Gooood morning Boston GBCNers!

Good morning, friends! Our weekend was nice. On Friday we went out to eat in Somerville (and had a few too many margaritas) and on the way home saw an ad for A Chorus Line in Waltham. I decided to purchase tickets. Saturday we went to Natick to run some errands, had lunch at the Nordstrom Cafe, came home, watched a movie, and went to Barnes and Noble for coffee. Yesterday we went out for breakfast, went to see A Chorus Line, and made a big pasta dinner.

My husband is leaving for Portugal in a few hours. I'm volunteering at a golf outing in Hingham this afternoon. Wednesday I was supposed to take our exchange students to Mamma Mia but they just bailed.

Good luck with the bike, Rock! Have they scheduled your surgery yet?

I had planned to do nothing on Saturday, but I ended up getting a last-minute appointment for a hair cut, and then we went to the movies and grabbed dinner/beers over at the Lord Hobo. Yesterday, we went to NH to my in-laws for Father's Day, and I was practically falling asleep on their couch. I'm so exhausted. I cannot wait for 2 o'clock on Friday.

This is week 3 of 3 for the program I'm directing so I am pretty effing excited. We do it all over again in a couple of weeks, (with 80 freaking people!), but I am going to enjoy the hell out of the two weeks in-between.

Also, my staff member who broke his collarbone is currently at the doctor's finding out if he needs surgery, so think good thoughts. We're royally screwed if he's going to be out for a few weeks. (Plus, you know, I don't want him to have to have surgery, obviously.)

My weekend was pretty good. We spent most of Saturday doing landscaping work at my parents' house since they have zero skills in that area and it was getting out of control. Sunday we took the dog to the beach and wore her out. It was a little cold with the wind but nice to be in the sun.

I'm looking forward to the hot weather later this week and probably eating lots of popsicles and drinking iced tea on the deck. I love summer.

Yep, surgery is going to be July 6. It might sound weird, but I can't freaking wait.

I bet! It'll suck, but at least you know you'll be on your way.

And my co-worker does need surgery - womp womp. He goes in on Friday, so now we are scrambling to find someone who can fill in for us next month, because even if he's back in time for the start (on July 9), there's no way he's going to be up to working on a group with 80 people for 3 weeks.

Our weekend was OK.

This is the first week of "downtime" we've had in a while. Says the person who has already visited a preschool and had an extended playdate today.

Well, they're giving us the girl who literally started this morning, so...no?
I mean, she could be fine, but a)they have a less-than-stellar hiring record of late, and b)I'm going to have to spend half my time training her. But at least she can carry a box across the courtyard, which is more than I can say for the current team, what with the broken collarbone and the other team member being 7 1/2 months pregnant right now.
...it's going to be a long month.
