Fall of Atlantis (three books in one combined volume)
2 more "Bones" mysteries
What movies and/or tv shows did I watch this month?
Royal Pains (cute but forgettable)
Warehouse 13 (see above…)
Zombie Strippers (you don't want to know)
What special days did I celebrate and how?
None particularly, but our anniversary is coming up this week.
What gifts did I give and/or receive?
Lots more birthday cards/calls.
Baby card for Ciara.
What illnesses or health concerns did I have?
Same lingering sinus infection from last update. I'm going back to
the Dr. on the 5th again about it. I do not want to still have it
when we head to Disney. Ruptured eardrums are no fun.
Brian got his custom orthotics from the podiatrist, so he's getting
adjusted to them.
What fun things did I do with my friends and/or family?
Loads of card/games with the Henagans.
Made reverse/resist dyed shirts for Disney.
Finished Fantasy Triptych!
What new foods, recipes or restaurants did I try this month?
New citrus marinade for chicken on the bbq. Yum.
Grilled Mahi-Mahi in my ongoing attempt to work more seafood into our
diet. Not so yum…
What special or unusual purchases did I make?
See next question down…
What were this month's disappointments?
Brian's DM being a complete jerk about vacation time. He's had the
same week booked off for Disney since April 1st. We leave Sept. 19th.
The new restaurant is now scheduled to open Sept. 15th. Guess who
just had his vacation time effectively cancelled? So we've had to
rebook the trip and are now going earlier. But we had less than 3
days to replan everything or be charged change fees. Thankfully, we
pressed DM for an answer so we could avoid them. Once I actually
remember to do so from home (no access from work) I'll update the
ticker above to show the correct date.
What were my accomplishments this month?
Rebooking our entire Disney trip on no notice and managing to even get
most of our dining reservations that we'd had with the original trip.
Having FANTASTIC Disney customer service even allow us to keep the
free dining on the trip even though that promotion is now over. That
phone call deserves it's own blog post! And, because of the change in
airfare over the long weekend, it was actually cheaper to stay two
more nights than to come back after 9 days like originally planned.
And since it incorporates the long weekend, I *just* have enough days
off to do it. I'd been saving one in reserve for unplanned
emergencies.
Anything else noteworthy to record?
Not that comes to mind immediately…
What made me smile this month?
Fresh peas from the garden.
Realizing that because of the rebooking, I'd be at my Happiest Place
on Earth in exactly a month. (Can you tell I've been living for this
vacation?)
Surpassing the 10 pound mark on my weight loss goals.
Holding Ciara and managing both to get her to burp (twice!) and have
her fall asleep in my arms.
