Back in NYC…for another 10 hours or so.
We had a nice overnight in CT. Hit the mall today so Meg could look for some more shirts. She finally got a job. Will be doing work from home for a web travel company. She doesn’t start for a few more weeks but it will be a paying job! She is quite excited to say the least. We also had b-day cupcakes to celebrate her b-day again at my parents and she got a few more pairs of socks as well as Sherlock Homes on DVD.
Tomorrow morning we start on our “Epic Road Trip” where we will be driving from NYC to visit her family in KY and TN. The plan is to do it over two days (its about a 13 hour trip). Basically we plan to drive till we get sick of it tomorrow, ideally get at least half way and find a place to stop for the night, then finish up Sunday.
Going to visit her Grandparents first and then go on to TN to spend a few days with her Dad. We have a few activities tentatively planned, maybe including a trip to Graceland!!! I also plan to get some “WORLD FAMOUS” TN BBQ.
Well a bit more last minute packing and then watching a bit more Jonathan Creek before bed for an early start tomorrow! Laptops will be coming with us so ideally we can update from the road/where ever we end up staying.

This past weekend Chelsea and Bret came down for belated/early birthday dinner and a movie with Meg and I. We saw Kick Ass which totally rocked. I had been waiting forever to see it (ever since I saw the red band trailer on line) and it totally lived up to my expectations. I was a little disappointed in how they changed a few plot points from the Graphic Novel (mostly the Hit Girl/Big Daddy plot stuff) but still was an awesome movie. After we got some dinner at CA Pizza Kitchen which was good.
Nothing too exciting going on this week. Doing Quality Assurance stuff at work and at home we are working on planning out Epic NYC to KY/TN road trip. Looks like we will be leaving next Saturday and probably breaking the drive up into 2 days each way. Have to see how we feel. Its about 14 hours give or take so yeah..epic drive but still better then the 800$ flying into Nashville would of cost us.
Meg’s B-day is next Monday, she is excited to get Ice Cream and maybe cake as well!

So I wish it was an April fools joke but today they told us we are no longer aloud to listen to music while working. I guess the rule is mostly intended for the cops on patrol which I totally get…personally I would prefer the people keeping me safe from crime and terror not to be overly distracted listening to the latest Lady Gaga track or something. But for those of us in the lab who some times have to sit at our desks doing paperwork and case audits for seven hours straight a little music helps pass the time and just makes the lab a better place to be.
I wonder if they really think its going to help improve the quality of our work or morale because…yeah not so much.
