Yes, MOM! tongue I've been reminded of your statement there a few times today and I've tried to stand or sit up a little straighter at times. So I guess it helped.

Don't have time to post more pictures that we took today (and we took a bunch), but I'll try to send you some tomorrow.

Btw... I might just go see Alpha Dog a third time. Anja bought some DVDs that she'd love to watch on Bosco (that I'm not interested in) and so I might just pop over to the Cineplex next door to watch AD again while she's busy with her DVDs. But that'll depend on whether we can time it right one of these days.

Re: Road Trippin'

Those are awesome!  The black and white one with the old lady is like something out of a photography book.  Great stuff!

Re: Road Trippin'

Thanks guys. It's good to be back, but I'm gonna be in London again on Thu and Fri. And then hopefully stay home for a few days. Although I will have to go back to the UK eventually. Might have to pop over there more often from now on, but I don't mind that much. It's only a one-hour flight and I love the UK.

Re: Road Trippin'

I myself will be taking off on Friday. I'm starting the road trip from Phoenix to Boston. It's a good 2700 miles or so, and we'll be making stops on the way. I've got no idea how long it will take us, although since we're visiting family in certain cities, I'm guessing it will take us a week or more. I'm not sure if I'm anticipating or dreading the long drive. Probably both.

Anyways, knowing me, I'll find a way to get on the Internet as much as possible. I'll go through serious withdrawals otherwise.

Re: Road Trippin'

You did go on a trip with your parents last year, didn't you? If the internship works out and you get them to keep you, you'll soon have money to take trips too, so don't worry.

Re: Road Trippin'

The trip last year does not count, like you said, it was with my parents, so it wasn't really a trip, it was family holiday which means it wasn't really a holiday because my parents were there too. I want to take REAL trips!!!

Re: Road Trippin'

Well, girls, here I go again. This time I'm off to Slough (near London) for tomorrow and Friday. Yep, another business trip for a kick-off meeting there. And hopefully that'll be the last business trip for a while. At least a week, I hope! I will eventually have to go back for some software training, but I hope I can stay home all of next week. At least we get Monday off since it's a bank holiday in Germany.

I highly doubt I'll have internet access tomorrow and on Friday, so I'll be back with you on Friday night when I get home. You won't miss me anyway, right? wink
