Only now I’m playing catch up and losing miserably.

What sucks more than a month’s worth of dirty, stinky, slimy, horsehair-covered, pubescent camp laundry? A computer that crashes on its ass just when you have loads of goodness to share.

Since it has been two whole weeks since I’ve posted, hows about a little recap?

I took my 15 year old to see Mary Poppins at The Kennedy Center a couple Saturdays ago and it was amazing. Seriously, the whole reason for “Jolly Holiday” in the title is because even after two weeks I am still waking up with that song in my head. I loved it. My 15 year old loved it. If you are in or around Washington DC, you need to take the family for musical treat. The show runs through August 22nd. You can thank me later.

I had a blissful mentoring session with Marta Locklear. For three days I tried to be a human sponge in order to soak up all of her brilliance. There was also a lot of walking through fields and sweating involved. One aspect of my lofty goal structure was to not only learn a million mad skills from Marta but to also become her friend. So, even though I was a stinky pig most of the time, hopefully she dug me.

I still have gobs (yes, that’s a technical term) of images to edit and share with you so stay tuned for those as well as some changes that are in the works around here.

Before I was able to exhale after all of the Marta magic that I sucked in, I was on a flight the very next day to San Francisco to take part in the fabulous (and best conference I have attended) Yahoo Mother Board Summit. I haven’t been able to download those pictures yet because when I got home I found that my desktop (you know the one with all of my editing software) had crashed and frozen. Still working on that as I type (from my teeny weeny laptop).

The morning after I returned from CA, I picked up my baby from summer camp. *cue copious amounts of aforementioned dirty laundry* Only days later and still not unpacked, that baby tuned 11 years old. Her birthday request? A quiet day a home with family, spaghetti for dinner and a HoHo as a cake. Oh yeah, and we finally saw Eclipse. (Can I get arrested for commenting on the amount of beefcake in that film? I think yes.)

And now with my birthday only days away, I am offering gift ideas. Well, just one idea. I want you to come to my house and help me get organized. Not kidding. And yes, I’ve already asked my mother. She’s coming too.
