Busy Busy Bee

Today was another busy but productive day.  I got up early (7:30 am) to go babysit for Eli and Talia while Shosh went to the doctor.  Talia was pretty fussy, but it was only for a couple of hours, so it was fine.  Eli was in such a goofy mood, it was the cutest thing!  My favorite moment was when I was trying to get Talia to stop crying, and I kept saying "What's the matter, Talia?", and after a while, I said it one time and Eli repeated, "whassa matter, Talia?"  I cracked up, lol, he is SO CUTE! :-)

Anyway, after Shosh got home, we hung out for a little bit, and then I came home.  I got home around 1:15 or so, ate lunch, and then relaxed for a little bit.  I decided that if I didn't hear back from Nora by 3:30, I was going to go ahead and finish Julia's montage - put it on DVD and everything.  Of course, I never heard back from her, so I went ahead and did it anyway, then sent her an email asking if she and Julia had had a chance to look at the final montage yet and also asking if I could come drop the DVD off tomorrow afternoon (I'm babysitting again tomorrow, and Joel and Shosh's house is about halfway out to where they live, so I'd rather go right after babysitting than have to double back later in the evening).  I said in the email that if I didn't hear back from her, I would assume that it's fine.  I haven't heard back yet...we'll see if I have anything from her in the morning.  If not, I'm totally just gonna go anyway, and if she's not home, I'll leave it in the mailbox :-P

Marcus got home before I finished the DVD.  It took FOREVER to burn for some reason, but it finally finished, and I was able to create the label for it and everything.  Marcus helped me out by creating an invoice for the project (we had a little argument because he wanted me to add in more stuff, and I told him no, because it wasn't what Nora and I had discussed, and he thinks I'm short-changing myself, but whatever), which I also printed out to take with me tomorrow.  Then we ate dinner and watched the Braves game.

After the game, I got a facebook event invitation for my 10-year high school reunion.  I am SO bummed out that I won't be able to go, because it's over Thanksgiving weekend, and we'll be in Florida this year (we've been in Maryland the last two years - we have a two years and two years arrangement, it's a little complicated).  The nostalgia junkie in me has been looking forward to this reunion pretty much since graduation...and now I can't go :-(  Although I have already gotten a couple of facebook comments from friends who also can't go, so that makes me feel a LITTLE better, that some of the people I'd want to see if I went aren't going to be there anyway.

Then Marcus and I played cards for a while.  It's been a long time since we've done that, it was really nice (and fun!).  I kicked his butt at gin rummy and crazy eights, and then he kicked my butt at casino (even though I skunked him the first round) - pretty much on par for us, haha ;-)

I think I'm going to head to bed early (as in, as soon as I finish writing this), because I'm exhausted and I have another long and busy day tomorrow.
