Thrusday: we're sort of ready

Well, we're sort of ready to leave on vacation tomorrow. The problem? Ben hasn't been feeling well this week and finally had a doctor's appt today. They told him to come back tomorrow when they'll have the results of some of the blood/urine work done. If there are problems...we might not get to leave when we expected to. Ben has said he is starting to feel a little better, so hopefully tomorrow will be even better and the doctor will give us the ok to leave.

Today was a bit better work wise. It was nice. It may have helped that I worked about an hour less than normal. Only two people in my department on my project are in tomorrow (out of six) and I'm hoping to leave early. Since things are rather slow though, I don't foresee this being a problem.

Wednesday: I'm not sure what I'll write about yet

Hmm, well, it was another slowish day today. Oh! I saw the KMax. I actually saw it yesterday too. It is thin and kind of looks like a fish. Let me see if I can find a picture. The one I saw is grey, but pretty much looks like this. It is supposed to be RC, but we always saw a pilot flying it.
I fell asleep while watching our daily during dinner show. I just couldn't keep my eyes open. And the laundry has all been folded, now it just needs to be put away. I feel like there is going to be a lot to do tomorrow before we leave, but it might go faster than anticipated.

Tuesday

Well, today was kind of a sleepy day, although I haven't taken a nap yet. I didn't join the Bible Study group for the fun thing of the week. I feel a little guilty. But obviously not that guilty or I'd be there. Sigh. I'll just chalk it up to being summer and Ben not feeling well and an almost headache.

Here are some of my pictures from the trip this weekend.

Monday

Well, I was going to post some pictures from the weekend but I left my camera upstairs still. :( And right now I'm too lazy to go get it.

I don't have many other things to say. I had 63 unread emails when I got into work, which I thought was fairly amazing. I don't think I usually get that many.

Flurry's been cute and following me around a lot lately.

I feel like there is a lot I need to do before we leave on vacation, but I think if I at least do a little bit every day I should be ok.

Thursday: NYC

Well, we made it to NYC safely.  We checked into a lovely hotel and then went and did some shopping.  I got a dress for around the house and a sweatshirt.  Then we went to eat.  I had some veal in gorgonzola cheese sauce.  It was delicious.  I love cheese.  Except American.  I love how they all have different tastes but obviously have something in common.

Anyway, we walked around for a bit after that and went to the top of Rockefellar Center to see the city at night.  It was pretty.

Wednesday: they're here!

The Hilldore girls made it over here, even with some plane troubles.
Flurry enjoys being included as one of the girls too.

Tuesday: Flurry and the catepillar

For your viewing pleasure: another Flurry video

Bother...I can't get it to embed. Here is the link: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7498580757738201956&hl=en

What you don't see in the video is that Flurry did kill the caterpillar, ate it, and left caterpillar liquid on the floor. Oh well, I guess it's a small price to pay for having a bug free house.
