And we stayed up late looking at photos on my computer. Ellen gets tired waiting two years for me to post photos on this site, so sometimes when she's over she likes to get a sneak peeks into what's coming down the line (eventually). Hahah.

A few weeks earlier, I secretly resigned from Yodle, but agreed to stay on for an extra six month period before announcing my departure. Here's the sneaky little "countdown" chart I made and printed out to keep track of how many weeks I had left so that I could make sure I transitioned all my projects before leaving.
