Road Trip!

Yeah!

So I am going on a road trip tomorrow. Nothing very exotic but a simple business trip from Austin to Plano. To attend some meetings. And I will be driving.

Yep. May the powers that be have mercy! I am not too fond of driving and am direction impaired. So let's see how this goes.

This morning, I started packing. Which means I started making a list of things I need to take with me. So I can throw it all into a bag as soon as I come home from work. 

At first my list seemed OK. But then it dawned on me.... how many gadgets am I taking for this trip? Shocking! Here is the list. You tell me if this is normal. Just so you know, I leave early on Wednesday and come back Thursday night.

List of Gadgets:

1. Work Blackberry and charger.
2. iPhone and charger.
3. Bluetooth device for car. So I can talk on phone hands free. It is a 4 hour drive at least.
4. iPod. Haven't really transferred all my music yet.
5. GPS. Haven't used it before but I hope it helps with directions. And I do not get lost. Dallas is a maze!
6. Work PC in case I need to access the work network.
7. Personal Mac to use all day and check my emails.
8. DSLR Nikon camera with 2 lenses in case I want to take photos.
9. Point and shoot camera for taking photos of the Plano office.
10. External hard drive in case I need to share some large files.
11. A very cute USB drive. Just so I look cool.

Question: Am I normal?

Kidnapped!

In case you are wondering... as soon as I landed in Cincinatti, I got kidnapped! They came in a huge limo and whisked me away. The kidnappers then made me watch the Fishing Show and even though I was terrified, I was so bored that I fell asleep.

When I woke up, I was at this location. And in front of my eyes, my abductor... Captain Jack Sparrow also known as Johnny Depp!

So that is where I have been for all this time. On a boat, sailing with Captain Jack Sparrow.

Unfortunately... I was rescued and thus I am back.

Thank you Mr. Mayor of Pottsville Mr. Mythos for your efforts to rescue me.

Le sigh!

Hello cincinati!

Here for my son 2's graduation. How ironic that he was born in this city!

3 moons and an alien ship

Last night I went out to take photos of the moon.

Here is my favorite one. Not really sure what the green stuff is. But I can say for sure that I was not abducted last night:)

Anyone have any theories about the green object? There were no planes flying when I took this shot. And I could see no green stuff in the sky. Do you think it is my lens over-correcting the blackness?

I am curious!

Happy 21st Son 2!

So my baby turns 21 today. Yeah!

Happy birthday to my son 2. My baby.

I can't help but feel relieved over this event. We work so hard to raise babies, hoping that they will learn values and become good human beings. But everything is trial and error. And guilt, tremendous, bone crushing guilt is somehow upon Moms every single day.

I shouldn't have fed him home baked cookies after school.

I should have forced him to eat Brussels sprouts.

I should and shouldn't... the list goes on and on and on...

Le sigh!

But today, I am going to forgo it all. And simply focus on the huge task I accomplished. I raised a child. And I am ready to let him go out there in the world. Watch out world here he comes!

As for me, I took the day off today to simply celebrate my success. Of course it is all about me. I made this happen didn't I? And yes his father and an entire village helped me accomplish this. But today... I am simply going to claim this as mine and savor it.

Guilt free!
