The Sunday Salon ~ 06.14.07

14 Jun By 13 Comments

The Sunday Salon.comToday has been a preparation for the week to come. On Tuesday I’m heading to the DC area with a couple of my co-workers for a Learning Tree course on Project Management in a Scrum Environment.  Ooo!  I know, exciting stuff, eh?  It actually should be beneficial for my career and it’s always nice to get out of the office for a little while.  So, I’ve spent today and yesterday doing the following:

  • laundry
  • shopping for the girls to ensure that Danny has everything he needs  while I’m gone
  • figuring out what kinds of fun things to bring with me (books, stamping materials, etc.)
  • catching up on the 4Rs Challenge Forum – if you haven’t already joined, today is the last day to do so and be included in my my fun little drawing
  • catching up on some Early Reviewer reviews I needed to finish

Not anything terribly exciting with the exception of finding a fun indie book store and reading 84, Charing Cross Road.

My trip to DC should be fun.  I’m hoping to get the opportunity to go out Wednesday evening with some of my fellow bloggers/tweets : S. Krishna from S. Krishna’s Books, Michelle from GalleySmith, Jenn from Jenn’s Bookshelf, and Deborah from Books, Movies, and Chinese Food.  It should be a great time.  Of course, assuming it all works out, I’ll be blogging about it later this week.

Other exciting things are happening over the next week, too:

  • crows flyingAmy from My Friend Amy is hosting A Summer of Hitchcock, and it sounds incredibly fabulous.  What a fun idea!  It kicks off on Monday with reviews of North By Northwest.  I’ve been too busy to watch this – BOO!  I’m looking forward to reading what others have to say.  I’ll be participating as the summer goes along, though.  Alfred Hitchcock is my favorite director.
  • blogiestaNatasha from Maw Books is hosting a Blogiesta beginning on Friday.  It’s a 48 hour blog-a-thon to help everyone focus on those things they’ve been putting off to improve their blog.  God knows that I’m in serious need of participating.  Unfortunately, I’ll be in my training until 3:30 Friday afternoon.  Then I will be driving back to Roanoke and Saturday I really need to spend my time with my family.  I wish everyone luck and may try to sneak in some Blogiesta work in while I’m in DC.

Well, I’d much rather stay online and write some more, but there is a huge make-up storm cloud a-brewing between Emma and Allison.  Also, Danny just asked if anyone wanted pizza for dinner.  I’m there.  See ya!
