Vacation recap

We both can't believe we are back at work. Neither one of us made it to the gym this morning. Perhaps tomorrow. 

Here's a quick recap of the remainder of our vacation:

Wednesday I went out to eat lunch with my friend S. It was her birthday. Afterwards I went to help my sister W2 out because her husband was on a business trip. W stayed home curled up on the living room floor crying. He missed me.

Thursday and Friday were relaxing days. We did some shopping and went to the driving range. 

Sunday was very busy with 2 birthday party's. Our niece L turned one! I'll post some pictures when I upload them.

Well, back to work!

More on the movie

Seeing Star Trek yesterday proves that I cry at everything. The beginning was a bit emotional for me. Overall the movie was great. They did a great job choosing the actors. And for all the hard core Trekkie's out there they used all the good lines from the first show.

We heard "Dammit, I'm a doctor not a bricklayer" and "I'm givin' you all she's got, Captain". They even poked fun at never really knowing Lt. Uhura's first name.

The only issue I have with these types of movies is that it's set in the Hay Day of Jim Kirk. He's making crazy decisions as a younin' and the other characters are like "but Jim, you'll die" and you're thinking "go ahead Jim, you won't, I know you won't".

Great movie, I enjoyed it a lot. Go out and see it.

Today we are going to the book store and the Cheesecake factory. I'm getting hungry just thinking about it!

Vacation

E and I started our joint vacation week by seeing the new Star Trek movie. Thought it was great all the actors did great jobs with the characters we all know and love.

We then went for Sundays at Friendly's. Great day all in all.

So far so good. I started with a blizzard from Dairy Queen. Who knows what tomorrow will bring. I'm hoping for the day to at least start later than 7am.

2.5 days and counting!

Then I'm on vacation! AND the best part is. . . it's supposed to rain the whole week!!!! Wooo-hoooo! Yeah, woo, yeah. 

We are planning on going to Foxwoods one day. I'm staying over my sister W2's house on Wednesday to help out since her husband is going on a business trip.

I guess I'll have tons of relaxing to do. I think there's an indoor golfing place nearby. We may try that out. W doesn't know this yet. Wait! . .  he just read this, now he knows.

Let's hope the weatherman is wrong.

W's vacation

The great thing about W being on vacation is, I don't have to cook! Woo-hoo!

Update on the condo - we had someone look at the place on Saturday. The realtor called and said the only concern for the potential buyer is how loud the pool could get. She also said that we were priced a little high. Hello - make us a lower offer, it's not set in stone. 

She said she'd call either way towards the end of the week if the woman wanted to look at it again. I'll let you know how that goes. 

Went to Art in the Park on Sunday with Mother-Sister-in-Law, nephews and MIL's friend. It poured. Last year it was 95 out. I'm not sure if I'll go next year.

Vacation

W back again, and I'm on vacation. Gotta love it. I'm off for 2 weeks (stupid banking regulations) while E is working next week and joining me for week #2. Golf and relaxation are my only plans. Week 2 we may do some day trips around New England. The only thing I'm looking for is relaxation.

Should be fun.

Monday again?

Monday's here and didn't start well for W. His manager called in sick so now W has to work 10 hours today. His manager does this every time W's vacation is coming up, that's next week. 

The weekend flew by. I got to see my Grandparents, my Uncles D and G, my two Aunts K and E, and my cousin R. The house is now clean! E and I also helped G bring carry this HUGE computer desk out of my Grandparents living room to the downstairs. It was very scary. E and I were going down the stairs and when you looked up all you saw was this very tall and heavy cabinet ready to squish you. I think I might of said loudly "I'm not feeling very comfortable doing this!" I didn't. 

Sunday we had our last open house unless one of our neighbors have one. No one showed up but an annoying neighbor. It will sell eventually. That's what we keep telling ourselves.

The longest week

Ever notice the week after a short holiday week seems that much longer? Friday can't come quick enough.

We showed the condo on Tuesday, the lady LOVED it. Apparently not enough to buy it. I am so sick of cleaning my house. I thank God that it's small enough so it doesn't take too much time. 

I'm leaving W again this weekend for my semi-annual cleaning weekend at my Grandparents. It will be so nice to see them. I have to come home on Saturday night though because of our open house.

We were talking about not having them anymore because no one is showing. The rule is, if our neighbors aren't having one, neither are we. 

I wonder what W will do with out me being around?
