I am alive. I just want to get that out there right now. I didn't die in some weird shark attack. I didn't drown in vomit. And I didn't bungee jump off a long pier with a short rope... or something.
Work is nuts. I am in management training. It's fun. Work remains nuts.
Tirian turns 8 on the 16th. That's crazy. I am a mother to an 8 year old child. He rocks my world, he's the best thing ever. He made me the best fucking Mother's Day gift ever, with sparkles and a photo of him and all sorts of shit. He's so smart, it's painful. He's learning piano and is going through the curriculum at double the normal pace. I've got a genius child. Plus he's gorgeous.
My friends are amazing. Especially N, K, B and M - so supportive and kind and patient. I'd be a wreck without them. I love you guys.
This is like a fucking Oscar acceptance speech. I'll close therefore by saying fuck you, God, you've never done anything for me.
Good night.

...burn them all, to be sure.
A very very happy St Patrick's Day to you all. As someone of Irish, English, Scottish and Swedish ancestry, I cannot claim to be Irish, nor have I ever been to Ireland. But what I know of my Irish heritage is something of which I am very proud. Also, my name (Erin) means Ireland, so I think I'm pretty linked.
I have Tirian this weekend, so sadly no Guinness for me tonight, however I hope to remedy that on Monday with some roleplaying geek drinkies. Mmmm, roleplaying geeks. *ahem* Yes, well.
This weekend Tirian and I have planned:
Saturday: visit the Chateau de Versailles parks (if the weather is good, which I am sure it will be)
Sunday: perhaps go to the Versailles market, then go see Nanny McPhee au cinéma. (I grabbed it to check it out before taking him, and it's just bloody wonderful), afterwards I've promised him McDonald's. Heh, well, gotta teach the kid about the evils of multinational companies sometime, right? ;)
Éirinn go brách!

Tirian is one damned lucky child. He got everything he had put on his Christmas list. This included (amongst other things) the board game Cluedo (hurry up and grow up, child, so I can show you the movie Clue); a remote control car and a Nintendo DS. For my part I got the Star Wars Trilogy box set, the new Robbie Williams CD, two CDs by Souad MassiThe Chronicles of Narnia PC game and Age of Empires III.

I'm back to work on Thursday, although to be honest it feels as though I am still there. I've received 6 work related phonecalls since Friday all beginning with "I'm sorry to disturb you while you're on vacation, but..." or "I realise you probably can't help me since you're not in the office, but...". I don't mind for some things, but Jesus H Roosevelt Christ on a stick, people, some of this should could either wait, or could have been dealt by someone IN the office if you'd emailed them. FFS.
Now, I am going to go play Scrabble with my son. At least until the next phonecall comes through.

I wanted to show you all how much he has grown. Here are some pics from when we went to the Star Wars exhibition in Paris around a week or so ago. He's now seven and a half years old.
