I’m back….for now and other random bits
Ahhhh, once again I have a hockey team to play on. At least for the remainder of this season which will be about 9 more games including playoffs, I will be on the ice every Thursday night. I am very happy about that to say the least.
Now if I can get rid of this sore throat funk, on again off again small fever, overall feeling of exhaustion, that would be great. It’s not strep but the doc gave me an antibiotic anyway just to nip anything in the bud as he put it. I thought it might be from all the yard work I did Sunday, but it got worse and lingers annoyingly.
One week from tonight I will be at the house of blues watching Ben Folds playing his piano in person. Ummm, I think we still need a babysitter. Any takers? The sister in law moved away today so our normal go to person is now gone. Only 100 miles away, but a bit far to go for a simple night out.
Really looking forward to our big road trip in 2 weeks. Gonna meet my niece, gonna meet some of my Internet friends, and I’m pretty sure I’ll get a round of golf in with the father in law. More than anything, I desperately need the separation from my work for a week. Desperately.
I will be at BlogHer this year too. All I need is my airline ticket, and final approval for my time off and that will be that. I don’t have a pass to the conference, but I’m not really going for that. I’m going to meet some friends in real life, have a great time partying with said friends, and hanging out in my favorite city on Earth. After the show I’ll hang around for a few days and visit my family and old friends on the Island as well as take in a Mets game. So if you’re going, make sure we find each other. If you read my blog, I want to meet you.
Last weekend we went to the festival of chocolate, this weekend we’re going to the strawberry festival. My favorite fruit, yum.
Cool. Talk soon.

Chocolate and strawberries… I love food festivals!
I’m jealous of your NYC trip, alas, I can’t attend this year. Maybe next time.

I did a lot of weeding last weekend and haven’t felt the same since. Sore throat, runny nose. General yuckery. Yes, I blame the weeds. Those gits. And yay, today is the day my family flies in from England to stay with us. That will be a nice welcome for them – here have my cold & sore throat.

We don’t really have food festivals. We used to have one called the Tomato Fete which was awesome since I love all things tomato. Unfortunately the guy who ran it was stealing all of the grant money to live on or something like that. The Straberry festival sounds fantastic!
