Could it be... an update?

Hello everyone. Sorry for the long time between posts. What can I say? It's been a dull summer so far. Here's what I have been up to:
  • The Husband and I are stripping and re-staining our deck. At least we would, but it has been raining lately (we should have started the deck earlier when we needed rain!). We have a BIG deck... and a get-together on 8/30. Wish us luck getting it done in time!
  • I passed my Series 7 exam and am now studying for my Series 66 license. The S66 is shorter but 100x more dull. I actually read the exam study manual out loud to remain awake. My cat is not a good listener... but I cannot blame him.
  • I am still employed by the Really Big Bank. Boss is great, company is good, commute sucks.
  • The Husband, my brother and I are going to see Journey and Cheap Trick in September. Just what I need - a trip down memory lane! Back to the 80s when I did not have as much responsibility, as much girth, or as much disposable income... (you gotta take the good with the bad...). I am looking forward to the show!
  • The same week as the Journey and Cheap Trick show, my Ma and I are going to see Little House on the Prairie at the Guthrie Theatre. Now that really takes me back... to the 70s! I am sure it will be a great show. Now all I have to do is find my sunbonnet... I know it's in the house somewhere...
  • Oh, there is the get-together I mentioned in the first bullet point above. The Husband and I always have a party in the summer and it's great to see the friends who we otherwise don't see enough of.

Okay, maybe it's not so dull after all. It just may be the state of mind I am in today (as I take a break from reading the mind-numbing S66 manual).

Hope all is going well with you! Stay cool.
