VACATION HERE I COME!

Well, we're all packed. I hope. Costumes ready, alternations done, clothes packed, medicine refilled and put away. We are headed to Florida. I'm really excited. Prissy has her Dance Twirl competition on Tuesday and her Solo (the big one) on Wednesday, and then team events on Friday and Saturday. We're so looking forward to Nationals and to DisneyWorld afterward. I also get to spend some time with my college roommate - she is actually a rocket scientist and works at NASA. I haven't had a chance to see her since my wedding (almost 10 years now) and even then I didn't get to spend much relaxed time with her (I was focused on my wedding a bit too much I think.)

Anyway - iPhone 2.0 ROCKS! I've spent way too much money on new apps though. There are some really neato games. And yes, I did say neato - because that is what I mean. I've already bought a solitare game, a suduku game and Monkey Balls - yes, I know they are also on the web, but now I can play them without the slowness of the web annoying me.

I truly do have the ultimate cell phone.

Smoking Sun and Moon

Wow - this almost looks like night, but I took it from my car on the
way to work this morning.

This one looks surprisingly like the sun picture but was taken outside
our house this evening.

It is done

Yes, the week from hell is over.

I'm very glad.

The worst is over. Now, it's to packing and getting ready for vacation. Ahhh...

On a positive note - I updated my iPhone with the new 2.0 software (and it worked just fine thank you very much.) I even get my work mail on it now (does that mean I'll check it while I'm on vacation? Hmmmm....) It's slick. I still love my iPhone as much as the day I got it. It's seriously the coolest piece of gadgety equipment I've ever had. Did anyone get the new one today? I had some coworkers go to check it out but there were lines around the corner of the store. If you did get it - did you have the old one and is the new one really that much faster?

Ok, I think that is about all for today - I might try to post some pictures of the sun and the moon (they were taken with my phone in transit however, so they aren't the best quality.) The smoke has risen up in the air so the sun and moon look really weird - all orangey and pretty.

Light at the end of the Tunnel

This picture pretty much sums up how I'm feeling today. It has been an incredibly long week. I have one more day (with my boss and big boss (VP of company)) of meetings. Then, I'm going on vacation.

This week has gone so much better than I originally expected work wise - but it's been so intense that I'm pretty much completely exhausted. On a personal level - I've gotten quite a bit done. We ended up borrowing a totally different costume for Prissy. Whosh! We got someone to take care of the cats and the pool. Whosh! I just have to do all the packing and refills of drugs and such. Almost there. I'm starting to feel a little bit less stress now. I just have to get through tomorrow!

Florida (and two weeks off of work) here I come!
