Its nice to know I only have to work an 8 hour day for a change today (for the last couple of weeks, my days have ranged in length from 6:30 - 10 hours, but never settled on 8).

Nick moved in last night (Nick Saadah, NOT my brother Nick, he's still in Vermont, sorry about that confusion worried friends and family). Its nice to know there'll be some activity in the house for a while. It sounds like he's planning on staying until the beginning of December. Now, I just need to find a roommate for winter semester because both Nick and Kennda will be gone - talk about an empty house!

Once again, I have no plans for the weekend. The weather looks like its going to be spectacular, so I'm thinking of taking the dogs down to the beach. Or doing something else suitabley outdoorsy. And finishing my Scotland scrap book. And doing my homework (that is if I can make out the words on my rapidly blurring monitor at home). And if I'm lucky (lucky?), my lawn mower will come in and I can beat back the rapidly growing grass.

Carter quoted a James Taylor song in his journal, making me want to spend all day listening to James Taylor. Its one of those random things that makes me nostalgic about my job in Switzerland (which I didn't actually like that much... actually, thinking about how much I didn't like it is making me feel much less disgruntled about my job here and downright happy about what I do). David's two James Taylor CD's were pretty much the only thing everyone in the office (of about 8 of us) all enjoyed, and thus, was the only thing that we ever played on the office speakers instead of our headphone (leading to weird looks from the full-time, conservative, GERMAN, engineers). Sometimes things degenerated into sing-a-longs. Ah. Good times. :)
