Sheep Guarding Llama

Saturday.

For lunch today, we ordered out pizza and subs from Ralph’s. We’ve only recently discovered Ralph’s. It is so close to the house and has the best pizza that we’ve found so far in Texas. It is so close that we could actually walk to it! In fact, I have.

While having lunch, Liesl and I watched some Growing Pains.

This afternoon I watched the girls while Paul and Dominica did some driving around to check out different venues for MangoCon. We are mostly looking at places in Addison, but checking on Plano, Carrollton, and Irving, too.

I did some Laravel and PHP work this evening. Then around ten Liesl and I watched some television together.

At midnight, Rachel came buy and picked me up and we went to the Fox and Hound and played darts till closing time.

Friday. Busy work day since next week is SpiceWorld Austin and Paul, Dominica, and I are going to be out of the office. Have to be ready, we are going to be super busy next week.

Today was the busiest day on MangoLassi in history. Pretty cool.

Thursday. Today is Dominica and my fifteenth wedding anniversary!

This morning I had to work on my resume for something. It turns out that it has been so long since I had to do anything with a resume that I no longer have a copy of it or anything. I had to make a completely new one from scratch. One thing that is sad is just how much of my professional history has been lost. Hundreds of certifications, scores of jobs, not recorded.

After working on my resume for a while I went out to mow the lawn.

I finished up my new resume at seven this evening. The first major rewrite that I have done in twenty years! I have been using my resume that I wrote before SGL all of this time. The resume was so much a part of my life, so weird to have a new one.

For our wedding anniversary dinner, Dominica and I went out to Pappadeaux on Frankfort for an awesome seafood dinner. I went for the fried seafood dinner, it was just calling to me. As always the food there was amazing.

Wednesday. Started the day doing a conference call with Rodrigo. We sat on the conference call for half an hour without anyone showing up. So nice of people to take the time to cancel so that we don’t waste lots of time just sitting around waiting for them.

Other than the wasted morning call, it was rather a normal day. I worked until a quarter till four. Then one of NTG’s old interns, William, landed at Love Field and I drove out to pick him up and take him to his hotel in Plano. We have never actually met in person before. We did not have very much time to hang out, only the time to do the drive and drop him off at the hotel.

We would have had a little more time had I not thought that he was landing at DFW instead of Love and gone to the correct airport initially.

For dinner we went out to Fuzzy Taco at five thirty.

Nick came over around seven thirty for a while to hang out.

This evening Dominica and I watched Growing Pains together.

Tuesday. Today started with heavy planning for our Austin trip for Spiceworld 2018. Dominica has been hesitant to go but Paul and I have been working hard to talk her into coming along. Since we have an AirBnB instead of a hotel, it is easy for her and the girls to come with us. The girls would appreciate that as well, getting time to hang out with everyone and they have not had a real trip to someplace new in a long time.

Tonight Paul made salmon for dinner. Dominica made sweet and sour cauliflower, which we have not had before. It was very good, all of it. The cauliflower is a vegan alternative to traditional Chinese take out dishes like sweet and sour chicken and it really tasted like it. A very good option, it would do a lot to relieve the desire that I often feel to get Chinese take out for specifically that menu item.

This evening I went up to Denton with Rachel and we went dancing at the Abbey Underground.
