And the beat goes on.

I went to Washington for my big interview which I think went well. Well enough to get invited back at least. I got to stay the night in a hotel. A quiet room with a bed and time to sleep! Big, soft, made up bed. All. To. Myself!!! Didn't want to spend $59 on a burger (whaaaaaaa????) so I went out, got a slice and headed back!!

Of course, I am not abandoning my consulting gigs just in case. Going to San Fransisco on Sunday to meet with clients. Taking the redeye back to save on the hotel which they can't cover due to regulations!!  Moi, cheap! I used miles to upgrade ... swanky!!!

When I was away I called home and Pip said "where ARE you mamma?" which made us all fall about laughing. They don't really seem too bothered but then they do have a wonderful and caring nanny. Supernanny came in the other day and she had hand sown the kids summer pj's!

How're YOU all? There are some lovely posts from Will and Mo about their pregnancy hitting the happy place. There's great photo's from Suzanne of the kids waiting for grandma.  There's even our military friend pregnant with twins. Again. Wonderful. Glorious. Amazing.

  2. I'm keeping the hope for the Washington gig...second interviews are always a good sign, eh?! I've always wondered about the excessive cost of room service. Like, more than a 5-star restaurant. $15 for a 2-cup pot of coffee? $59 for a hamburger? Unbelievable. What gives?

    I LOVE that Pip wondered where you were. Toddlers are a fount of sweet, innocent questions.

    As for me, I'm in the "just biding my time" phase. Ugh. Coping, but never comfortable for a moment anymore. And still preparing.
