Mentally preparing for the big 5K tomorrow morning. This is a huge event for our small town. Something like 1300 people are in the race. Our kids are running the 1 mile. I am so proud of them. It is going to be hot and humid tomorrow morning. Hope everyone stays hydrated. It is going to be a little scary (health wise).

   I took the day off work and have nothing to do. Also, thinking about going down to the Ozarks for a few days next week with the whole family. Should be interesting.

   Have taken a couple of days of vacation and am now in Sunnyvale (aka Silicon Valley). Will be attending high school reunion tonight if I don't chicken out. Very interesting/odd to be here after so many years.

I realized a couple of days ago that this is the first time I've taken off by myself in over 22 (yes TWENTY TWO) years.

Oh that's where we lived when we lived in California! Actually, we lived in Mountain View, but well, practically same difference. Hubby worked in Sunnyvale though. I love that area. We've been back in SC for 10 years and I still miss it a lot.

Have fun at your reunion! My 20 year reunion is coming up next year. I can hardly believe it.

   He was in the Air Force and stationed at the now defunct Onizuka Air Station. If you ever do make it out to SC let me know. Maybe we could have a Seppie lunch.

   Long ago it was Moffett NAS. Did you ever go to the air shows there? The Blue Angels were a popular attraction.

One of my sisters lives near D.C. I'd like to fly there then rent a car and wander. What is the best time of year to do that?

   My hubby always had to work them so I never went to the air shows. But my birthday is in October and just happened to always fall on fleet week. Since we always celebrated my birthday by spending the weekend in the city we got to watch the Blue Angels performing over the city and the bay while we were there which was really amazing!

To answer your question about traveling on this side of the country, Lil Sis has it right. Summers here are brutal, so unless you enjoy spending long periods in sauna conditions try to come in the spring or fall. Both seasons are very pretty here and the weather is near perfect.

   My mom still lives in Mountain View and we used to be able to watch the Blue Angels show at Moffat from her front yard. We also loved watching the Goodyear blimp land there.

BTW, the Blue Angels are in Seattle this weekend and they start their show by flying right up my street just above tree level. Way cool.

   So looking forward to relaxing with my family this weekend despite the fact that it may rain. I've discovered that my public library has a surprisingly extensive DVD collection (who knew!), so I grabbed several movies and plan to have them queued up if we find ourselves stuck in the house.

   I'm vacationing in L.A. at my daughter's. So, I'm thinking about going to City Walk tonight, and Huntington Beach next Monday to eat at place called Rocking Crepes.
Real deep stuff, huh?

VACATION

My mind and body needs to take the following steps:

First, it's clearing off the desk so I can leave work in good hands while I'm on vacation.

Second, I need to go to the store to buy things for vacation.

Then, I need to pick up things in our other car (parked 2 blocks away).

Finally, I need to PACK FOR VACATION.

Hopefully, I'll be able to get some sleep tonight. We're both last-minute folk. Plus, because though we pack for ourselves, I'm the physical packer of the suitcase. So, I can't do my stuff until he does his stuff. On the other hand, he packs the car so he can't finish until I do. This leads to the traditional arguing before vacation.

   I'm hoping my air conditioner gets fixed today. I've been without it since Tuesday. But I've been staying with friends so it hasn't been awful. I do want to be back in my own place soon, though.

Last night, I realized the 20 bottles of wine in my winerack in the living room are probably vinegar by now.

Oh the humanity.

Thank God the shelves I had at the shop fit very well in what was our garage/store room at home. Have the study full of book boxes I have to unpack till tomorrow as I already have orders to process. Thank God - hope orders keep coming in.

   My sister has sold books on line for 17 years. Takes a lot of work and discipline. She has a web site, a blog, and periodically sends out print catalogs.

It is hard work, you can do it!

   Thanks for the wishes! I have been selling online for three years now so its not a new system for me. It is lots of inputting and updating stuff but I love books so its a job i don't mind. it was not financially worth keeping the shop though. Have set up two new pick up points so its just a question of clients getting used to them. i do deliveries also. I loved the shop and the decision to close it was not an easy one but it had to be taken.

   After unpacking from one week in the cottage, DH and I will start planning for the crayfish-party we're hosting together with our neighbors tomorrow.

Eating crayfish in August is a Swedish tradition. We cook the crayfish in dill and salt and serve them with the shells. It is also tradition to wear silly hats and sing alot of songs with the schnapps. But we will go easy on the schnapps, since there children present at the party !

   That I hate a fellow Seppie {{Cough, Cough, Laura Z. Cough, Cough}}. Seriously. She should NEVER be trusted with a camera - ever! I asked her for a copy of all the pics she took during our DC trip from last year. I had a reasonable 100 and something pics, she had close to 450!! My computer is going to take forever to upload them onto my picasa site.

I dread looking at how many pics she took while in Orlando.

Sleeping...
But I have to take the dog out for a walk (even thou it's 00:25 a.m.) then I'll take the shower and off to bed.

But I've spend this weekend at the beach house and it was wonderful! The sea was a bit chilly but it didn't stop me from swimming, even my dog took a quick bath (then she barked at waves).

Tomorrow is another pointless day for me, maybe I'll finish my final thesis so I graduate in time.
