Explicitly and without apology a marketing vehicle MaryMaryQuiteContrary

hey you guys!

So I've just had a crazy, crazy run of it lately... lots to tell you about... we'll get to it as we do. (I still got way more unread email in my inbox than I'm prepared to admit to.)

It's just still crazy busy for me. And as MaryMaryQuiteContrary=extracurricular, frequency might not be what it was for a while. Sorry. 

OK... Speaking of the inbox... I had so much email inbox excitement going on as I started catching up on the backlog, people that I swear to you i thought I was going to have a heart attack. I got all kinds of super spectacular news via email. (including that Dan Lacher became a daddy and my beautiful Annie-Baby is getting married!!!!). And other super spectacular news that I'm not yet prepared to discuss but will be soon.  And then I had some blog action... a certain David Berlind (that's right the David Berlind) 1. sends me email; 2. mentions me in his blog.

be still my beating heart.

I am totally serious.

And then I got a little surprise from my buddy Dr. Josh which made me think we might be in business again soon, if you know what I mean.

I tell you... I do a little of this and a little of that and all kinds of neat-o stuff stars happening. I gotta do the spring break roadie thing every year. I think i got my groove back, people.  And I'm not the only one.

:-) (you know who you are)

So guess who I had breakfast with this morning, you guys?

Wait. Let me say that again...

Guess who came over to my house in the morning after having spent the night elsewhere and ate breakfast with me. (I don't want you guys getting any crazy ideas... this is a family rated program; I'm happily married suburban working mother of three children ages 6 and under. And so are they. )



Dan Malks (left) and Hal Stern (right)!!

Techno Celeb Mania, people! Can you even believe that is how I started out my day??!!



I told you. I've been hanging out with all the A-list celebs and you don't believe me. Thank God I've got the digital camera (which Sun owns and I use all the time to take pictures of the kids with, but don't tell anybody) to prove it. We digress.. Breakfast... These guys are super smart, people. I just hang around and hope it rubs off... osmosis... you know... like putting your textbook underneath your pillow the night before an exam...

pop quiz: what do I have in common with techno celebs extraordinaries Dan Malks and Hal Stern??

a: we're all Sun employees.

:-)

You want in on this game?

Anyway.

We had eggs (scrambled; no milk), pancakes, fruit salad and cinnamon twists that I made this morning with puff pastry. (Hal said they were almost as good as an elephant's ear.)

Breakfast of champions.

It was fun.

OK. I gotta jam. I get (justifiably) busted big time when i don't submit expense reports promptly. I been traveling so much. So i need to do that. And other stuff.

kiss, kiss!

p.s. i missed you too. :-)

p.s. I got this buddy... her name is Judith... she's my big-toe buddy on the NetBeans front... she sent me this... and being that I like to share the love, I'm letting you in on it too...

p.p.s. Will Snow is totally awesome. He's just really, really great. And he's just going to have to induldge me with these public displays of affection (totally not his style) because he really yanked my hide out of the fire today and I super-dee-duper appreciate it.

p.p.p.s. It would have been nice if Berlind had mentioned that I am Sun Ray Girl. Not that I'm complaining or anything...
