To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment. - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Today is a good day!

Today Joe loves me...

more than normal.

We won this job that I wrote a proposal for BACK IN APRIL (when I almost "retired")... and so in one day we are up $10.6 million!

Yea! That's why I went to college... I'd been asking myself that question a lot lately.

I am pretty sure I could ask for whatever I want from him right now... but, I better decide quick, the work day is almost over... and I am not sure how long the high is going to last.

I am thinking I want a boat! Too grandiose???

PLUS... I got to talk to my sister-in-law and my 2-year-old neice Izzy... which is even better than a boat! (But, don't worry, I am still going to ask for the boat!)

If you get the boat, I think you should zip up the coast and see us in Monterey! We didn't end up coming down there for Thanksgiving as planned...=( Nice work on the proposal!

WOW Ali! I always knew you were an ASSet to the company... but 10.6 mill? That's some good work!

Amanda - the boat and I will be there soon. How much longer are you guys going to be in Monterey? I need to meet the new guy and see the pixie.

Lori - Thanks!

We'll be here until at least July but probably until the end of next year. I keep telling Jonny how many fun things there are to do in Southern California, but I have yet to impress him...

Amanda - try this one "Jonny remember how hard I cried when you told me that you were going to join the military AND when I was birthing both of your children??? - I'd really like to see my friend Ali in Southern California..." I really think it will work. Also, my roommate is gone the 14th - forever, so you guys can stay with me in my house... for free. Plus, there's great shopping here (for Christmas). Let me know how he takes it!
