The first day of vacation up here has been pretty relaxing.  We hung out at the house this morning with my hardest task being logging into work and entering my timesheets.  We went out and got our favorite steak subs for lunch and ate them here. 

Then we headed out for shopping.  Nothing extravagant.  Although I did find Coupon Mom’s book at a discount store for $1.99.  I plan to read some of that this evening.  Since we’ve been back from shopping, the girls are playing, I’ve been on the computer…you know, the normal Bennett household.  But it’s all fun computer stuff and not work computer stuff. 

I think we might go out and grab some take-out and finish the first day out at home.  Very, very relaxing so far.

I have nothing interesting to report for today except I sat in a car all day long and drove.  But the good, yet uninteresting, news is we made it without incident.

So our big system implementation that got postponed the Friday before last is going on as we speak.  I have had 3 issues, 2 of them have been resolved.  And now I’m waiting on a system administrator to call me before I can fix the last one.  Hence, I’m bored at work once again.  So, here’s the rambling….

Have I mentioned we’re going to Maryland in the morning?

I haven’t packed a single thing

I did wash all of our clothes this weekend though

Scott has to work so he isn’t going

We’ll be gone from Thursday to Sunday or Monday

My Mom and Dad originally going by themselves

It’s my mom’s high school reunion this weekend

But two weeks ago my grandmother was diagnosed with breast cancer

And yesterday had surgery

This surgery was successful

But she opted to not have a full masectomy even though now she has a higher chance of reocurrence and will probably need chemo/radiation

I’m not that happy about

So I’m going this weekend to make a visit to her and also to have a vacation because my company has Monday off anyway

Yesterday I cancelled band practice because I had the kids, I’m not at church tonight and the guitar player had a job interview

I’m missing a really great speaker tonight at youth

I hope everything is running fine without me…the band, the video, the video recording, the powerpoints.

I need to teach people how to do all that so I don’t have to

I met Melissa at Starbuck’s last night and we chatted for over 2 hours

I had a great time

We should do that more often

My implementation is having more issues…gotta go
