Travel

So it is just over a week before I leave for a week long vacation to Virginia/North Carolina. I am so very excited. It has been almost 6 1/2 years since I have been back east. I am really excited to see my Edenton Momma Deb. Tonight I made the reservations for the car and the hotel for the first two days, but I think it is pretty funny that the LaQuinta next to the Norfolk International Airport is more expensive then the LaQuinta in Virginia Beach, even the one right on the ocean. So I made reservations at the one in VB that is 7 miles away from the airport and I will be saving $40 doing it. But I will also have to put up with 7 miles of rush hour traffic. Oh well! I am so glad that Anne is going to be coming with me. It would have been really boring if I had to go by myself. I could have asked a former mission companion to come with me, but then I would have had to go and see some of their old areas, and I wanted to be selfish. My plan is to spend a couple days in Norfolk and Portsmouth, then spend the remainder of the week in and around Edenton.

I do feel pretty bad because I will be missing some things by going on this trip. Stacie's birthday, Kyrstin's birthday, and Jennifer's graduation. But I hopefully be going down to see Jen in July and we can spend some quality time together. Kyrstin won't know I am not there. And I will see Stacie some time this next month.

Now I just need to make sure everything at work is finished before I leave.

New and Improved?

So I have moved into my in between office. It is big and cold and I am not so sure I like it. But it is only temporary until the maintenance department runs a new phone and internet line to my new office. There hasn't been anyone in my new office since internet was run through the phone line. I am worried that the big wigs in the administration building where my in between office is will think I am slacking off because I have to be in my office a lot this week. I have to write a bunch of reports and they might think I am hiding. Oh well, all I can do is all I can do.

Silly is being just that. Last night I was reading as I was laying on the couch and she decided that it was a good time to attack the stings and zipper pull on the hoodie jacket I was wearing. I really need to remember to watch out for her claws. She still seems to think it is okay to put her claws on my face, but we are working on that. I did make her some toys, she plays with one but not the other. Last night she decided it was time to run around the house like something was chasing her. I am kind of worried though. I cleaned out her litter box today and I don't think she is using it for #1, but only #2. SO I need to find out where she is going and fast so I can put a stop to it.

I didn't really get too much accomplished this weekend. I spend most of Saturday watching conference. But I did go and see "Clash of the Titans" and I really like it. Everyone else in my family was able to watch it in 3D but we are lucky to get first run movies here, so I can't complain. I sat close enough to the screen that it might as well have been 3D. I watched conference on Sunday too, but I also made a roast with potatos, carrots, and onions for linner. I had two helpings and I have six helping left over. I really need to learn how to cook for one. Oh well, at least I will have a lot of left overs to take to work. I started reading Eclipse again so I can be ready for the movie in June. I started it yesterday afternoon, I am almost finished with it. Oh well.

Silly Little Things

So I have finally gotten up the courage to get another cat. Her name is Sylvia and she is a solid grey kitty who is just over a year old. I call her Silly for short, well mainly it is because it comes off of the tongue a lot easier when I call her. But it also seems to fit because she does the silliest little things. She doesn't seem to understand the idea of personal space. Or that my face isn't suppose to have her claws on it. The other day she jumped into the bathtub and decided to give lovin's to the tub, rubbing all over it. She also stole this stuffed little cat that I have (that actually looks exactly like her) and takes it under the bed with her. And tonight I brought home an owl feather I found, Silly stole it and now it lies in pieces in the corner. And I am happy.
