Tuesday 9/29/09 - WORK

- Drove to work and ate a muffin for breakfast even though my "guts" were still cramping, but wanted to take some Advil and didn't want to take it on an empty stomach...probably a big mistake.

- Back to Sparks

- Took a break to review a couple of projects that one of the designers was working on: Harry Potter banners and a "private event" invite.

- Met with the Managing Editor to go over the layouts I had created for The Science Behind... program, so she was up to date in case her freelance editor (who is working on the project) had any questions about what I gave her.

- Chatted briefly with a freelance designer that we use from time to time who had stopped by for a visit.

- Got back to my desk and checked voicemail and discovered a message from Walker telling me his tooth fell out, but they couldn't find it and that daddy said he thinks it's in his tummy. Call Scott back and talked to Walker about his missing tooth and assured him the tooth fairy would except a note in replace of the tooth.
