It seems silly to blog when I see my primary readership regularly. Mom and Nana already know we tried to go to the tulip festival, but instead spent all day looking at PACCAR trucks and eating salmon waiting for the rain to pass before giving up and going home. They know that because they were there. Even the stuff we have been up to that didn't include being with the family, they know about because we see them often enoguh to talk about it. Cool, right?
But, this means I have to come up with other content for blogging. Matt is off at another race today. He'll be leaving town next weekend for a work trip (to South Carolina and Ohio, he is not excited). Work is getting a little busier for me as we approach a major deadline, but only so busy that my manager finally said it's time for us all to start working a couple extra hours a week. To me, the difference between 40 and 45 hours a week is negligible, but I understand that they have been very cautious to ask these things, since at this time last year the entire team was regularly working 80-100 hours a week.
Cooking for the shelter at The Landing has gotten me excited to find some new recipes for cooking for smaller groups. So far that hasn't translated into making food, but I think it might. Speaking of the other blog, the project has been going along ok. It's been fun for me to try to find new venues to get involved in the community, but it's pretty clear that it's a big goal, with a (comparatively) short timeline. Raising $30,000 might take me longer than a year, unless I can find more clever ways of getting other people involved. So far we are approaching 10% in 2 months (awesome!), but at that rate it will take me closer to two years to complete the project. Of course, it would still be worth doing, even at that pace. But, I still wonder what I can do to get there faster. Anyway, if you've been volunteering/donating, please let me know because I am keeping records so I can see how this project is coming together.
