Yesterday the misses was hired as the Director of Social Media for her Doctors plastic surgery practice and skin care line. She received the email around 2:30 right when we were headed out for teacher conferences but was deservedly excited! Yea for her, everyone should call her to congratulate her. I’ll let her tell you more about her duties and her new position. On top of that, two days or so ago, she was selected as a board member for the Colorado Women’s Foundation! This is a really prestigious national organization that empowers young girls and she’ll now join a group of a bunch of fun ladies. What a week for her, great job!
The only thing that could top that (for me anyhow) was that yesterday morning when I was in Boulder meeting with a friend, we were talking about a possible trip to Germany for Pro Wein in March, which is the annual German wine fair. I told her I was so bummed as I didn’t fly enough miles last year for the first time in 8 years to keep my Premier Executive status. Laura immediately said that one of the perks of her being a 1K (the highest level on United) is that she can make one person of her choice, also a 1K! So about ten minutes later, I officially became a 1K! Whoo hoo! Those of you that fly a lot understand how huge this is. They or now “we” have all kinds of perks that the average peasant doesn’t have! I’m pretty excited and am now looking forward to flying soon.
Now to the day. We had teacher conferences yesterday at 3pm. Both boys are excelling as we would expect. The youngest ones teacher said she wished she had a whole classroom of Ty’s while the oldest guys teach said he’s not only understanding his work but being able to explain it and is helping others, we were very proud.
We took the kids to California Pizza Kitchen as a reward for their great performances. Mac and cheese and pizza for them and salads for us.
Today we were supposed to go to a pain management doctor in Boulder for the misses head but after checking them out on HealthGrades, ( an internet site that unbiasedly rates doctors) we’re going to cancel the appointment. There were a number of disturbing testimonials from former patients that just didn’t feel right. On top of that, the misses is not sure how or if we were officially referred or if it was just a suggestion from someone in the office up in Vail as our doctor was on vacation. So we’re putting it all on hold until we can talk to Dr. Corenman himself. Like the misses says, it’s not going to hurt her anymore to wait another week and what if these people screw her up more! I still have another 9am meeting up there so I’ll be off early.
While I’m in Boulder the misses will be working on the rest of the remodel which is wrapping up at the dermatologists office. She’s done a great job there and it’s all starting to come together.
Being Superwoman, she also made the youngest guys Valentines Day box when we made it home from dinner. It’s a 3 foot tall “creeper” which is a character from a game called Minecraft that all the kids play on the computer. Hopefully she can post pictures.
Well it’s about 4:45 and Mojo woke me early as I think he’s itchy from being at the groomer but he’s sleeping fine now, maybe he just wanted breakfast. Oh well, I can get to the gym and be back before anyone wakes up.
I skipped the Big O’s speech as if you’ve seen one, you’ve seen them all. More big government, more spending, more taxes. How can this guy and many people believe that government has the answer to everything. All throughout history, this just has not been the case. We still can’t believe people bought his bull the second time around. He was the only Pres ever in history to get re-elected with the economy in the state it was in. He’s a talker alright. I’ll spare you all on politics today as it doesn’t do much good, as far as I know, anyhow. Hopefully some of you are listening and taking a few precautions as it’s not going to get any better anytime soon.
Time to go, hope everyone is well. Make sure to congratulate the misses on her big week, and best of all, she’s the best Mom and wife anyone could ask for!
God Bless
