I feel like my vacation has flown by really really fast. While I still have the rest of today, and a long weekend with labor day, it just sucks having to go back to work. I really feel though that this was an almost perfect vacation. Tuesday we went to the Great NY state fair, that was fun, the drive however is a two hour drive ! I get motion sickness so we stopped along the way. Once there, there was alot to do and to eat. I had in order upon arriving a bottle of water and a carmel apple then I had a hot dog and a pint of beer, then I had two 25 cent cups of chocolate milk, for dinner a gyro and apple pie a la mode. Then we grabbed a bag of kettle corn on the way out. We burned a lot of calories, we walked the entire time we were there stopping to eat or to go to the restroom. In all we were there about 6 hours.
Wednesday we went to Darian lake. I loved it I have not been to an amusement park in a very long time.
Thursday we had breakfast with some friends then drove to Niagara on the Lake. We did some shopping, had dinner at the Rain Forrest Cafe, then hit the casino on the way home. I lost but Jenn won a little over $150, not bad.
Today we slept in, cleaned our house, did some yard work, and some laundry. Later we will be meeting Cathy and Amber out for some adult beverages and dancing. We haven’t done that in awhile. This weekend we will be hosting a labor day cook out, with family and friends, and the weather is looking good for that.
There is still three days left and Jenn and I are really happy we had this time to reconnect with eachother. We are already talking about taking more time off this fall. Our favorite time of year.

So today was the first day of my vacation, and much was accomplished. I woke up a bit groggy, as my body tried waking me up several times between my usual hour of getting up at 5:30, then again every five or so minutes. This went on until about 7am, at which point I must have fallen alseep because then I awoke at 9:30. It was kind of sorta sleeping in, but not really. I am sure next Tuesday when it is time for me to go back to work I will have the opposite problem. I won’t be able to wake up !
Once I woke up I had some breakfast, played with Lucy, and dropped off Matty at pre -school. When I got back I cut the grass, weeded, trimmed some bushes in the back yard, picked some veggies, hung up a pretty turtle on my porch, swept my porch, watered my plants, vacuumed my car, washed it too. When I got home I waxed it and touched up the paint. I am beat and I still have a couple more things to do.
When Jenn got home we had dinner, then we had to drop off her car to get two new tires, oil change, and a fuel ingection cleaning. When all is said and done we would have put about $350 into it. Whay can’t it be free.
Then we went to Lowes to get some mums, and something to kill ivy. I have a bit growing on the side of the house. I need to get rid of it. So after we get her car I will b planting mums and Jenn will be spraying to kill the ivy !
Tomorrow we are going to the Great NY state fair ! Maybe I will post some pictures in the near future too. I took some really nice ones over the weekend at aparty we went to.

I woke up this morning thinking that I had the day off or at least I think someone, like my boss should have called me and said “you have the day off with pay, goodbye.” Well I can dream. Today I had to work 6am-2p and now I am on vacation until further notice, just joking, until September 2nd.
I am in the mood for some adult beverages tonight, I am not sure what kind maybe some bloody Mary’s. Don’t ask, I know it is a weird drink to really like. I like to make them spicy and sip them slowly. Oh and stick a couple of olives in there too. I am drooling right now, not joking.
As for our vacation Jenn and I have lots of good things planned next week. I will write more as we do things. Maybe even download pictures of our adventures.
Did I mention today I am beat ! Those damn olympics are wearing me out they end at 12:00 am, sometimes 12:30, and then I have to get up at 5:30 in the morning.
I have no idea what I am making for dinner. Every night this week I have made a really good dinner, but today looks like it may turn out to be a bowl of cereal or ice cream dinner. Jenn and Matty of cours like dinners like that. Who wouldn’t. I enjoy my veggies though, and tonight was going to be a meatless night. I was thinking about making a veggie, and tofu chili, but who has the energy for chopping and stirring. I don’t.
I picked 10 tomatoes today, a bunch of cilantro, 2 cukes, 1 melon, and 15 peaches. So we can eat that, sounds good.
I need a nap now, goodbye !
