Heeeere's Olivia!
My newest niece and soon-to-be goddaughter Olivia Lora was born yesterday to my cousin Jim and his wife Mari. :) My parents, grandma and I visited them at the hospital today. Baby Olivia is beautiful, with a full head of black hair. Her parents and her big brothers Seb and Reese, as well as the grandparents, were all there and doing well. I got to hold Olivia for a little while... here's a pic. She was a bit unhappy at the time unfortunately :)
Me and Olivia
I took care of a bunch of domestic chores this weekend. The "biggest" was re-potting my lucky bamboo plant. So far it appears to have survived the ordeal, but I guess I won't really know for a little while. It definitely was overdue for a move to a larger container though, it was very rootbound. I also organized my CD collection into a new storage rack that I bought. I counted over 200 CDs... I didn't think I had that many. :) Anyway, they all fit onto the new shelves along with my handful of DVDs, and are no longer scattered across four different storage units.
Busy couple of weeks coming up... I set up appointments to see my eye doctor and my dentist, and will set up an annual (or in my case tri-annual, heh) physical exam with my primary care physician. I want to get all the appointments done before school starts again on the 8th. At work, I have to help my "kids" (the two new employees that I am appraisal manager for) through their first-ever skills assessment on Tuesday. It should go well for both of them. Then I have to prepare for my own in a couple weeks! I need to decide whether or not to try for a progression (meaning I would have a higher "functional role" which would open me up to new staffing roles and responsibilities). We'll see... I don't feel totally ready for a progression, but it wouldn't hurt to try.
I may try to visit my uncle, aunt, and cousins in DC soon. My cousin Jay will be visiting them in mid-September, so I will see if I can get flights for that same weekend using my frequent flyer miles. Otherwise I'll try and schedule something in October. I haven't travelled anywhere in "flying distance" yet this year, so it would be nice to get away for at least a long weekend. :)
