I've just finished a very stressful three weeks which involved an insane amount of work...no sleep...and much travel. I am getting my life back for the time being. Although my boss asked me what I was doing next week...hopefully he doesn't have anything for me....before he does...I'm going to sleep for 24 hours straight (or try to) and go out and drink irresponsibly.

I did...

Work is killing me right now. I pulled an all-nighter last night to finish a project (maybe fell asleep for an hour) and I have three more to do by the end of the week....oh...and somehow fly to Seattle and back. It looks like I'll be pulling another all-nighter. When does it become dangerous to not sleep? I don't feel tired right now. I just...

My sister has put me in charge of games for my niece's fifth birthday. I haven't organized/participated in a party game that didn't involve clothes coming off or doing shots in many years. I like pinatas...so that is a given, but I need ideas. My sister mentioned my niece wanted to play "pin the princess on the castle". I'm sure that is the Disney/Barbie people...

I've decided to change. I've been grouchy, tired, negative, smart-assy and depressed...mainly because my job is kicking my ass right now. I have a ton of work to do and I'm traveling quite a bit. My best friend at the moment is "Frank" the airport parking shuttle guy (he is genuinely cool though).

I've decided to seek out positive things when they are not evident...

What is wrong with people? I went to see Smokin' Aces last night and in walks this family...husband/wife and six kids. None of the kids were older than 12...the youngest was probably two (However old you are when you need to use a sippy cup...rode in on a stroller). Smokin' Aces is rated "R" for bloody violence, nudity, adult content, drug use, adult language.

I'm...

So I made some money today!!! HBO showed up a day late to film an episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm in my neighborhood and needed to block/use my driveway for their catering setup. They rang the doorbell this morning and offered $350 to use the driveway for five hours. Easy money. Maybe I'll start watching their show.

I'm finally back home after a 6-day roadtrip....forgot to clean the frigde before leaving...the Chinese food that already had a few days on it has grown a beard. Stinks...doesn't even begin to describe it.

So I went to the doctor to cure my illness. They x-rayed my lungs and gave me anti-biotics...and now I feel great. Go figure.

I had to pick a doctor from the list my medical insurance gave me. I picked one at Cedar Sinai because it is close to my house. Didn't realize that I had selected a female doctor...nothing wrong with that...just have never...

I'm am back from Phoenix (for a couple of days)...now I am off to Seattle, Phoenix (again) and Portland...all back-to-back. Some people tell me I'm lucky to have a job that allows me to travel, but it really sucks. All three of those cities are great places to go...but I never have time to do anything fun. I hate that 15 seconds in the morning...

Now I am off to Phoenix for the next week....I hate living in hotels. You never get that relaxed feeling you have when you are home. I guess it isn't a bad place to be this time of year...it could be worse.

This is the time of year my job has me on the road quite a bit....I do find comfort in watching my frequent...
