Whining for the coolness

Heatwave

The weather has taken a turn for the…better? After having all that rainy, cold weather during what is supposed to be spring, all of a sudden we’ve had a heatwave. Yesterday was so hot and humid that walking outside felt like walking into a sauna. I am so glad that I work in an air conditioned building.

Plane tickets and hotels are booked for our trip to Thailand. I cannot believe we are actually doing this!

I can’t wait to see you again *

My dad has been staying with me the last two weeks. It’s nice having another person around instead of just me, so that I don’t fall into the habit of talking to myself. Not that I would…um, anyway. lol Jordan and I finally had a voice chat on webcam this afternoon, which was great. We talked for almost two hours then I had to go make some food because I was starving. It’s much nicer using the webcam instead of the telephone because then I can actually see the expressions on his face.

We are slowly getting our vacation planned out. Thailand, it is! I’ve got my immunizations up-to-date, and I forked over $65 for a painful Hepatitis A shot. That one hurt a lot. I really dislike needles. The other two — MMR and tetanus — the nurse stuck in my left arm. That night I came down with a fever, headache, and wooziness. When I woke up in the morning, I was as good as new.

So now I’m trying to figure out cheap places to get plane tickets and reserve hotels. I can’t wait, I’m so excited!

The deliciousness of a book

Well, I have made it through the first week of Jordan’s absence. The apartment has been very quiet without him around. We talk on the phone as often as we can. He’s pretty busy across the ocean blue. I miss him like crazy. Another six months of this…

I am on a book frenzy. The Chocolate Lovers’ Club and The Chocolate Lovers’ Diet were GREAT books. And then I read The Kite Runner (Khaled Hosseini) in two days — one of the most amazing works of fiction I have read in a long time. Go read it if you haven’t already!

Sigh.

Surprize party and other stories

We had a surprize birthday party for my mom last Sunday. Everyone convened at my aunt and uncle’s in the guise that we were celebrating their twentieth anniversary. After everyone was there and had eaten a bit, and after Jordan and I showed up after I finished work, my aunt got up and started fiddling with the celebration banner that she had written “Happy Anniversary” on. We all watched as she flipped it over and the sign read “Happy Birthday”. My mom said, “But who’s birthday is it?” when she saw the sign and of course that made everyone laugh. It took her a second, but then it dawned on her that we’d tricked her.

Jordan’s parents arrived for a visit Tuesday early afternoon while I was at work. They came up from New Brunswick because Jordan is leaving on deployment very soon and he didn’t have time to drive down there. It was a nice visit and on Wednesday night I invited my mom, Mike, Krystal and her boyfriend, and my dad over to meet them. Our parents had never met and I figured after over two years plus the engagement, they probably should get to know each other a little bit! There was a lot of talking/discussing/debating/chatting so I think things went well.

Of course everyone keeps asking when the wedding is. No idea, yet!

In the past couple days I have read Forever In Blue: The Fourth Summer of the Sisterhood (Ann Brashares), Shoe Addicts Anonymous (Beth Harbison), and now I’m on The Chocolate Lovers’ Club (Carole Matthews). All books excellent so far!

After Jordan leaves, we will see each other in July for vacation. We are going to Thailand.
