I'm Back!

Go check hubby's flickr for some pictures from our Thailand vacation.  I'll post my pictures later, hopefully with some travel journal entries.

Ps. We completed the PADI Open Water Diver course. Yay!

Procrastinator is my middle name

Today's theme has been panic but not because I haven't packed yet but because of all the stuff that needs to be taken care of at work before I head home around noon tomorrow. Well, my To Do list for tomorrow morning is not that very long.

As far as packing is concerned, I only need to pack light clothes as the weather is expected to be steady 30+ C (high 80s to to low 90s F) by day and about 25 C (mid to high 70s F) by night... It's definitely a pleasant change to chilly winds and slush we got today -- and probably for some while now.

We'll be back on the 16th, hopefully as PADI certified scuba divers and with loads of pictures to share. I can't promise I'll be able to get online while in Thailand. But I'll sure have plenty of travel stories (with pictures) to tell once we're back home.

Now, I gotta start from somewhere to get my packing going... Maybe by putting my camera batteries into recharger and plugging in my iPod so I'll have something to listen to on that long flight.

Thursday is nearing fast...
...thank goodness.

The reason: check the ticker up there...

Our office is moving to a new location this week.

I hate moving... Actually, let me rephrase that. I hate packing and unpacking.

So, I watched a movie last night.

I ended up choosing Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. As a kid, the book was one of my favorites and I read it several times. And now as an adult, the movie still appeals to me. I think it's a sweet (no pun intended) movie about good things happening to those who wait and expect nothing more.

I've been so tired this week (I'm in need of vacation...) and I ended up dozing off at the end of the movie...

I think I'll have a movie night today.

Any suggestions on what to watch?

Edited later on (at about 10:20 pm):
I think  I'll take a rain check on watching a movie. I started to feel kind of tired so I'd better call it a day early-ish (i.e. before midnight) for a change.

Nate and I are done for now...

So Typical of Me

I've been sick all through Christmas. I'm now at work to get the most essential things done before I head home for the rest of week.

This is so typical of me to come down with cold just when I'd have time to just be – or just exactly why I finally did come down with cold as I've been able to dodge getting sick all through fall when everyone else seemed to be sniffing, having stuffy nose, sore throat etc.

Well, this sucks but I'm still okay under the circumstances.

But now, I'll finish work for today, grab my work laptop to go and head home to rest (or play PS3). Sounds like a plan, eh?
