An evening with Lewis Black...

Last night Dan and I had the pleasure of seeing Lewis Black, a comedian that we really like, at the Taft Theater in Cincinnati. He rants about politics, among many other things, and uses vulgar language. He's not for everyone, but we like a lot of his stuff and last night was no exception. He was scheduled to perform a year or so ago, but that show was canceled. I'm glad he decided to schedule another show here.

Right now he's touring with John Bowman. We had never heard of him, but the opening stand-up from him was hilarious. I might have to look up more of his stuff.

It's a bad picture, but we had pretty good seats in the second row of the balcony.

Signs of Christmas...

We don't have any of our decorations out yet, so our client Christmas cards are pretty much the first signs of the holiday in our house. I'm hoping we can get everything out this weekend. We were too busy enjoying our Thanksgiving laziness last weekend to haul boxes from the basement. I'm looking forward to our tree, stockings, garland/lights down the staircase, and "candles" in the windows. What do you call those things? It's all so warm and calming.

Above are some quick snaps of a client card order that was delivered today. The cards were printed on watercolor paper—you can see some of the texture on the back. I delivered the cards already and they are loved, which I obviously love. Now I just need to come up with a design for our own cards before they end up like last year's design...non-existent.

You'll have to excuse me, my task list is calling...

Can someone tell me...

Where did 2009 go?!

Good things today:

• Tuesday means teaching in the morning, and taking the day off from my day job.
• I had ordered something online yesterday, which was the last day to be eligible for a mail-in rebate. Apparently Vicki and Victoria are not interchangeable when it comes to billing my credit card, so I found out today that my order was canceled. Really?! I had to make a few phone calls, but in the end they gave me an instant rebate instead of a mail-in one. That's much better.
  
• I hung out at Crossroads while Dan had a techie meeting, and got a little further on Sonya and Eddie's wedding invitation. I also pulled another name for our Monogram Canvas Giveaway. Two down, and two to go. It's been fun!
  
• We got last-minute, free tickets to see Chicago in Cincinnati—the musical, not the band, although I would've been happy to see the band also. It was good and funny, and included talented, talented people.
• I decided that I'd like to post almost every day during the month of December. Like is the key word here. You can stop laughing now.
• When we got home, Dan plugged in an Apple AirPort Express that was delivered today. We actually bought two, but for some reason the other will arrive tomorrow. Now I can play my songs in iTunes and hear them through the living room surround system. I need to be careful, or I'll wake up the neighbors. ;)
  

Not-so-good things today:

• I can't believe it's December first. I have too much to do before the end of the year.
• I have no idea what to talk about every day. Have any ideas? Let's hear 'em.
