It's a small world after all?

So I get this email from a guy I worked with in San Diego this past January, he is a real estate agent and knows I work at a real estate office. He says his office has an opening and just wanted to pass on the info to see if I would be interested, I read it and indeed am interested. I email the office manager with extreme professionalism and was humored with her response...

"Katie...Not sure if we know each other, but we might be related as my maiden name is True. Not to get off the subject, but I am Charles True's daughter - his family was originally from Waltham."

Come to find out, yes, she is my father's cousin. Very weird. However I met her today and she brought in an old picture to show me of my great-grandfather, then commented how I definitely did look like my dad and his siblings.

How random... I think the best part about it is that her family grew up in Chelmsford but from what I understand they all moved away from that area around the same time my parent's moved into town... ha... funny!

Anyways, the job sounded fantastic, however only offering 30 hours a week won't really cut it for me finiancially, so had to say no, but she did say she will keep me in mind and pass my name around to other offices in the area.

Small world... sometimes!

birthdays...

So it's March, which means my birthday is coming up... woohoo... all I want is for it to be better than last year! Shouldn't be too hard to make sure my nephew doesn't get his forehead burned by my sizzling fajita's while a waiter put down another dish... uh... I can still see the look on CJ's face when it happened... heart crushing moment!
Anyways... Jeremy's b-day is sunday, got some plans for saturday but not sure the actual plan for sunday... however I am WICKED excited to give him his gift... tickets to see The Police @ Fenway this summer!!
My birthday is 3 weeks away and what do I want... same as always... nothing... well that's a lie... I really want $$... I need to pay some bills, bills and more bills, ya that would be nice. Other than that I can't think of anything specific I want, I have gift certificates from xmas I still haven't used so I can buy clothes with those, I would love to go on vacation but that costs money and taking time off from work isn't really something Jeremy can do right now since he is Mr. Independent (he started his own company). So ya... I figure my birthday will just be another day... and I am ok with that...
