Hey! Are you guys still around? lalalalala. ::looks around::

Really?

That’s so sweet.

So, here’s what’s going on in my life –

Work: I’ve been working on a multi-multi-million dollar deal as part of a negotiation team. Guess who has never, ever been on a negotiation team before? (Yes, that would be me.) We are signing two contracts – with two very different suppliers. ONE of them got signed last week. The day after pulling the all-nighter. The all-nighter was necessary to finish reviewing and commenting on 17,263 legal documents.

Our target is to sign the other one next week. Oh mah holy hell.

Family: Mr. Hot and Shortman are good. Poopy the Puppy is loving the Spring-ish weather around here.

Home: Oh, yea! I’m actually home in Michigan this week. There are PACKED BOXES in my garage and all of the bookshelves are cleaned out. Mr. Hot is preparing this place for showing to prospective buyers. It looks weird. We’ll be painting Shortman’s room this weekend. Goodbye Texas Rangers color scheme.

—- I’m not going to make any promises about updating over the next couple of weeks, but I’ll keep my eyes open for SOMETHING funny. Because the work stuff? Not falling into that particular category. —-

It’s only Tuesday. Keep that in mind.

1. I’m way too fucking old to pull an all-nighter.
2. Living in a third-floor walk-up is nice – except when the laundry room is in the basement.
3. It sucks that there are no new episodes of House to keep me occupied.
4. I can not keep up with email these days.
5. I complain too much. Lately.
6. Chocolate frozen yogurt is worth the calories.
7. There’s a reason they call it “beauty sleep”. No sleep = UGLY.

—- So I’m going to go remedy that now. G’night. —-

• Spending the entire weekend with Mr. Hot. In Chicago. This city is so much awesomer* with him in it.
• The hours and hours spent working recently are starting to pay off – we’re rawking this project.
• Krissa. She sent me all of the Janet Evanovich Stephanie Plum books and they are cracking my ass up.
• Having the windows open.
• A nap in the recliner.

—- *Shush. Awesomer is SO a word. —-

Oh mah holy hell y’all. It’s been days since I’ve been around the blogosphere. Between the 14 hour days at the office and dragging myself back to my apartment, I’ve barely managed to do more than make a sad (oh, so very sad) attempt at dinner before the bed starts calling my name.

Right now, (and it’s 9:20 p.m. on Wednesday night), I’m waiting for my frozen burrito to finish heating up (and DAMN. I just remembered that I didn’t wrap it in foil like the directions said, so who knows if it’ll even be edible…). Even bullets are beyond me.

Just know that I’m thinking of you guys. I’ll be back when time permits.
