divscaDad's 60th birthday party went off well. It was a good thing we bought a Wii 'cuz the one kid (age 7) had no company and would've been bored to tears without it! In spite of asking for no gifts, he got plenty of good loot, inlcuding an ipod from my Mom. We gave him a GC to REI so he can shop for half-dome backpacking gear. :)
Work has been kicking my ass, but not so much due to long hours as that I have to time-share on the new board. I have to cram in almost a day's worth of work into half a day in the lab. It's intense.
We ordered a new couch for the living room. Hopefully we can sell the old one in time. We've also been talking to landscapers about redoing the back & front yards. Looks like the total dream yard is out of our budget (what's new), but we'll at least end up with a spa, a nice cooking area, and better hardscaping.
This weekend is catch up time, and next weekend is the Gordian reunion party (at our house). After that, our hosting duties are over for a while, but the summer social calendar kicks into high gear. I really wish I was going to Maui in may for my friend's wedding - I could use a vacation!
