All over the place

That's exactly where I've been. Last week was a short week as I was in Charlotte on Monday. Then I was in Philly over the weekend for the diaconate. I thought this week would slow down at least a tad... but not so much. Tomorrow I might have to go to Philly in the morning to interview someone for my job, and since I was heading there tomorrow after work anyway, I'll just stay after the interview. Which will actually work out quite nicely.

But that means I'll be out of the office tomorrow and Friday. And I have to leave early today as I'm working a concert in the city. So I've been trying to get everything situated to be out for two days... insanity! But again, it will work out nicely if I can get to Philly tomomorrow morning, and not have to drive home in rush hour traffic!

Tomorrow night I'm hoping to get my nails done, and head to D and Pat's new house to help with painting and the like. Friday morning Maureen and I are off to VA for Kate and Bob's wedding! It's going to be a crazy but fun weekend. Then I have a full week of work and I'm off to Jumby Bay for vacation!!

And in 24 days... I'll be livin in the south!

Sadness

Silly mountain biking! Ar got hurt last night at the summer series races. She seems to be doing ok -- has a sexy sling for her left arm (ok, I havent seen it -- but I'm sure its sexy) and is on tons of good drugs. And thats really all that matters, right?

Other than that not much going on. This weekend I'm headed home for D's bachelorette party on Saturday night. Then Dooz's deaconate on Sunday. So I'll be at the Cathedral for about 2 hours, then a huge family party following it. Then back to Jersey for another short work week (I'm off on Friday to head to VA for Kate and Bobs wedding!)

I just wish this stinkin rain would stop so maybe I could oh I dont know RIDE MY BIKE! Or even just get to and from work in under 2 hours... that would also rock. When will people learn how to drive in the rain?

Finally Here!

After 8.5 hours at Newark International, one flight cancelation, a few dozen thunder storms up and down the east coast, and about 15 flight delays... I finally got into Charlotte at 1am this morning. Ar caffinated herself enough to wait up to come pick me up.

I was just so happy the last flight didn't get canceled though! Andrew came this morning and we went to Alex's Brown Derby for breakfast. I'm thinking about taking a little nap before showering and going to bring Ar lunch at the shop. then I'm thinking of heading to Starbucks to get some SUN! It's pretty nice (and hot) out here today so thats good.

But really all that matters is that I AM HERE! Cause I honestly wasn't sure I was going to make it. Whew.
