Life is like a movie...

Either it sucks and you can only pick a few positive-sounding words out of context to put in your ad, or you have long quotes that paint a rich, colorful, textured account of the whole thing, and why it's worth paying attention to.

Strive for the big reviews.

Isn't it incredible how these enormous, ultra significant moments in our lives can be distilled into a few minutes, or even just a few sentences?

Maybe things won't seem so bad if I just think of it that way.

A difficult task.

A long strange trip....

And it's not over yet! Of course, it won't be over till my heart gives out.

In the meantime, it was good to see all my Northern California loved ones, or at least, as many as I could. I would have seen more in Sacramento, but Mom ended up having to get her gall bladder removed earlier than anticipated. That's OK though, because she's feeling much better! It was just a very different visit than I had anticipated, though it was a joy to be able to spend more time with her.

Camp and Sons was terrific, as always, though one of the organizers was injured... she'll pull through though, and safety measures are being put in place to ensure that it doesn't happen again! Everyone really pulled together to help her out, and we are all SO thankful that it wasn't any worse....

So now I'm back in LA and I'm on quite the job hunt. I feel confident that I should know where I'm going within the next week or so. Hooray!
