Sprinkles, sparkle and hospitals

I am guilty of the neglecting this fun, virtual sanctuary of mine for real life. After moaning about my lack of social life, the last 10 days have been crazy - good and bad. Here's what I've been up to:
  • Our big anniversary dinner with the whole family (about 25 people)
  • A 50th anniversary celebration for a family friend's of ours - the pre-dinner speeches revealed a lot of previously unknown information about the special couple
  • Spending some quality time with my parents, who were down for a visit - actually my daughter monopolized them
  • A two year old's birthday party at a 100 year old club - I had one of the toughest workout's of my life running after my daughter and nephew all over the massive park
  • A house warming party - great business networking opportunity
  • A film premier to launch my cousin's new movie theater chain - the movie was cliche, however it was fun to dress up a bit, plus the sound system was great
  • A visit to the emergency room when the little one suddenly started running a high fever and screaming that her tummy hurts - we had a traumatic ultrasound session interspersed with bouts of vomiting, followed by a suppository. Not the best day   
All this clubbed with 12 hour (at a minimum) work days, makes for a pretty exciting life. I could start getting used to all the glamour and glitz, obviously sans the hospital visit. Sadly, all I have lined up for the month of July is a 6th birthday party for my nephew and the official media launch of our business, which is not as glamorous as it sounds and just means more work.
I have such bouts of activity (apart from the work part, which is pretty standard) only once in 3 or 4 months. So I'm expecting things to go back to the boring old status quo soon.

  1. Hi, visiting from SITS. Doesn't it always happen that way? You get invited to a half dozen events in a short period, followed by a dry spell. I'm sure after all that activity a few days rest will be welcomed.

  5. Karen @ you just hit the nail on the head. Thanks for stopping by.

    Penny @ the premier was a blast, finished at 2 am! Thanks for the visit, will be returning the favour.

    Mwa @ the hospital visit was horrible, never going back to that particular ER again. The rest of it was so cool (do I sound like I'm 12?)

    Sarah @ it was the good kind of busy. Thanks, hope you enjoyed your long weekend.
