July 7, 2012: Weekend Coverage and Mass Effect

Saturday.  My weekend coverage weekend for the office is this weekend.  How many times can I say weekend in one sentence?  Three.  This is perfect timing since the family is not here so I can get my work out of the way while I am home alone rather than while they are here.

There was not all that much work to do today so I got plenty of time to relax and get some stuff down around the house.  Although I actually did very little of that.  What I actually did mostly was play Mass Effect.  Making good progress in the game.  Mass Effect 3 is really awesome.

I got to talk to Liesl via FaceTime today.  What a lifesaver that is.  With FaceTime Liesl will hold the iPhone and talk to me for hours.  She is so cute.  Sadly Luciana is not big enough yet to know what to do with the iPhone.  She can kind of tell that I am there but doesn’t know how to stay on camera and can’t talk to me.  Liesl knows to talk and hold the phone and show me stuff.  This is the best invention ever.

July 6, 2012: Happy Hour at La Cima

It’s Friday.

I’m far behind and putting in placeholders so that I can get somewhat caught up.

This evening Dan and I went to La Cima for happy hour.  We hung out there most of the evening.  He starts a week long vacation today so was not in a hurry to get home.  We enjoy the happy hour snacks which were so good that we didn’t need dinner.  Awesome spring rolls, great cheese, hummus too.

It was completely dead up at La Cima.  One of the slowest nights that I have seen.

I found out tonight that the family is staying New York for another week.  Rather than coming home next week they are coming home the week following.  I am very depressed.

July 5, 2012: Enchanted Forest

I was back in the office today.  It is Thursday but feels like a Monday after my mid-week two days at home.

Today the family all went to Enchanted Forest Water Safari in the Adirondacks.  I got to see some really cute videos that Diane took and put up on Facebook.  I miss the good stuff 🙁  Liesl and Luciana look like they had a lot of fun.  Dominica got way too much sun and her back is really badly burned.

After being at the park all day everyone went up to the mountains to stay at Diane’s house out of contact.  So I heard very little from them tonight since they are out of contact out there.
