Ain't no sunshine when she's gone....
Wow, I am in desperate need of an update. It's been so long that I keep putting it off even more. I don't even know where to start. Obviously my last post wasn't too informative, so my last actual post was May 14th. So I guess I'll start from there.
Workin' It: So our new director at work lasted all about 3 weeks. Syanora! I had been filling in as Acting Director since then. My RVP started giving me more and more responsibilities, a new phone, etc and as of July 1st I got a promotion to Program Director. Both exciting and scary at the same time. It's a lot of responsibility, but I feel so lucky to have moved up so fast. Oh yeah, and it's more money! =>
We are family: Dad is an official California resident. He lived with us for about a month, but got his own place about 2 weeks ago. Been spending a lot of time with him, helping him get his place together, buy a computer. Since he's been here the fam's gone to Six Flags!!!, LA Zoo, Los Feliz street festival...fun times.
Ash just left for Europe yesterday. My sister, the jetsetter...Mexico, Europe. She'll be gone 3 1/2 weeks. I still cannot believe she is backpacking around Europe. Crazy.
My mom has been sober for the past 2 1/2 weeks. Very proud of her. It's all come from the fact that she's having problems with her liver really, but I'll take what I can get. I'm not gonna say I'm not skeptical about her staying sober because we've been down this road so many times before, but I have to be optimistic. It would be great to spend some time with her sober when I come home. I'm gonna keep hoping for that.
Be my friend: Tawny is here!!! Yeah! It's so nice to have her here. We've gone to the beach, done some shopping, saw SATC, karaoking, lunching, dinnering...nice. It had been so long since we had hung out really, like high school, so it's kinda like we're building our friendship back up. I feel like a slacker because I barely ever call to hang out though. It's really pure laziness. When I get off work I just feel like going home and doing nothing.
SF Outside Lands: In August Larry, Ash, George,and me are flying to San Fran for the Outside Lands music fest in Golden Gate Park. I am so stoked!! It'll be my first time in San Francisco and my first music fest. Jack Johnson, Tom Petty, Ben Harper, Regina Spektor, Beck, Radiohead, etc etc. Cannot wait!!!
It's def looking to be a good summer. Turtles/Badfinger/Animals concert, home visit in three weeks, Outside Lands.....and whatever else comes my way. I will try, try, try to be a better updater just in case there is actually anyone who reads this.

Oh yeah and I actually read a book in June. Really good.
