The lost post.

So, here is the post I could not post while in Henderson, due to computer hicups and whatnot. Enjoy!

Wow! Vacation is half over already. It's been unbelievably humid and hot, which I hear is extremely unusual for the area. However, that has not stopped me from having a great time! I should start at the beginning. Wednesday after work, I zipped over to Susies' house to catch a few hours of sleep before heading to the airport. Susie lives with her sister, Deb, and they own two little Yorkies- Elvis and Harley. They are very friendly puppies, and they loved that I was there. Harley was thrilled to have a launching pad laying on the couch. He spent 2 hours jumping off me and onto the coffee table. Elvis tried to sleep on me, but kept sliding off. He somehow came to the conclusion that if he licked me enough I would suddenly become skid proof. So, I tried to sleep, Harley tried continually to launch himself into space, and Elvis tried to morph me into a skid proof sleeping buddy. A very restful 2 hours indeed.

After such a restful nap, I arose and spent about an hour chatting with Susie and her sister before being whisked away to the airport. All went smoothly there, and I even managed to grab a few cat naps on the first leg of the flight, as well as an hour on the floor of the Newark airport. However, I had been up since 3am, so when I arrived in Syracuse, New York at 9:30 am on Thursday, I was pretty beat. Of course, I hit the ground running. Errands, unpacking, gift swapping and craft brainstorming ensued, so I didn't get to bed that night until almost midnight. Up at 7 the next day for a full day of vet visits, shopping, more shopping (all for the craft fair Diana was selling product at on Saturday) and lots of crafting. As a matter of fact, we went to bed at 2am on Saturday because we were busy packing up the car and making a few cool last minute craft ideas that I had come up with. Got up at 7:40am, showered and went to set up the booth and put out the jewlry. The fair was from 10 to 4pm, so it was a full and busy day. Met some great people, had lots of fun and had hot dogs for lunch! Seriously! It was a wiener Saturday for me, and that means it can't get any better!

Breaking down the booth took 2 hours, and we were both wiped out by then. Pizza was on the list for dinner, but we couldn't find anyone who would deliver to the middle of nowhere, so we zipped down to the local Italian resturant, where I had the best spaghetti ever! It had 2 big sausages on top, and really- sausages are just another form of wiener, so now I am thinking Henderson is 'Heaven' spelled incorrectly. I may never leave!

So, I am sitting at the dinning room table, making my post to catch all ya all up on my vacation while Diana updates her finances. Soon we will be drinking a few refreshing beverages and watching a few episodes of 'Trueblood'. Then we will collapse into piles of goo and sleep, sleep, sleep! I know I will be dreaming of jewlry, sweltering heat, and heavenly wieners.

Ah, summertime vacation!
