work just keeps getting better. we have a new regional manager this week and he came to visit our store on monday. the store manager invited me to have lunch with them (woo-hoo!) so i got to schmooze a bit. the regional said he was surprised how few managers we have in the store at this point, based on our sales figures. that, in combination with the confirmation of the new store's opening date (set for thanksgiving), means that my long-anticipated promotion should come sooner, rather than later. this is very good news indeed.

it seems the contract on my parents' apartment is going to hold. their closing is scheduled for mid-july. this leaves much preparation for the few intervening months for them. but they have moved many times before, so they know the drill. my sister and i will be glad to have them here finally. the move has certainly been an awesome thing for me and we all hope it will be for them as well.

i'm going bowling today with a couple of people from work, then out to lunch. one of the guys bowls regularly with scores over 200, so i will look lame for sure. but it should be fun, too. we'll go out to lunch after, then i can come home and work on some mother's day cooking. a chocolate mint ice cream pie with girl scout thin mint crust; a macadamia orange cake that i want to adapt from a gateau bretagne recipe i have; some breakfast pastries as well. we'll see how far i get.
