My Life as a 44-year-old College Student
October 19, 2009
Paul departed this morning on a business trip to LA and is beginning the arduous task of fundraising. This is always an interesting stage in a business. We’ll definitely contribute and gain additional shares of the company, though in these tough economic times, how much cash is really out there???
It’s my lovely niece Noelle’s birthday. She is 14 today! She is also my Goddaughter and we’re all celebrating with her tonight with a birthday dinner at Carelli’s Italian Restaurant http://www.carellis.com/ in Boulder. I’m going to be larger tomorrow – YUM!
Marlo and I wanted to be the first birthday wishers and sang her Happy Birthday on the drive in to school.
My sister later told me that we were not the first to wish her a happy birthday and that Noelle’s friend Hannah stayed up to 12:00AM to leave Noelle a birthday message, plus sent her a birthday text. Well, she definitely has us beat by a few hours J
Marlo did not have rehearsal today, so she went to the library after school until I arrived after my last class. It worked out rather well; she completed a lot of her homework before actually coming home, which worked out nicely with our dinner plans and all.
We had an hour and a half turn time from the time we got home to the time we were expected at the restaurant. I had another headache and rested for 30 minutes before getting ready. Once up, I felt a bit better and signed Noelle’s card, packaged her gift and hit the road with Marlo.
Noelle loved the Russian egg pendant that I bought her in St. Petersburg this summer. I paired it with a beautiful gold chain and she wore it immediately.
By the time we came home, I was exhausted and bagged homework for tomorrow morning.
