it's my birthday

With my Mochi. :)

The original plan for my blog this week was to put up a post last night on June 7th telling you about my thoughts on some aspect of the meaning of life/relationships/love/women and my status/progress with it.  I was going to tell you that I was working on building a website for my patent-pending table design, and today, on my birthday, June 8th, tell you all about it with a big happy "tah-dah!"...  it didn't happen.  I'm pretty bummed and sad at myself for not having done it yet - ... but that'll give you an idea of what's coming... 

How about I re-negotiate with you and ask for another week?  June 15?  For my patent-pending "Arry Table" launch?  Or...

Anyways, a status update for today on the "word of Arry".  Overall, I feel like life is going pretty darn well for me - lots and lots of balls in the air for me.  Yes.  Lots of balls in the air - and I am happily optimistic about life.  (Not in any particular order:)

• Me: I'm doing pretty well.  Health is back up.  Detoxed for about a month.  No alcohol/cocktails/beer for a few months now.  And as you saw in my last post, no more Diet Cokes.
• Family: Working on building strong relationships with my mother and brother.  Practicing patience and kindness - it's a struggle, because it's so easy to be careless in a way with those closest to you.  I struggle with sometimes taking their love for granted.  I'm lucky to have family that loves me no matter what - and I want to be appreciative with my actions and words...  anyways, this is something that I'm working on being better about.
• Work:  I am in my fourth month with Logic20/20 - and am really enjoying working with them.  I think we can safely say that I'm out of the honeymoon zone and the reality is, I really do like my job.  I like the people.  For sure, the job has been kicking my butt here and there - I'm sweating!  I see so much opportunity all around and it's quite intoxicating.
• Start-up:  Gave birth to our start-up baby (with co-founders, Mina and Michael).  All Things Wishful launched - and we are busy working on making weekly improvements.  We've been getting a lot of great feedback and we've been working our super best-est to provide awesome customer support.  We brought on our new developer, Darren, who's got quite an interesting story and a background in game development.  Cool, huh?  We're investing in marketing plans - got some tee shirts too!  Seriously, I absolutely love our company and product - and I hope you do too.  We're open to feedback - so definitely let us know your thoughts!  Remember - All Things Wishful is the ultimate gift registry for anything at all.  Baby (nanny services, crib, college savings fund), Wedding (the ultimate Dyson vacuum, plasma TV, house cleaning services, ...), Birthday (jewelry, gym membership, massage...), Personal Endeavors (turning 40, climbing Mt. Rainier, snow boarding competition), ...  
• Love: ...  I'm seeing someone.  :)  I try not to talk about current personal relationships, so I'll stop there.  (I reserve the right to change my mind on that though)
• Friends: I am so blessed and lucky to have so many awesome people in my life.  

So there's my update for today.  Blogging every week is a challenge - coming up with original interesting content, actually sitting down and writing it, ...  quite the challenge.  I've been struggling this past month - and need encouragement!  About to go have delicious dinner tonight - yes, Yelp review soon to follow!

Happy birthday to me!  (Link to my All Things Wishful registry)
