Coffee and nerves

I'm drinking coffee because I love it, but I'm a bit anxious about my trip today. Haven't been on a plane in a while, and now they are showing what was happening behind the scenes at the Hudson River landing of a disabled plane. Hopefully the birds will be gone for my flight.

I'm super excited about seeing my friend again. I hope think we'll have fun catching up and doing some fun stuff.

I might now blog for a while when I'm gone. I'm gonna miss my fellas at home and my laptop.
And in a funny way, I'm gonna miss being able to sit around in my pjs drinking coffee. However, I think my friend B will be accommodating if I request that as an activity.

I'm gonna bring my camera, but I need to buy batteries for it. Okay, bye!

Whew

Okay, so my intensity of last week and this weekend has abated, to some extent.
But MAN.

The secret seems to be travel, food, beer, sleep, coffee, exercise, sex, and... TV.

Remind me...

The next time I'm in Manhattan, I need to get to Brick Lane Curry House. That was a lovely dinner. If only I could remember the name of the Ethiopian place where we ate...

Plans!

I'd mentioned feeling the need to plan recently, and things are looking good on that front. I have regular writing group meetings, and bf and I had a talk last night about what we could plan together, so we've got movies and other fun stuff that we are going to do on a more regular basis. We also talked about making more plans with my kids to do things that we'd all enjoy. I'm glad they like stuff like museums and art and naturey stuff.

This week I'm busy doing non-glamourous family and school things, but it's nice to have a week full of fairly pleasant stuff to tackle. Plus I've got good bf time and a coffee date and maybe the Eplegaarden with my friend T.

One thing I really want to do is go down to the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago.
The following are the free days for the rest of the year:

• October 10, 16, 17, 23, 24, 30 and 31
• November 6, 7, 13, 14, 20, 21 and 23
• December 24

Christmas Eve at the museum, awesome!!!
