Travel just makes things wacky...
Aug. 11th, 2011 03:44 pmWell, my business trip went really well. Lots accomplished and I have lots to do paperwork wise due to action items but nothing too hideous or hard. Just one issue that I should have caught and didn't that is annoying me but that is more from a "I know better than that" versus "hey this is wrong" kind of thing. I also failed on my quest to bring home boiled peanuts for mel. He luvs the darn things and I tried 3 places, including a farmer's market that ended up being closed. Oh, well.
Got home last night and I was very happy to see the Kemp men and little Benton was really, really happy to see me. Mel had texted me that he was noticing I was gone yesterday morning and wasn't eating very well. I figure another day of me being gone and he would not have been a happy camper. I really didn't get too emotional until I was holding him. The smell of my baby boy got me and that made me feel really bad for leaving him. Weird but true. Mel and I enjoyed a quiet evening at home and I fed the boy and put him to bed. He is so cute when you give him his blanket. He grabs it and flings it on his head and then pulls it down to play peak a boo. Such a cutie.
So odd things I noted while in Alabama. I'm gonna list it since its so weird in places.
1) Every 3 channels is a religious channel on cable for the first 30 channels and then is 15 sports channels...weird.
2) I ate at a restaurant that had Pabst Blue Ribbon on TAP!
3) You can throw anything and hit a church around there...yup, its the bible belt.
4) I saw a gal at a crossroads soliciting cars in hot pants and a bikini top...it was a high way..we were running at 65mph...not very efficient.
5) Food is fried in most places and I can get mac and cheese when ever I want.
I managed to finish two knitting projects while on travel. I finished mel's mitts which he is in love with. He had them on last night and was hugging his hands to his chest like a mental patient. I finished his dad's cowl, take II. I then worked on my shawl and got to the 3rd chart and borked it up. Not sure how to fix it but I think some looking into ravelry and chatting with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
scribe_ari will be helpful.
Got back to work today and lots of crazy is happening. I have a lot of paperwork to do and not a lot of motivation to do it. But I must get it done. I don't want to work tomorrow and its due monday and I hit my 40 hours just after lunch and tomorrow is our day off and well..I'm tired and my brain hurts. Oh, well. Its wacky.
