crack the shutters

Crack the shutters open wide, I wanna bathe you in the light of day
And just watch you as the rays tangle up around your face and body
I could sit for hours finding new ways to be awed each minute
Cuz' the daylight seems to want you just as much as I want you

sooooo happy the weekend is here. i definitely am ready to have some down time. although i am headed to estes park tomorrow with some guys from sin for the last sale of the season before the shops close down for winter then i have a family dinner in the late afternoon in aurora with all my aunts and uncles(6) from all over the country. no doubt the nobel prize will be a big topic.

it has been a week. my offices had a meeting with sbirt and a representative from the national drug policy office. they are very interested in our collaboration between ryan white and sbirt. colorado is the only country doing this right now. it was a good report card on our end as well. at my workplace, i believe the implementation of sbirt has breathed new life into a very embedded issue and offered an opportunity to have thoughtful dialogue where burnout was residing. but more will be revealed no doubt.

the newsletter layout has been passed into different hands. my friend who has done all the issues thus far was unable to finish so it was necessary to outsource. i am anxious to see how the process is and the final product. but i will be very very happy to put this puppy to bed. the reason, of course, is i have to start on the next one.

sunday brings winterizing the townhouse. shutting down and blowing out the sprinklers, turning off the swamp coolers, and tearing out a dying evergreen from the front yard. i still have to assemble some shelving and take away an old dresser set.

my weekend is full, but it also brings some joy. i am so ready to wear jeans, throw a steak on the grill, and kick back to watch a movie. hope you have some fun.

today's sound choice is "crack the shutters" by my dreamboats du jour snow patrol.
