work

Things have been quite exciting around the Sandor house. First of all, Abe is sleeping through the night again. I thought I was going to self-destruct. He was waking up every 2.5 hours between 10:00 and 6. A couple nights ago, I gave him rice when we had dinner and viola!, he didn't wake the following morning until 5:50. Nice.

I have been working on some wedding invitations for a couple ladies. I don't actually know them; we've never met. But church family is church family. All "my girls" (ladies that were high school staff at LYC in 2006 & 2007) know these two girls quite well. And they're not bridezillas. What a blessing! The coolest part of doing invitations is that I have a vision, ideas for what I want, but trying to put thought to paper is generally not so simple. This week I worked on finding a reliable printer who is willing to help me learn and be very patient. I learned the difference between RGB colors and Pantone colors. IN-credible. I *think* I am going to go with Just-Us printers in Springdale. YES! Brett Justus is client of Andrea's, the loan officer whose portfolio I was responsible for. Good times.

I got a call from Mark Martinez tonight. He used to be the man we worked for at Outback. What a terror. There were definitely moments, hours, days when he made us hate our jobs, sometimes ourselves. But for some reason he has this undying loyalty to his employees (well, those he likes). If you are so lucky to win his favor, you love him reciprocally. Dysfunctional? Yes. But, hey, it's times like these crazy relationships like ours come in handy. He needs someone to do "admin" for the restaurant he recently opened called Louie's. Admin = figuring out tipshares, payroll, scheduling (possibly). It just-so happens that finance is one of those things I am good at. This will give me expertise in the realm of payroll I've never had. It's part-time, and right now is a great time to get started. Mark is on summer break, so he'll watch Abe for the time being. We'll see if it's going to be a blessing or too much of a hassle.

Here's to full nights of sleep, fun projects and possibly a little cash money!
