Bad blogger, molly!
I know, I'm slacking. I'm going to be better next week, I'm meeting with someone tomorrow about ideas and direction.

I think this company (I'm not allowed to discuss them by name) is somehow related to Starbucks, because I've met with people from them at FOUR different Starbucks. When I offered the Last Drop one day because it was closer, they quickly convinced me to Sbux it instead. It's odd.

Anyway, here's what I've learned this week - in no particular order:

1. I know I learn this way too often (or not enough?) but I simply can not do it like I used to. Went out with an old friend who was in town for an asbestos liability conference on Sunday and Monday. Before you think "wow, sounds like nerdfest there, Molly...", let me tell you that I have never seen a profession that parties harder on a school night than that of Asbestos attorneys. I drank like a Kennedy.

2. When taking folks for a late-night Cheesesteak, always remind them that the peppers they put out for you to put on your cheesesteak are NOT for the faint of heart. I've apparently failed to warn people on two different occasions.

3. The $300 I spent on an Apple Time Capsule is the best investment I've made in years. I recovered like a champ from a problem that could have been monumental.

4. Adobe's software is NOT like I remember it from design classes at Georgia and Portfolio Center. It is also not like riding a bike, you can and will forget everything you once knew about its operation.

5. Your eyeballs can and will sunburn.

6. I should have thrown Alizarin Crimson, Pthalo Blue and Prussian Blue in the trash a long time ago. They don't work and are useless for creating anything decent. Quinacridone Red, Ultramarine Blue and even Cobalt Blue, Molly. Quit buying CRAP.

7. Buy a website and someone will finally cut you a check. Yes, Connie gave us a check. I'll let you know if it clears. HOWEVER - Thank you 6abc News, the Channel 6 Action News Call to Action Team called me and was ready to start chasing her down. If it doesn't clear, we're going to the media. When I was in Atlanta, I had more than one person threaten people that worked for me in my old job because we wouldn't accept returns. I always secretly wanted someone to call 11Alive just so we could get on there and explain that it is NOT okay to wear a prom dress and then return it to the store for a refund. This, however, was another matter. And to my friends that said "I don't want to piss Molly off!"...well, I don't think y'all could do that. I'm really pretty easy-going, but when it's been 6 months of bonafide lying, yeah, I get testy. And I buy domains. I have no idea what I'll do with that thing.

8. I'm probably going home to Virginia this weekend for some sun and a little family time. Hell, I'll admit, my family is legally required to love me whether I'm in Pee-Ay or Vee-Ay, and I don't even care about the sun. All I want is a cheesy western all the way and a bowl. I'll get the hot walkin'. If you know what I'm talking about, then I love you.
