I knew it was bound to happen. This morning I suddenly realized I was going the wrong way to work. That’s such a GREAT feeling, knowing that you have to backtrack. Puts a smile on your face and a kick in your step, it does. Obviously, I needed way more sleep than I got.

The drive home from VT was much more annoying than the drive up, because it insisted on raining 95% of the way. We took a lot of stops on the way up, which was good because we were in vacation mode, but on the way back we probably shouldn’t have stopped as often as we did. We didn’t get home until about 7pm, at which point there was a thunder storm going on, and we passed a house that had lost half a tree from a lightening strike (the fire department et. al. were there). Thank GOD IN HEAVEN that it didn’t happen as I was driving by or I’d be in a straightjacket right now, instead of typing to you. I hate hate hate lightening.

Anyhoo, back to the grind for a WHOLE WEEK and then a week’s vacation. Woo!

We’re here in St. Albans with ZERO ZERO ZERO phone/internet connectivity
on my SideKick. Luckily there’s a computer in the hotel lobby that I can
use to check my mail and send some out.

You may not hear back from me until tomorrow. Try to have a good day
without me.

It’s Thursday, so you know what that means!

No?

I was hoping you knew.

Okay, instead of the usual tripe, I’ve go a link to someone else’s
tripe. Or more specifically someone else’s pickled pork rinds and other
things one shouldn’t eat.

It’s very very funny stuff, but the photos of the food items may cause
you to question humanity.

Going to a family reunion this weekend. This is for my mother’s father’s side of the family. I’m trying to decide if I should bring my digital camera or my video camera. I’m leaning toward video, just because that might be more fun for her to look at later, after I burn it down to a DVD. Do you think perfect strangers who happen to share a common relative n generations ago will be happy to be on camera? I’m not sure.

The reunion is in upper upper upper Vermont. That’s a lot of Vermont to drive through.

Maybe we’ll try to find

• Sandra Bullock’s sister’s bakery.
• Those lesbians with the maple syrup farm from the Postcards from Buster PBS show.
• Our way back home on Sunday

Coupla random thoughts. You know, corn nibblets. (Nibblets? Where is my dictionary…)

• Weather.com’s 15 day forecast, while probably not anything close to accurate, is now officially giving weather predictions for the week we’re on vacation. Right now it looks sunny and in the mid-to-high 70s. As long as it isn’t going to be a whole lot cooler down on the Cape, I’m good with that.
• Still job hunting. Not loving that at all.
• For some reason, my current “editing” pen at work is a hot pink Pilot Razor Point, extra fine. It adds a little pizzazz to my day. And you know, right about now, I’m taking all the pizzazz I can get.
• I don’t know how to spell pizzazz. Neither does the blogger spell checker. I did not mean pixies, thanks.
• I found some shoes I want to order from Amazon.com, but I don’t know if I should. What if they don’t fit, or look uglier on my feet than they do in the picture?
• Today’s breakfast – a raspberry white chocolate chip scone. Now I can face the day!
