Went to start my car this morning, and discovered that I'd left the lights on. Since Friday. O_o Thank goodness for housemates with jumper cables, and AAA since my commute isn't long enough to charge the battery. I drove around for half an hour and found out where a couple of the roads nearby go. Confirmed that my sense of direction is very good. Mom says I get that from her father. :)

The family reunion was fun, as usual. This shot was everyone's favorite; it's the pond behind the house, with an incredible sky and my cousin Joanna painting on an easel. We are a creative family. :)

We did s'mores twice, and the second time I noted that we should be singing campfire songs, which my cousin grrlfriday took to mean "sing karaoke" and proceeded to belt out "Total Eclipse of the Heart" (which I joined in on) (we are both Leos, after all).

Ahem.

I also managed to spill coffee on myself and my desk today, after which I cried "Uncle!" to Mercury, who is presently retrograde. Oh, he is a trickster all right.

Made calls for the first time at work, and had one person who was interested but about to go on holiday (and you'd be surprised by the number of travel agents who have British accents here in Massachusetts), so I sent her a flyer and put her in the calendar to call back next week. She sounded quite interested. Getting used to the lingo; selling BBB services is similar to but also different from selling advertising. Soon it'll be rolling off the tongue, but today the tongue got a bit tied in places. Also Mercury's fault, of course. ;)

Starting to come back to myself as I get used to going to work every day, and being happy about it. Seeing the family was good, too. Once a year isn't often enough. It's hard when everyone is so far-flung.

Discovered the perfect pillow at my aunt's over the weekend; it's from Ikea, so I foresee a trip down there next time I'm at Mom's. My neck will thank me. It's been cranky lately.
