I’m something like halfway through that part of May in which Mother’s Day, Anna’s birthday and our wedding anniversary occur with the span of like eight days. Even if I weren’t a forgetful procrastinator, it would be a tough stretch. Let’s break it down:

• Mother’s Day: took Jennifer out the night before for dinner at Mister A’s, and breakfast in bed.

• Anna’s Birthday: cupcakes, candles, big bag o’ presents. Party is this weekend, with Bubblemania performing. We let Anna pick the guest list for the first time.

• Anniversary: couples’ massage, dinner at Ruth’s Chris.

So far there haven’t been any (unwelcome) surprises, and at least I get things back my way with my birthday and Father’s day next month.

In other news, I added a new 24″ monitor at work, so when I get my workstation (two monitors), my other workstation (one monitor), my laptop, and my three prototypes all lined up, I have a desktop 8800 pixels wide, and, thanks to Synergy, my cursor floats smoothly across all seven flat panel displays. Ohhhh.
