It's morning. All over. I am doing okay. I have some guilt but I will work through it. Guilt about work. I need to get some stuff done before Monday morning and I am not behaving well right now. Summertime angst? Because I have so many friends in college, graduating from college, teachers, etc, their summertime laziness is rubbing off on me which is not good. I need to get through the next couple of weeks like a pro before I can relax.

Why all the angst? Mostly because I lost Thursday and then I was too hungover yesterday to anything real. I did some stuff but not enough to feel good about myself. On the personal side things were okay. I had that lunch date where be both agreed we are better as friends than as a couple. That was good.

The kid had an excellent day. There is this company she has been a member of their online community since day one like 5 years ago and yesterday they rewarded her and 9 other users with a special user appreciation day. These are the top ten involved, dedicated, long time users. It's not uncommon for a company to send good users/clients gifts or treat them to a lunch kind of thing, but what this company did is through the roof. Not only did they take them to lunch, they gave each of them a $1000 gift bag. It had a $250 purse, $600 in gift cards from different stores, $300 in makeup, clothes, sunglasses, perfume... yeah. She came home walking on air. She got to meet the COO, the CEO, multiple engineers and product people, and had a great time. she also really wants to work for this company and is going to talk to them on Monday about an internship.

I went in the evening to get a manicure for tomorrow's parade with a friend and then at 10 the kid and I went and saw Brave. LOVED IT. So awesome. So wonderful. Must date a redhead now. Sorry, that's the way it is.

We are going to a friend's house at 3 today and spending the night so we can all go into the city tomorrow for the parade together. I need to get everything together today. This is going to be work.
