Happy Birthday!   Happy Birthday, Mom!  

Hope you have a kickass year!

We had a busy and productive weekend.  We hired a book-keeper, which is a good thing, as we're so incredibly confused about everything.  That takes a load off of Adam, who won't have to spend his evenings and mornings trying to make Quickbooks his friend.  Also, we met with a friend of Adam's who will be joining our business soon.  He should begin training next week.  Progress is good.

In other random news, people keep calling our business line and asking for Elvis.  I swear I'm not making this up.   

On the home front:  housework is dangerous.  I managed to sprain two toes while cleaning house the other day, because I am clever like that.   I actually missed a step and wiped out onto our slate floor, which is possibly one of the most unforgiving surfaces to wipe out onto.   I experienced a broad range of emotions, starting with rage, pausing a minute at self-pity, and ending with gratitude that no one actually witnessed my fall, and I didn't have to see their expressions of horror at me sprawled out on the slate, or have to watch their horror turn to mirth and see them turn their faces away and snicker, because that's exactly what I would have done if I was in their shoes.

  2. I’ve told you and told you and told you that housework is dangerous! But will you listen? No! You won’t find me mopping floors everyday - well, okay, we don’t actually have any floors that aren’t carpeted - but, nonetheless! It’s dangerous.

    You need to take up new hobbies, safer hobbies. Like making aluminium shoes. Or jumping off the roof, while flapping your arms, yelling, “I can fly! I can fly!” I am recommending blindfolding Taylor during this second endeavor.
