Daily Update

So we got a new guy at work. I think he's worked here before, a while ago. He
already knows everyone. I said Hi to him in the morning. Ta was away from his desk
most of the day. Dan walked by twice, Richard once. Different times though. The
phone rang 37 times. 12 were repeat callers. 9 were women. 2 were office
relatives. Emilio had a meeting. Richard asked Danny if he spoke Brizillian to the
clean up crew. Jim recieved 19 emails yesterday. Jim wrote 17 emails yesterday. 1
was work related. 2 were church related.

I planned on rushing home to go to the store, but when i got home I forgot which
store, so I sat at my desk in a stupor of thought. I ended up doing research for
one of my paintings. Nothing bad I assure you. They were all renissance paintings
that i was looking at. All in the name of art, right. I then started sketching on
the canvas that I was doing for ...someone. As I would sketch deeper into the
painting I became more integrated with its intentions. With every line I drew I
felt like I was actually building each wall or column. Not only would I draw a bed,
I would make it, and then fluff the pillows, and then bounce on it as well. As each
wall appeared on the canvas it was like opening a door or a gateway to the next
decision that I was to make. Yes, just like Alice wandering thru wonderland. As I
so desperatly searched for the Cheshire Cat more options became apparent. Although
I haven't found the cat yet, I feel that it is simply hiding just around the corner.
And when I find it I will make sure it stay's put! As my nurons continued to fire
at an incredible rate, I was so abruptly interupted by the daily call from Jeff. I
was happy to chat, but oh the disruption, the pain that the call caused to my
painting might be unmeasurable. I realized then that I couldn't look into the
rabbit hole, while I continued to run deeper into it at the same time. Reality
snapped back quickly. I could only immerse myself a little bit back into the canvas
after the call. I finished building the back wall of the castle, as well I finished
furninshing the bedroom that I was in. After fixing the drapes I stepped out of the
canvas, and went to FHE. Needless to say I was late. [I'll tell you more about
what the painting will be when I'm allowed to, thus far, its kind of top secret].

At FHE they had an easter egg hunt. I was late, and wasn't to into it. As soon as
Jeff got there, promptly at 8:30, we went to do Man-Box stuff. It was pretty
productive. Josh got a lot done (with lots of help from me) and Jeff continued to
draw. We got to welcome a special guest to the Man-Box Circle, Kristen joined us.
I'll be honest, at first the guys were skeptical, mostly because she's a girl. It
took a few minutes for me to convince the guys that girls aren't all that bad. Plus
she smells nice. Luckily I got there before she did, so I could take all the 'No
girls allowed' signs down from our clubhouse. We gave her a quick orientation to
what a Man-Box should be, and after urging her, we helped her tap into her south
american/pre-columbian roots (since the rest of us have molded ours into themes).
You see, 'Diversity' isn't just an old wooden ship!

I ate more of my plethora of pancakes this morning. It was just as delightful as
the second time I ate them. Oh the buttery walnut goodness, chills just ran down my
spine.

Lunch was sponsored by In N' Out. I was impressed with them today. First time ever
to serve me in under 10 minutes.

I'm listening to the news right now.

They determined the father of Anna Nicole's baby was Larry B., as suspected.
