamins, working out & eating so healthy all the time. yay!
I got this email about an event going on @ the Nob Hill Masonic this weekend called Black Sorority Fraternity Council at SFSU Presents the 8th Annual Step Competition. So, doesn't this just sound like they're all up on stage seeing who can do a better aerobic step class? ha! I picture them all on stage with headbands, leotards and those 24 hour Reebok Steps. Who will be the victorious Stepper Extraordinaire!?
Are you listening to the Bagel Radio Friday Live Show? :)
My good friend Justyn & his wife (who you may recall from the photos from their Nashville Wedding I went to last fall!) are in town! I'm very excited to see them, our mutual friend Johnny D, and my two girlfriends Holly and Ali. We're all going out for a yummy dinner tonite!
My workout today was nothing short of FANTASTIC. Ya know those workouts where you come out feeling euphoric? I sweat my butt off on the elliptical reading the last of Sedaris' new Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim, actually laughing out loud on more than one occasion.
I'm trying to find a good recipe that will help me make the Horseradish Encrusted Salmon I had at Moonshine in Austin. It was so dreamy!!
Tonite is Metric (which I hope Ali has our tickets to, cuz I don't have em!) & tomorrow night: Clap Your Hands Say Yeah! yay!
