Countdown to Erie

I am packed and ready to go! Nate, I would love to go to Niagra Falls, and I am game to do anything and everything while we are there, possibly even a boat ride. I will bring plenty of Dramamine and some animal crackers to keep my stomach settled. Hershey Store, anyone?

I will be coming into Cleveland on Delta 4188 from Atlanta. I am supposed to arrive in Cleveland at 2:09, but since I am connecting through Atlanta Nate will probably want to check to make sure the flight is on time before he comes to pick me up. I have never had a connecting flight through Atlanta that left on time. I will call from Atlanta if it looks like the flight will be delayed, but Nate, I need your phone number!

Tick is going to be home alone for the weekend, so if any of you want to stop by and give her a pig ear I'm sure she would appreciate it. Jo is going to come by and feed her every day. The food bin and her dishes are under the kitchen counter, and pig ears and biscuits are in the top of the coat closet. Please keep the bags on the top shelf of the closet because if you leave them down where she can reach them she will eat the entire bag in one sitting. She once ate an entire four pound bag of Beneful because I left it down where she could get to it.

I will post pictures when I get back. Barnes family, I can't wait to see you!

Gotcha!

Well, almost. Here you see Marge inside the jaguar skull. She was on her back but she appears to have flipped right-side-up as I snapped the picture. I will continue to stalk her.

Proof that Tick does more than just sleep - sometimes she snacks! Here she is pushing her stupid treat ball around the house. She whines and whines and whines for this thing. Why can't my dog be happy with a non-edible chew toy like Baby?

Not Much

All right, I really have nothing to blog about but I don't want to be the weakest link!

Grandma Joann and I took a trip to Logan yesterday to attend a temple session, then we spent an hour visiting with Aunt Ila.

I spent several hours every day at work last week trying to get my room put together for our open house this Thursday. Jamie will be in to help me this week, and hopefully we will be able to get some interviews done and hire someone before the open house. I realize that that may be pushing it, but I can always hope. I printed off a list of my high school students last week to find that, once again, they have royally screwed things up for me. I had to have one of the counsellors fax the class lists to Marie in Alaska so that she could get all of the students squared away where they need to be. Nobody will let me do that, despite the fact that I have been there for 19 years and I actually do know what is going on.

Other than working I am just waiting for Friday so I can fly out to spend the weekend with the Barnes family.
