This weekend is Mother's Day and the fam has a lot going on. Yesterday I had Evelyn @ Bell Tower Florists create a beautiful bouquet for mom in her favorite vase. It turned out awesome (like usual). I was kinda suprised about how few flowers you get now for 100 bucks. Before you used to get quite a bit, but now...it seems to get to be fewer and fewer. Evelyn says it's because of the increase prices in gases and I know flowers cost more at the flower mart too (I was just there with my aunt mom's ago and it looked like the prices went up again by 10-20%). So it all makes since. Tomorrow we are going to Las Brisas for brunch. I made my reservations 5 months in advance. Most people know that after february you can't get in on mother's day. I learned that the hard way one year. After that we will be visiting the condo and do some repairs. We will be replanting the front yard next week. Yay to new flowers! :)
This is the arrangement that Eveyln made...you did an awesome job girlfriend!
Today mom and I went to the new beach condo to do some clean up in the yard (4 trash cans later) while Mr. Kim and his crew (his wife and two other guys) finished painting our house. They re-stained the fireplace, the cabinets and the staircase as well. They repainted every room and even hit the front door. We got two qoutes for the job...3500 and 2000 from Mr. Kim. So the choice was obvious. Mr. Kim was neat, quite and precise as well. Juan from work is coming over next week to install the new door knobs, cabinet hardware, shower heads, light fixtures, etc. The window cleaners come on wednesday and they are going to power wash the outside of the house as well. The new trash compactor is coming thursday. Friday the new carpet is being installed and the grout guy is coming to re-grout all the showers. Saturday the cleaning crew is coming in and monday we move in. So it's going to be a busy week next week.
On top of that I have to pick up my new personalized plates that my doctor got me for my 4 year anniversary of my survival (that's we call it) on friday from the DMV. I saw Saggar last week and he said my blood tests looked awesome. Everything was "normal" including my liver enzymes. This is the first time in 5 years they have been normal. All through out my treatment, my enzymes always remained high. Now they have finally dropped. he listened to my heart and still heard the S4 reguritation but over all I was doing well. He said I didn't have to come back for a year and he gave me the ok to go swimming in St. Thomas with my PICC line. Yay!
Next week I start my big research project at work on behalf of Wal-Mart. The buyers at Wal-Mart want consumer research that proves that shoppers want one-stop shopping in our catagory: hardware. That's an easy duh! We want to get the bath hardware account, the home lighting, security lighting, portable security, and cabinet hardware accounts there at Wal-Mart. I just have to prove that consumers want to find it all on the same aisle. It should be no problem. I just have to run a new survey through InsightExpress and make sure that the results are bias to our products!
So busy week next week. I am hoping to take two days off so I can help mom unpack. I think I am going to take off the 18th and the 19th. I know I have over 100 hours of vacation at work so it should be no problem.
Ohhh and I got 4 season tickets to a Angels Game coming up...I am hoping Lisa will feel well enough to go.
That's the update...
