Vicki is having fun – and writing about it!
My friend, Micah, is trying to get his big break in the music business. Since today is his birthday, I thought it would be fun to bake him a cake shaped like a guitar. I think it turned out really good – it looks just like this one – and will be carrying it over to his house after work for a surprise.
My girlfriend, Diana, just sent me a text that she and Jeremy are engaged! How wonderful for her, and for him!
I know she has been dating this guy since her senior year in college. They wanted to wait and get their own careers established before making that big commitment. So I guess that now everything is really working out well for them both and they have decided to take the next big step. Congrats, Diana and Jeremy!
One of my friends is having a birthday today. I know she writes a blog – she has been writing one much longer and more regularly than I ever have. So I thought a quick Happy Birthday to Wendy is in order. We got a cake for her at work, and we will be having that in the Board Room after lunch today. I love birthdays at work! They put everyone in a good mood. Or maybe its the cake?
My girlfriend’s very first movie line is, “Well, hello ! I’ve been waiting for you to call all day.” LOL
We have a 4 day convention in Nashville this week, so I’m driving up there tonight. The convention was going to be at the Opryland hotel, but it got flooded in May when Nashville had that terrible time with the Cumberland River flooding the downtown and hundreds of homes and businesses along the river. So we are having the convention at the Renaissance Hotel instead.
The best part is that I will get to see one of my college friends while I’m there. Alexa works in the Nashville suburbs and is going to drive downtown to meet me for lunch on Friday. I wish we had more time together, but this convention is a pretty full schedule.
Well, I’ve discovered Facebook. I guess I’m not an early adaptor, as I heard about it a long time ago but didn’t feel the need to sign up until just recently. Now that I am on board, I love it! I have found al ot of people from previous jobs, high school – even summer camp as a teen. It’s great to reconnect with all this cool people from my past and find out what they are doing now.
This is a shout out to my friend, Jenny Corbett. We used to live in the same neighborhood and although she is a little older than me, I remember a lot about her and her family. I would love to gt together with her and talk about the good old days. So, maybe putting that in writing here on my blog will reinforce my level of commitment to make that happen!
I’m headed for Nashville this afternoon for the Tin Pan South festival. This is the week that Nashville honors the songwriters. There are shows all over town at all the different kinds of show venues for gatherings of all the great and the new songwriters.
I have an all access pass, so I can go to any show that I want. This is going to be so much fun! Plus I get to see one of my Facebook friends, Wendy, while I’m in town. This is going to be a great week!
