Had a fun Birthday week. Had dinner with some of my best friends on my Birthday (Donna and her girls and Jan). Closed an escrow and opened a new one (while I was out of town playing). Saw a fun show (The Full Monty) in San Jose with Kelly. Had an amazing dinner at Il Fornaio. Caught up with Shiven briefly before his family weekend.

Saturday I toured beautiful Woodside and Portola. Jarrod was right. Definitely should be advertising CV Real Estate there. Had a peaceful drive home with time to think. Came home and was greeted by a very cheerful Allex who had a great time with his Cousin, Aunt and Uncle and Grandma. Apparently there was much excitement while I was gone. A rattle snake invaded Grandma Doris' front porch. Her third one this summer! It's been very dry...I think they are coming for her dog's water.

Spent all day today playing with Allex and getting house chores done (which is strangely satisfying - I hate house work - but I know it will feel good to have it done for the week). Allex and I went for a walk this morning over on Steve Fortner's development. Felt great. Nice place to walk. Then Allex and I cooked and watched movies and played games (sword fights, pirates and even twister).

Looking forward to a nice week coming up. Having dinner with Donna Wednesday night. We'll chat about our future plans and my entertaining love life (or lack thereof :-) and raising kids. I'll work on my escrow and place Ads in Woodside papers. Wouldn't it be nice if I opened another escrow this week! A BIG escrow!
