Updatey-like

It seems I've been busier than ever, and have failed to blog about it. So here's a quick update:

I've been doing a four day work week. That's four ten-hour days. It's awesome. Except for the getting up early part! I alternate having Monday and Friday off, so every other weekend I have four days off in a row. What do I do with all of these extra days off? Clean, mostly. And go to the movies. Oh how I love going to the movies, especially when they are not kid movies!

Last week I found out that Dining with Monkeys is a finalist in the Memphis Flyer's Best of Memphis Best Blog category!! It's been my dream to depose Paul Ryburn for years. And while I'm pretty sure he still won, I'm glad to be on his heels. Thanks to everyone that voted for me!

This blog also won an award itself--the Best Local Blog, Memphis category in Nickelodeon's Parents' Picks Awards. I'm not quite sure how I managed that, but thanks to whoever nominated me!

I spent most of the weekend feeling sick and tired, but thanks to Emergen-C, I believe I nipped getting a full on cold/flu in the bud and was able to attend Saturday's amazing Rock-n-Romp. I'll be back to tell you all about it...
