Work!...the job kind of Work

Hey All,
Sorry I've been M.I.A. lately. These past 2 weeks have been very challenging for me. I was given 2 weeks to throw a 100 person party pretty much by myself. It was long hours at the office and even more stress working with 60 year old women who not only ask me about technological stuff on a minute by minute basis, but also bombard me with questions of why I'm not married or have a girlfriend. They ASSUME (aheeemmm, Wid) that I would. So, I just had my event last night and it went great. We raised a ton of friggin' money.

I'm glad it's over and we just have to do some wrap up reports now. But I'll tell you, what got me through it, was that every time I complained or got annoyed with some of the deadline heat or my co-workers nagging...I stopped and realized what you had to go through Carrie and I snapped out of it and got back to work. So, thanks for indirectly helping me with my event. haha.

Anyways, thought this picture below would be entertaining. It was our "wish list" of things we wanted these donors to purchase last night. Who are these people????!!! LOL.

Love You...Mean It

Hey Fam, it's Rybo. You guys need to vamp up your blog skills all ready! Anyways, just wanted to say hi. Scotty, Carrie is in my thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery. Lis, love you, mean it. Mom, I might come out for the golf tourney so get ready for some tennis battles. And Dad, hope you're enjoying the 'ol days of working out of the comfort of home, where Wid bugs you (only kidding Mom!), you can work in a robe, and you don't have to deal with any office wankers. Well, that is all. Miss you guys and have safe travels brother.

Lisa.....You made me cry!!!!!! Dad and I have spent this past week looking at all the family videos and then it hit me on our drive to Santa Monica that Scott is leaving. Still can't believe it. So very, very, VERY happy for you Scott and so sad at the same time. Lis, can't wait to hear what you have come up with. Hey, wait....Scott, are we invited?

Back to videos......you three were amazing kids (and still are) We laughed so much at the videos and also I cringed at some of the things we said. I think parents always want to do it over again and I know I'd be different this time around. That's why when we become Grandparents we will be that much more awesome! We love you guys so, so much and can't wait to celebrate your new life Scott with Carrie and are thrilled to be around you guys for at least 10 days or so before you leave. Lis...we have to make a pact that we will hold back our tears otherwise we will look like drowning rats!

Ok..enough of my babbling. Love you all.
Mom

My lucid dream this AM: I was standing in someone's backyard holding a microphone and telling Scotty in front of tons of people how much I'm going to miss him... and then I woke up crying in my little dojo. I have no idea why today, but for some reason it just hit me that you're leaving and HOLY F I'm going to miss you so very much. And then I couldn't go back to sleep and have already been writing out my ROAST/TOAST speech for your b-day/going away party extravaganza! It was incredibly inspired and pretty funny so far, not gonna lie. I can't wait to see you all next week family!!!

I love you so much, Scotty!

Hi Family and our new family member.....CARRIE!!!!!!

Just checked out the blog. Ry, I know its old news but I'm sorry I didn't comment on your message earlier. Have so much to talk to you about with regards to that subject matter. We need to have a lunch date, ok?

Lis....where are the pics from the Dojo? Especially now it would be fun to see them.
Got to get Carrie's photos up to complete the rooms. They are simply perfect.

Carrie........telling you how excited Kevin and I are for you both would not even begin to describe our feelings. We see and feel and witness what you both share and it is the best! Happy New Year Family........All good things in 2010 and beyond.

Love you all
Mom
