May and July R-T Trips

[chessie_reeves]

Wow, what a week. I thought things would be less stressful when I got back from my 4th of July mini break, but I'm just as busy as ever. *sigh* Still, that's good for the firm and for me in the long run

Hey Reevsie! I've missed you in chat and seeing you on LJ and I'm glad you're back to writing.

What great trips! I love your pictures. The reading rocks are so cool and I love the scene from what little I can see of it. Bees?! *runs fast and far away* That's a freaky, but awesome pic.

The moon and heart pics are lovely and so artistic. You three look happy and enjoying the trip.

I hope you have time this week to join the latest GH chat. We've missed your input and the show is juicy hot.

*glomps* So happy to see you posting. :D

*tackle glomps JT* I've missed you too and all of the regular GH chatters (even AVA, but don't tell her that :P). I will definitely be there for this Friday's chat and possibly for the one on Sunday. I haven't watched any of the shows this week, but will be catching up on Thursday. I'm working weird hours and that's why I'm up so late (or early, depending on how you look at it...it's almost 4am here).

I'm glad you enjoyed seeing the pictures. When my mom saw the bee pic, she had the same reaction as you. She's allergic to bee stings and tries to avoid being near bees. I am working on being more artistic when I take pics. I enjoy taking candid ones like the first two, as well.

Weird hours? Does that mean you haven't gone to sleep yet?! It's almost 8 in the morning here and I just got to the office. Are you working from home? Do you have to go in today?

*high fives your mom* I didn't mention it in my previous comment, but yeah, I'm allergic too. The last time I got stung, it hurt so bad and it caused my entire arm to swell.

[chessie_reeves]

Yes, I was working from home and I will be going to bed in a few minutes. I have to go to a work-related early dinner meeting this afternoon and that's it for the day. I'm glad I didn't have to work from the office because that means I can now just sleep.

I hope you have a good day at work, JT. G'night.

Yay, you're back! Like JT said earlier, we missed you. ♥ and hugs

Awesome vakay pics! :) Looks like someone had fun on vacation. You deserve it, hon. How did you take the moon pic? My outdoor night pics never seem to come out right.

*hugs back*

Thanks. It was taken with a basic point and shoot camera (a Canon Powershot) with the flash turned off. It is also at full zoom. It's a pretty basic camera, but I love it. I also have another Canon Powershot which is also quite good. It doesn't have the zoom power of this one though.

*hugs* Don't let the stress get to you, Reevsie. You know you can always call me to hang out and vent about our jobs.

I know it sounds weird but mayo on corn is so good. I had the same reaction as you when I saw my cousin putting it on his corn but then he sprinkled it with black pepper and hot sauce. It was yummy.

You should frame the heart or moon pic. I agree with JT about their artistic quality and they'd look good hanging on a wall. Art for your foyer?

[chessie_reeves]

*hugs back* Awesome! I would suggest kite flying at Central Park, but there is suppose to be a heat wave this weekend. :/ Ash wants us to hang out at Starbucks to cool off during the chat this afternoon. I will text you later to see if you want a ride.

Gah... No, thank you. I seriously have to talk myself into eating mayo-based salads. I can handle it if there isn't that much mayo used.

That's a great idea, and I think the moon print would look great there. Thanks for the suggestion.

Nice pics! :) Which camera did you use for the moon pic? It really came out well and captured a lot of cloud detail.

I missed the fireworks this year because my sisters insisted on watching the Spiderman movie. I liked it but I would have preferred the fireworks.

I am with ya. Mayo is nasty. My sisters like mayo and tomato sandwiches. *pukes*

For Friday's chat, maybe you, me, and Mat can bring our laptops to Starbucks or something. There is a heat wave hitting the area again. Ugh.

[chessie_reeves]

Thanks! Canon Powershot (the larger one that's pink).

I think this Spiderman film is the best of the franchise, but then again, I never particularly liked Tobey McGuire or Kirsten Dunst in those roles.

Above, Mat talked about her cousin putting mayo, pepper, and hot sauce on corn. *dry heaves* I don't care what others eat or like to eat, but I know I wouldn't be able to eat that without being sick.

Yes, I'd love that. I can drive. I will text you guys later about times and such.
