What a week! This week has been 100% pure "tashkhala" (for the lack of a precise translation). Mondays are of course hectic no matter what, since Monday mornings we have a 3 office inter-office meeting. Work has been so mixed up I don't even know where to begin. We moved offices, but what we thought would be a week transition turned out to be transition till now. Hmmm....
Monday evening we had a guest arrive from Armenia... Digin Arusyag Sahagian. She will be spending the next month at our house (even though we are also between houses). The last time she came to America was in 1996, and now she is back with the invitation of the Board of Regents (Armenian schools). She'll be working on several projects with them, involving making Armenian books for the Armenian students. I guess to simplify what she does... she goes around to different villages and collects the OLD Armenian songs, dances, and stories so that they may be preserved in their original form. Her father began this work when he was young, and she has continues it to this day. It's amazing how much she knows! It's going to be an interesting month. Since I'm used to always seeing her in Hayasdan, it's very cool to have her here, since I feel like she is a little piece of Hayasdan living with me. :)
Other than that our "move" is not going too smoothly. Most of our stuff in boxes is at the new house, and we are waiting for the floors to be done, so we can move in the big stuff. I don't know how this moving thing is supposed to work... but I doubt it's supposed to be like THIS. (Then again, we're Armenian... and most of the time things aren't supposed to make sense --- for example my friend who found a cheap ticket to fly to Portland from Sacramento, but rented a car to drive to Sacramento to take the flight.... or my cousin who lives in Seattle, and didn't want to spend money flying to Vegas for the holidays, so she decided to drive down even though gas costs a million dollars a gallon and it would take 2 days).... We have a different logic. ha ha ha
TSUH! :)~
p.s. - can't wait to hear what the Glendale-Ghapan people accomplish!
p.p.s - it's my birthday??? (sure.. why not!) :)
