Farewell party at Apple Cupe (first of many)


So I had a farewell party at Apple. It is a little premature given we've no idea when we're actually leaving. But my old boss, Mark, was moving to new position within Apple, and it was his last day. Apparently he only agreed to have a leaving celebration if he could share it.
Great food, drink and lots of peeps. Olivia came too and spent the time under the table banging her head on the underside and causing all my co-workers to look at me like I was this terrible mother, and shouldn't I stop her. Every time I peered under the tablecloth she was grinning away at me. She thought it was hilarious. I was trying to show her off and that's what she did. I had better get used to it; I am not sure that cooperative is going to be her middle name.

Olivia helps with packing the house

So, Carl was in China trying to get us set up in our new apartment. I'm thousands of miles away trying to pack up our house here. Olivia really thought that she was being helpful, especially because puppy and kanga were hiding in the box too. I think that I must have got distracted at that point because that box is still empty and sitting in the guest bedroom. I expect that we'll fill it this weekend though, we're planning on packing, listing, filling in forms etc. Aaarrrgggghhhhh. Not what you want to be doing on a Holiday weekend. Hopefully we'll intersperse it with trips to the beach, visits to the park, and bottles of wine. We know that we can't take the wine with us, so we might as well drink it!
