California clients

I work primarily with clients in California at my new job. This is a blessing and a curse. It is a blessing in that during Boston winters (and really all of the time, but I like to key in on the winter) I will be in California for a week at least once a month. And we're talking the good parts of California. (I cannot officially say which cities as people are not supposed to know what schools I am working with. I will just assure you that they are awesome school in great locations.) The curse is that on Friday I have meetings well into the evening. I did not get off of work until after 7 last night. It will be like that every Friday. Jackson turned lemons into lemonade and made Fridays date night. He will just come to my office when I am off of work and we'll go into the city for dinner each Friday. That way he doesn't have to try to time dinner around my crazy schedule. I love that man. Anyway, don't cry for me. I won't be so sad about late Fridays when I'm chillin' in California on PwC's dime when it is snowing here.

Anyway, yesterday I was having a particularly long (11 billable hours!!!) day as coming back from vacation always means that you're swamped with work. I was so happy to check my phone around 5 and see that I had 3 photo messages waiting. My Mom sent me pictures of her two "shaggy" dogs. I love those dogs. I also think they look super cute all shaggy like that. I just think that Madison is the greatest dog because she always looks like she is smirking.
That's little Ms. Macy lounging in Guy's recliner looking cute as a button.
Then I got a message from Jackson and MacKenzie letting me know that they were lounging and waiting for me to get home for dinner. MacKenzie was watching for me to walk home. She'd have to wait about another 2 hours for that to happen! Poor little thing. I loved the photo, though. They're so sweet.
