RTT- travel, exercise, and British dramas

It's Tuesday so I'll keep it random. Like I ever do anything else.


JR and I are heading to Washington DC next month for a week. He is all excited and even had the nerve to say, "what will I do in DC for a week?" WTH? The man hasn't been to DC in 14 years. I'd have thought that the Smithsonian would have changed up the displays by now. This will be an interesting trip though. I'm the planner in our family. I plan our trips, plan what we will see, plan we will will do, I buy the tickets, book the hotels, you name it. JR just goes along for the ride. This trip is totally different. We are not both on vacation. I'll be working for 8am to 5pm. He is on his own. So while I booked his flight and our hotel, I haven't even pulled out a guide book for him. We'll see how this goes.


Speaking of travel I will have been home for 2 months straight. I think this is the longest stretch of at home time since I took this job. Of course, it has to be the hottest 2 months on record. Why couldn't I book a trip to Canada? Or Sweden? Anyplace north of hell Houston?

The unpacking has been moving along slow but steady. I figure I'll be done about the same time as we decide to move.

I've decided that if and when I ever start exercising again I will not have to work on my arms, much. Nessa and her fetch obsession keeps my arms in good shape. I spend all night throwing her toy down the hall.

Gretchen has got me and JR hooked on British dramas from Netflix. First it was Sherlock (I can not wait for the fall season to come out). Then it was The Last Enemy (same leading actor as in Sherlock. Yes, I do have a bit of a crush on Benedict. I can call him that, it's only creepy if I actually start showing up at tapings). Then Gretchen mentioned another show but we just couldn't get into it. So we came up with one on our own. It's called MI-5. It's based on the British version of the FBI. I learned something new. MI-5 = FBI; MI-6 = CIA. This series has 10 years worth of episodes. That ought to last JR and I until all the new shows start.

I've got to head to work now. The students are back and if I don't get to the school by 7:30 I won't get a parking spot. Go visit all the other random tuesday bloggers at Stacy's place.

Love,
