Nab, I didnt want to stand out in pictures. Bridesmaids and MIL are navy, so I should fit right in. Also, there are surprisingly few special occasion dresses in red, most are black, navy or beige.
My son got transferred to California in June, so that's why we are going there. Nothing special planned, a trip or two to a winery, the rest is wide open. I will probably do a lot of cooking of german meals, LOL. Just getting away and visiting sounds great to me.
Moo, I hear you on the clutter. My daughters old room was converted to an office (that we never use) some years ago, and has become a dumping ground for stuff. Last time my son visited, we barely got the bed cleard off, LOL. But now hubby has been doing a great job or cleaning stuff out. Some things kind of hurt, like he asked if I wanted to keep some books, but I know I won't read them, but we should really donate them (hardcover), but if I say that they will never leave this house, so out they went to the trash..
One of the things on my to do list for when I retire are the spices, lol, I know I have a ton that are way way way way old.
In other, non-news, I had a day that brought me closer to retirement!
First 9am meeting, not in itself tragic, I made it OK. Then a bunch stressful stuff at work. Oh, and my laptop died last night, windows would not start, and my work laptop is a piece of crap that didnt work right and needed to be reconnected to the network at work. So I lugged 2 laptops in this morning.
Luckily, a guy at work was able to fix my personal laptop. Got out of work late, and ran into traffic jams from Heck. Just past the worst of the jams, it started raining badly, and it got dark. Do you know how much i hate driving in the dark and driving in the rain? Now I got both combined!!
So I finally made it home after the commute took 45 mins longer than usual and tried to wrangle 2 laptops, an umbrella, a purse and a bag of food to the house in the pouring rain, but only after dropping my keys twice!
Then finally, I am home, got changed, got a beer, my computer is working (yay), and just settling in to do some work and the power and internet
went out!!!!
So, there I sat in the dark, but my PC worked, and i played some solitaire on the harddrive and started reading a book on kindle. Finally after 35 mins the power came back on.
Hopefully tomorrow will be better, we have a team outing in the afternoon. Lunch (paid by disney) at Rose and Crown ( I think I will go for the steak) and then a marine mammal enrichment experience at the Seas pavilion.
Well, that was a long post, lol, hope i dont lose it
