New, short week
I've got a four day week this week (yay!) followed by a 4 day weekend that will be filled with Dragon Con! Unless I get sick first. (Two of my coworkers just came down with cold/flu-like things over the weekend) I need to go stock up on some Wellness Formula (bleh!) and Airborne so that I won't get sick before, during, or after dragon con. That would suck. Big time.
In other news, My grandparents surprised us with a visit yesterday afternoon. We went and ate brunch at the Grit (I was really wanting their normal menu, but brunch was all they had unfortunately.) We then headed over the "the Varsity" (world-renowned drive in joint with the WORST FOOD EVER!) because they had a car show out in their parking lot. Papa really enjoyed getting to see all the old cars, and tried to engage me and
phearidmond in discussions of engine types, flow rates, and other things that we both had absolutely no clue about. =) It was fun, though. Most of the cars were very pretty. Papa also gave me a book for my belated birthday present, it's called The China Study, and it looks like it could be an interesting read. It's about nutrition. I told them my three choices of grad school, and they are rooting for the Nutrition program (obviously.) We'll see, in time.
We also went to Whole Foods this weekend with Cad-n-Ash. (Jason and Ashley) That was loads of fun! And the figs that are on sale there are SOOO good! Especially if you drizzle them with some balsamic vinegar and top them with the super amazing sheeps milk cheese that we got as a splurge. Tasty food, good times.
So hopefully this week at work will be far more relaxing than last week. We've already started out on the right foot by not having to get here at 4 am on Monday.
