I thought I would have a ton of time to blog this week but it’s not really turning out that way at all.
5:30 hurt so bad on Monday morning. It was worse for Scott who had just gotten in from work at 2am and who ended up staying up all day. The flight was completely fine save 3 Chinese women who held up boarding when they stood in the aisle not knowing what to do when their luggage wouldn’t fit in overhead compartments. We were in our meeting by 11 and out by 5. Dinner lasted a few hours until we came home in time for TV and bed! Lather, rinse, repeat!
Monday was made of data flow diagrams, filet at an old steakhouse and One Tree Hill.
Tuesday was made of software demos, lasagna and tiramisu and American Idol.
Wednesday was made of data mapping, crab legs and American Idol results.
And that my friends is a general shell of my week so far. We’ve sat in meetings until we can not sit in a meeting anymore and between have eaten until we can not eat anymore. Full breakfast, snacks, coffee breaks, lunch, dinner, dessert. Let me tell you how bad it is. I actually ORDERED A FRUIT CUP at BOB EVAN’S this morning. And I ATE IT. I know my friends and family are probably shocked right now. I don’t usually turn down a good carb-filled (and free) breakfast like biscuits and gravy or french toast.
OK, let me get past the food. I’m traveling with 6 other people and we’ve had great conversation together. The guy in charge of this all, while probably 30 years my senior, has been great fun to talk to as he is a huge American Idol fan. We both put a time limit on our dinner to make it back in time for the show and complained at how bad the show was last night. I’m interested to know what he thought about tonight.
Let me go ahead and say I was SHOCKED that Allison went home. I really thought it was Kris and was terrified it might be Danny. Really didn’t think Allison was in trouble after her duet with Adam. Maybe he’s not really as big as people think and he’s still in the bottom. Ryan was clear it was in random order this week.
The girls are doing well at home from what I can tell. I’m getting anxious to see them and hope they aren’t missing me too bad(ly?) much. I guess I shoud call it a night. It’s late and I need to get up early and we’ll find out what Thursday is made of.
