Whew!
Just got back from pimping...er...ah, showing off our app to a room of potentially interested folks. There was lots of interest (although they were as impressed by the uber-cool mini-projector I brought to show it with as they were with the application but whatever, beggars can't be finicky or however that goes...) and I am happy (thrilled) that it is DONE! I also got some fancy new leads vis a vis this other huge part of the upcoming development phase so I'm pretty tickled right this second.
Now then, where were we??
Hullo folks! Long time no hear, eh? Gosh, It's is rare, I think that I feel "overwhelmed" I mean I always feel tired and like I've got fifteen tons of stuff to do every single second of my existence but, generally I'm pretty confident in my ability to get stuff done - nawhattamsayin'? The last week, though, sheesh, butts were kicked, my friends, butts were seriously kicked!
Anyway, where did we leave off with this little narrative? Ah yes, the Boo events. Boo events were awesome. On Thursday eve the kid and the rest of the 1st grade group got on stage and played air guitar to "We will rock you!" by Queen (which, seriously, if the very idea's not bringing tears to your eyes then you haven't the faintest idea what Christmas is really about!) then we all danced around like maniacs for a bit before heading out into the rainy night home to our super comfy (now that i fixed the heater- yay, me!) house. Friday was the official school winter assembly wherein my child played a drum and spoke (spake?) a line from a poem about Kwanzaa that her class had composed. Pretty damn cool, I'm tellin' ya! I like having a kid.
Saturday we had yet another show, this time in Boo's Acrobatics class which also was pretty ridiculously awesome; followed by brief appearance at Miss Tail's Hannukah Party where Boo throughly schooled me in Dreidel before the lights went out and we said our goodbyes -- then, yesterday, we went ice skating! Yup, that's right Chick strapped blades to her feet and ventured out onto a surface that was slicker than a plunging larid (e.g the Artic Tern) who got caught in the Valdez oil spill (dunno where that came from, sorry though... bonus link). The Boo's little buddy, Eli had his B-day party at the Yerba Buena Ice Skating rink and I just have to say, my little Boo-ster is such a natural! I, however, am not. Luckily noone fell so I wasn't really required to do much more than escort the kid slowly around the rink. I do have to admit though that she managed to end the day skating on her own, fairly far away from the wall. I... well, let's just say, I pretty much knew every scratch, dip and break that railing had to offer and couldn't probably sketch a farily accurate diagram of such by memory....
Was supposed to hang with Bendy Girl for a bit on Sunday but those plans had to be scuttled do to sudden skating/scheduling conflicts. I, of course called to apologize/grovel effusively and was informed that I had missed my one opportunity to get close to her as she had plans (big plans) for the rest of the month. Being nothing if not persistent, however, I managed to wheedle a mini date out of her this Friday eve (Whoo Hoo!) -- I promised to drive her around in my truck. Never, I repeat, never underestimate the appeal of a red ford Ranger with a customized rear bed on members of the fairer sex! Especially the butch ones, you'd think they'd be immune to it's myriad charms but dammit even boy-girls find it difficult resisting it's basic appeal!
