Floral designer

K had a great day at school yesterday. He said someone decorated his locker, then they sang happy bday to him 6 or 7 times in all his different classes and he got lots of wishes. They enjoyed his nut free cookies also.

Then he gets this shiny invitation in the mail with a personalized stamp with the girl's picture. It's a batmitzvah. (oops more $$$) I thought it was a wedding invitation. It's dinner and dancing at a banquet hall, he says he's not dancing, of course, but he'll go as he thinks a lot of his friends will.

L has a busy weekend, she's going to give me a list of all she has to accomplish over these next 2 frantic weeks and I'm going to help her prioritize and get it done. She said I'll freak when I see the list, I told her I could likely help anyway.

Meanwhile, the house needs dusting and the bedsheets need washing etc. I'd like to see the movie 'Chaos Theory', the guy is super organized and everything comes falling apart when his wife accidentally sets his clock back by 10 minutes.

A friend of mine just got a great job as a floral designer. I'm so happy for her, she went through a year of training and found this timely opportunity. It sounds like she's really talented, she won a major prize at a flower design competition. It's inspiring that she found herself at mid-life, I think. She mentioned that there are so many opportunities out there nowadays, new careers that never existed 20years ago.
