Life or Soup?

Terribly sorry we fell behind on the soup experiment. Last weekend my parents came to town and my super hero friend KT has been leading the improve pack with an event every Sunday night and soup just became a little less important.

Life has gotten a little nutso lately. I continue to work in the opera-development office but my employer's family has suffered a major medical emergency and therefore much of the week it is just me and my intern. Since my employer likes to have final say on all business dealings it has been more stressful at work than it probably should be. But her emergency is working out and hopefully by the time I leave at the end of the month she will be ready to take back the reins full time and enjoy her newly cleaned, organized and procedure ready office.

On the larger family homefront we are welcoming the arrival of 2 new babies. My cousin and Ryan's cousin both had the first newborns of "our generation of cousins" within the past 3 months. Couple that with my wedding, cousin Amber's wedding, my brother's wedding and Ryan's brother's wedding all happening within a year of each other and we are a busy group. We can also add Ryan's best friend's wedding in Jan 2011 and our friend Aaron's wedding this summer only one week before Brad's. It's next generations time people. Apparently we are taking over.

And in our tiny NYC homefront the main focus is on finishing the paper, getting jobs and trying to plan with little or no direction a move in May. I've had 2 phone interviews and applied to 8 or nine positions within the past month. We spend a little time each week on craigslist looking at houses but to actually move we will need a location. Ry and I are both ready for a more focused life that includes actual income.

we will see.
