I have a new web design client!

Should be a fun project, too. It's for an aviation consulting business, so I get to design something completely different from what I've done in the past. My contact found me through the C&J Trailways site -- guess he'd looked at some other local design services first, then found they wanted upwards of $5000 for design. Yikes! So he got in touch with me, instead :) Plus, he paid everything up front -- excellent for the checking account. But it does put more virtual pressure on me -- it's extra incentive for me to do a really good job. He is looking for something clean and professional; hopefully, I can deliver! I've sent him a preliminary design, and have been checking my mail every 5 minutes since then. Argh.

Cheerios and milk

Sophie's newest brilliant idea: put cheerio in mouth, nurse, repeat. At least she's not biting...

Also, my lower left eyelid has been twitching for the last 90 minutes. Cut it out, already! Argh!

Ooooh, happy Friday the 13th!

Heh. Like that means anything.

We're going to Washington, DC, in 10 days! They're sending David to do testing on August 24-26, so we'll drive down on the 23rd (his birthday), stay for 3 days, then drive back on the 27th. Sounds like a decent-length stay; not too long, but long enough to get in the major museums without boring Stephen. I imagine we'll spend the most time in the National History (trains) and Air & Space museums, and hopefully will get to the Natural History and Zoo, too. I also want to see the Cathedral again -- went the last time we were there, right after 9/11, and it was gorgeous. I'd *really* like to hear an organ recital there, but I don't think we'll be there at the right time. Our last trip (also when David was doing testing) was early November, 2001, so the whole city was in lock-down mode. Half of the gov't. buildings were off-limits, both because of the 9/11 events and the anthrax scare afterwards. I imagine they're more or less back to normal now... right?

Stephen's been all about "I have a idea!" lately. Usually followed by "Let's go to the park!" Or "let's watch TV!" Hee.
