Time flies when you don't have much

This week at home has flown by! We've had snow and more snow...more expected tonight and tomorrow. It had just better be fine by 6:45 am sunday morning when my plane leaves for Chicago then Maui. Keep your collected fingers crossed. Actually look for cleared up weather enough Saturday night to get my sunday morning plane up here first! We're picky like that around here...it's hard for those early morning flights to leave on time if the late night flight didn't arrive the night before. Geesh.

Highlights of the week were getting tax documents off to the accountants...finding someone to remove ice and snow buid-up on the roof before it freezes and backs up..opps too late. gggrrr...yup, the hallway ceiling took a direct hit..again. Damn that corner of the house..maybe we ought to install an artificial sun to shine there. Orrr maybe one of these years we'll spend a nice day in August putting up some of those heater wires. Ya think?

In the meantime it's been the usual catch-up being home for a week except I have yet to get our suitcases unpacked, made more of a mess with stray packing materials from eBay purchases. Some of those peanuts are quite the kling-ons and won't even go in the bag much less get off my person. The cats are completely amok. They haven't helped contain the packing peanuts to one room either; if they aren't intentionally batting them around, a few are hitching a ride on their backside or tail from the static. (...and too think we were told our house was too moist at one time..Ha! we've dried this sucker out to a fault!)Actually Poor ~Elmo found one of the ant traps placed behind the couch by the ant man...yup he had his paw stuck to the goo on the inside of little carboard box and having some difficulty getting it off. No ants though.

So I still have a few new bills to pay...finally get my prescriptions picked up ( you know this was the week where those got screwed up by the pharmacy) get around to packing for Maui for me and New Haven for Greg. I also have to make sure my modem is working and find a short term dial-up ISP ...no I'm not doing 2 weeks cold turkey and really don't want to run around Maui with my laptop in hand looking for Hotspots although I have googled for locations and found some close-by the condo.

Of course I'll take photos and post a few entries. I can't wait to see the whales! I'll also find the coffee plantation that is rebuilding and hopefully get some green beans to carry or send home. will have to check into the agricultural rules first. Wouldn't want to be in the position of having my beans pulled from my suitcase at the airport. I'm sure my SIL will drag me off to a few jewelry stores and I'll drag her off to antique stores looking for vacuum brewers. A fun time will be had by all...my brother will read books, nap and cook fish and bask in the knowledge that Char and I will be out of his hair for a few hours. I may have to beg for a few more snorkeling trips but I can also go by myself if need be - I love listening to the whale songs while snorkeling too...absolutely awesome. Umm...and last but not least I HAVE GOT to replace my last visual from our 2001 trip with a new one....please let me get the memory of the perv with the t-shirt over his head, pants at his ankles trapping me out on the spit while "doing his thing" OUT of my head..some flowers would be nice.

Have a good weekend all...I may not post until Monday from Maui...but then again if I don't get out of here on schedule Sunday you may hear from me again...it won't be pretty. Ta Ta!
