So my dear sister sent me an email yesterday that started something like this.

Okay, so we’re ready for another update to your blog!!! It’s been almost 2 weeks! So do it!!!

So here you go Jac… I’m going to try and be on the ball and get this damned site updated.

I took a short day at work today since I have to go in over the weekend for a quick b-roll shoot for our friendly press and publicity folks. This particular event is all too much like the whole of my September events in that they have all started with seemingly very small ideas, and ballooned into big fat events. So what began as a plan to tackle a month of a larger number of smaller parties has turned into a plan to execute list of large very involved events. As much as I would like to go into specifics, I’m afraid that’s not info I can go into online. But the coming month holds some very challenging weeks for me, and I’m going to be leaning on everyone around me to keep me sane. …so what got me on that little tangent? Oh right… short day at work today.

So anyway, I will be checking on the set installation tomorrow then going in for the shoot and event on Sunday. There is also some atmosphere art going into some of the common areas of the resort to announce Sunday’s events, so I will be just checking in with my stage managers most of the day. Not a bad gig at all, I just have a feeling we’re going to get several last minute requests to make things happen (this is a very normal thing) that will keep me on my toes.

Here on the home front there is some big news as well. My wonderful girlfriend has a pretty little cat named Sadie. She’s a funny little tabby that sometimes drives Janey to the brink of insanity with midnight pillow urination and sleeping on the clean laundry. But she’s a part of our little family so we have to make sure she is healthy… to that end yesterday we took her to the vet for her last round of shots and various other tests. She’s came away with a clean bill of health and an appointment to be spayed. So early this morning Janey, Sadie, and I ventured back to the Vet to check her in for her big operation. The place we took her to is very nice and feels like a real live doctors office. It’s clean and the people are always very kind. But with all that TLC comes a pretty good sized price tag, so Janey and I teamed up on the bill for this visit. In the end I always remind myself that the peace of mind that Sadie is being well taken care of is worth the few extra dollars. We’ve been to a few other Vets in the last year or so, but we always end up back at this place.

Around 2:00 Janey started to worry about Sadie. When we checked the cat in this morning they told us the operation would be completed around this time and we should get a call confirming that all went well. She waited till about 2:30 and decided to call them. Sadie was still in surgery but all seemed to be going well. By about 3:30 Janey had spoken to the vet once again and all was complete and Sadie was doing just fine. She has to stay overnight, but we will be picking her up around 9:00 AM tomorrow. I’ve never been much of a cat lover, but things are pretty quit around here without Sadie to bug. 🙂 It’ll be nice to have her back.

As much as I have to worry about in the coming month, I can’t stop thinking about the wonderful vacation that Janey and I have planned. Exactly 30 days from today we will be on a plane headed for Walt Disney World in Florida. This trip has been a long time coming, and has taken a lot of scrimping and saving to be able to pull it off. We will be staying in Disney Hotels (not the cheap ones mind you, the super cool deluxe ones) and that is something I have never done before. I’m very excited. I really don’t remember the last time I took more then about 2 days off of work… even more so then that, I can’t think of the last vacation I took that was more then a weekend jaunt that wasn’t family centric. Living away from both our families, it’s hard to justify the expense of travel when it doesn’t involve at least a short stop to see the family. This time it’s just not possible though. We both feel guilty, but in the end I hope everyone understands. This is a trip I’ve wanted to take for years and years… long before my move to work for Disney.

Well I think that is about all that is on my mind for now. I will see if I can get some more things down in ‘ink’ before the weekend is over.

Till next time…
