Good Things Friday - Late Edition

I am having crazy dreams

About midgets

And spinning houses

Not at all Wizard of Ozzy

Although it does feel like I'm not in Kansas any more lately

Good things are happening

But not fast enough

And it's stressing me a bit

Which is prolly why I'm fighting a virus this week

I'm wearing very comfy cargo pants from Target

And my favorite hoodie from the Grand Wailea

This hoodie from Snorg Tees

Made me laugh out loud just now

Which I found from Googling how to spell "hoodie"

So here's a crazy story that is not at all related to the current primary craziness:

I work for a company that builds e-commerce sites

My favorite cousin Chris has disowned the entire family

No one really knows or understands why

But he hasn't spoken to any of us for going on three years now

And when Da had surgery two weeks ago, Chris' mom (my aunt, Da's sister)

Was there with us at the hospital and we talked about it

I know Chris was close with his brothers and sisters

But we've always been super-duper-pooper close

So Aunt Sheri and I are probably the people most hurt by this strange turn of events

Anyhow

It was a good talk

Flash forward to the Sunday following Da's surgery (four days later)

I'm poking around in Salesforce.com, our company database, looking at recent activity

Via a new Twitter-like feature called Chatter

And there's my cousin's wife

In our fucking database

Working for a potential client

With whom we've been meeting for three weeks

To possibly do their web site project

And

Get this

She was scheduled to visit our office the next day

THE NEXT DAY

It was pretty crazy, seeing Chris' wife in my office

And by the look on her face, she was surprised to see me too

I should mention they live in Michigan, last time we heard

And I live in Illinois

I will not editorialize on the 20 minute conversation we had

At her request

After the meeting

[Writing, struggling, writing, deleting, struggling, finally choosing to not say anything]

It appears we've won the business

For now

It is interesting how the Universe works, though, isn't it?

On the phone with Mudder right now

Everybody's doing great
