I’ve been lagging on this site so let’s get you up to date shall we?

My Mother’s Day present was a hit. I put together a slideshow of photos of my sister and I starting from infancy until now. I set the whole thing to music using the Barry Manilow song “I Am Your Child.” Now that I look at that title it kind of sounds like something telling you that I’m the child you gave up for adoption years ago, but it’s nothing like that. It’s a really, really sweet song and it just basically tells your parent that everything that’s good about you came from them.

The tears started to flow the minute it started. Mission Accomplished! I can’t wait for my sister and my aunt and my grandma to see it. I expect full on crying sessions while watching this sucker. I cry every time I look at it.

The one really cool extra about this whole thing is that I scanned all these photos so now I have digital copies of photos of me as a baby and a child. I was adorable if I do say so myself. There’s one great photo of me when I was 4-years-old with my grandpa. I’m going to upload it and get it framed. Good stuff.

After looking through the site that pulls your Flickr photos and them frames them for you, I think I might get even more of those photos done like that. I could have a whole wall of framed photos in my new apartment.

Ah yes, my new apartment. Yep I’m moving out for the third and final time! I’ll be living in the luxury apartments in Concord, just across from BART, in the bigger one bedroom floor plan. I’m really excited about the place, it’s veddy nice and I’m so glad it’s not an 80’s flashback like that place in Walnut Creek.

I’m moving next Thursday and I’ll post photos when everything is all set up. My boss is allowing me to work from home two days a week which will be great.

Obviously the benefits of living with my mom rent-free were great but now that she has a significant other three’s a crowd. There was no way I could stay and it’s better for everyone this way. I will say that at first it threw my plans for one race a month into upheaval, but it’s not that big a deal.

Everything is going to work itself out. Plus I’m not sad about this at all, I’m glad to have my own place again with my own things.
