Scheduling my next trip

So I talked with my niece the other day and she was asking questions about college and how crazy her parents make her and everything like that. But here is the thing that got me. I knew that she was graduating HS this year, but it didn't really sink in until she asked me if I could be there for her graduation. I felt old and proud at the same time. :) So I know that I will be in Ohio for her graduation on June 1st. Because there is no way that I won't be there for that. I had hoped that I would have a chance to go to Ohio before that too. Maybe I can arrange to be in Ohio for Easter but I am not sure...that is when Anna will be in China. I don't want to be in Ohio and Anna not be there. I guess I could always spend time with Kim, my other niece. :) I might try to go earlier if I can but I just have no idea bout my schedule. -sigh-

Oh it snowed here on Sunday and I managed to take some pretty pictures of the trees covered by the snow. If I can figure out how I will add the pictures this week and the people who aren't still covered in snow can look at appreciate them. I am not sure you guys further north would.

Well no cable for me

So I decided to get Netflicks the other day. I get 2 weeks for free and then it is only $18 a month, so I thought that was a pretty good idea. So I spent that night (I think it was Monday) puting about 200 movies and tv DVDs in my list of movies to get. I got the first 2 on Tuesday. Guess what I got first....I was so happy. It was MacGuyver the first DVD of the First season. That and the Guardian...that Coast Guard Movie. So that is exciting. I figured that it would save me money...I mean I am barely home to watch anything as it is and this way I can wathc what I want and not some crappy tv show during the week. It will be my stuck in the 80's TV shows and other movies that I want to see. (also, probably from the 80's) So we will see how it goes.

Ok enough of the snow.

So ok I have had enough snow now. All I wanted was a little bit. Well it is not the snow so much as the ice. I have made it in to work today so that is good. But I looked at the weather for Ohio and it is supposed to snow all weekend where my mom lives. This is not good. I mean I would make it there on Friday and be trapped in the house with my family for 3 days and I wouldn't be guaranteed a way to escape...that and I have to be at work on Tuesday. But also did I mention that I stuck in the house with no way of getting out or going shopping or eating real food or only spending time with certain members of your family.

So I have to call my aunt and tell her we are not going. -sigh- That sucks. I really wanted to go. Darn weather. I mean I like it to stay home from work but I don't like it because it messes up my plans. But I did find a plane ticket to Dayton from BWI for $133 so that is good. Maybe I will just fly up with the temp isn't a negative number.

Now I have to come up with something to do over the weekend. Maybe a movie...or I could finally go an get my hair done. The possibilities are endless. Ideas are welcome. :)

Snow Day

I have decided to avoid the Crazy drivers of MD and VA and stay home today. It is already snowing and it has covered my car. But I said that I would work from home instead(I brought stuff home to work on last night). So I am in comfy clothes and I opened the blinds to the sliding glass door and I am watching the snow fall. Maybe if I get industrious I will make hot chocolate later and do a little cleaning up.

So this weekend I am supposed to be going to Ohio. I am taking Friday off and since Monday is a holiday I am going to visit my family. So that is exciting. I am also asked my aunt if she wanted to go with me and she said yes. So we are leaving Friday morning and coming back home on Monday. I am excited because I am going to pick up some of the stuff that my parents have been keeping for me. Like my Rose china and some furniture. But with all of the snow here and in Ohio I am not sure if we will still go. I told them that I would make the decision on Thursday night/Friday morning. So we will have to wait and see. :)

Sorry Sarah I don't think that I will have time to see you on this trip. :(

Yay for my own bed and outlets!

So I got back from Travel Sunday night and I have never been so happy to sleep in my own bed. I always feel so tired when I travel...It doesn't matter what or how much I do when I am traveling. I mean we got done most night real early but I was tired the whole time I was down in NC. Then I worked Sat. and drove back on Sun. so I didn't get a weekend. I feel like I didn't get anything accomplished. I mean that is when I run my errand and everything. So i got back and had to go to work bright and early the next morning. So I have been working since last Monday. But the good thing about this is that I am taking Friday off next week to drive to Ohio and I don't have to use a vacation day. So that is good. And we stopped at the outlets on the way back from NC. So that was good too. But I went in looking for pants and what did I find...shirts. I got 3 sweaters and 4 polo's. So that was good and all but I still need more pants...Oh well you can't win them all. :)
