Its Tuesday already

Lily's baptism was Sunday. Either I am oblivious to turmoil or there wasn't any. All those families, step families and extended families. It was nice how everyone was respectful and nice.

I spent yesterday at a Homeland Security Summit. It was informative and very scarey. I recommend everyone have three days worth of disaster kit on hand. It could take that long or longer to get help if something should happen. Still it seems the local, state and feds are nbot communicating. Oh, they have plenty of technology out there but theres not alot of interoperability going on. This disaster piece I'm learning about is so exciting. Too bad theres no money for it since its all going to the Dept of Defense for war.

I sat with a woman I would like to work for. I wanted to work for her a couple of years ago but the timing wasn't good. She's a big picture person and I do well putting pieces together to make it all come together and make the vision work. I wasnt so badly to do volunteer management--its where my skills are. It was great to have her tell me she wants to hire me. Lets see how it shakes out cause we both want this project I've been working on for two years to continue working. At this point tho it is put together and now the daily druge work I hate is what needs to be done. Let someone else do the data entry.

I'm heading to the LV this weekend and then on to CT for the convention there. We'll be celebrating my 10th while I'm there. Its an amazing anniversary for me--10 years of walking into the rooms of Alanon and being given tools to change my life when I thought they'd be telling me how to change him and him and ... Who would have thought someone like me would stick. But I have. I'm so grateful. All my life I wanted someone to take care of me instead of me having to take care of everyone else. What I learned was how to take care of me and to let them take care of themselves and let go and let live. Them and me.

Heard on NPR last night about Blooks and awards for Blooks. Cool.
