He's Really Fast

Not to much is happening. Today we power washed the shady side of the house...again. I have been pleading for weeks, and it finally happen. Wezul has work for at least another week, but his project manager is hoping to hear about an extension. We will have to see how that pans out.

Below is my sneak attack of senor. He was trying out his new headphones he bought with his allowance he saved. Haha!!!

The following shot was Wezul dancing around as he was trying to hide behind me...hahaha!!! I still got your ear!

Is that Flash Gordon? NO...just Wezul moving super fast...Just kidding...sorta...he was not being a cooperative photography subject.

It has been quiet

Not much to report on our end. We are doing well. Trying to keep the momentum up while Jason gets all the OT he can possibly get while we wait to hear what is going to be his next project.

Just Amazing!!

This weekend we went to Carolina Beach to visit with some dear friends Wezul has known for a long time. While we were there, their son called up to the house and told us that a nest of sea turtles were about to hatch. Off to the beach a group of us went. By the time we reached the beach, only one turtle had emerged and had already made his way to the ocean.

The other hatchlings decided that they wanted to take their time. After being nice and snug in their little warm egg that was buried under the sand, who can blame them for wanting to take their time to get into the cold, dark ocean.

However, there is plenty of food waiting for them.

There was a volunteer group there from the Pleasure Island Sea Turtle Project to ensure everything went smoothly for the babies' transition from the egg to the sea.

After a couple of hours, after watching just four heads poking out of the sand and doing much of nothing, chaos erupted.

All of a sudden the turtles were bubbling up from the sand and making their way to the the ocean.

Watch the little ones take their first plunge into the sea!

I couldn't imagine a better post to turn the dashboard post number to 100. It's moments like these that remind me why I do what I do is important to me!

Pepper Fairy...this ONE is for you!!

Ok...Poppa P...I mean "Pepper Fairy"...take a look at the peppers in all their glory. I have been on my best behavior...they are thriving despite the uckiness that is the pepper. The green ones aren't ripe yet...maybe...Wezul and I definitely learning on a curve. I used to have a garden at our G-boro house, but that was well before we headed to the Philippines. It has been awhile since I have grown anything for consumption. We had three tomatoes come off...but they had their own issues. Apparently, we watered and fed them too much. The tomatoes split. However, Wezul was "brave" enough to sample one of them and was in heaven. ;) Everything is growing pretty well...well...the radishes bombed a terrible death. The spinach...we are still waiting to see how that turns out...however, the planter box may not be the best, or like the radishes...they don't have enough room to grow. We do not know for sure the deal. Oh well...that is the fun of this little experiment. As you can see, the green onions, scallions or whatever you call them, are doing extremely well. :)

The OT experiment is going well. I guess. It is interesting not getting home until after 5:30 - 6pm. How many more months of this? Maybe 2 or so...but I will take this over the alternative. Wouldn't you?!?

I am getting well acquainted with Starbucks, Panera Bread, and the like. I am still trying to find my perfect locale. It isn't easy. However, the Starbucks by my office is off to a good start. Some of the "hanger outers" are nice. I don't know if they are regulars. I guess I will find out. Today I jetted to Panera. I was HUNGRY, we have a huge inspection coming up tomorrow to get our lab certified by the State, and everyone needed some sort of help with their data; therefore, I got no lunch. I couldn't wait for Wezul to get off of work. :) Hmmm...maybe I can get a promotion soon. I am starting to feel like the monkey working for bananas. Then again, I have always felt that way. It fits my moto "I am nothing more than a trained monkey."

Heehee!!!

An amazing thing is about to happen...this little blog entry in number 99. OMG! I should say that #99 is what is showing on my Dashboard. Who would have thunk that a little experiment to post pictures from our Anniversary trip last year to San Franscisco while we were there would still be going strong...sorta strong...haha. We really do this for our little familia. It gives me an outlet to say what I want to say and get a word in edge wise...As all know...Wezul is the center of the universe and he is the all knowing master in that universe and he speaks for us all. Heehee!! Love ya honey..mean it...Just kidding...kinda. ;)

Well, I am going to finally sign off. Who knows how long it will take me to come up with post #100. It should be a grand one...or at least funny...we will see...it will probably be neither of the above...but regardless...it will be from us...the C-ton peeps.....

I am now "THAT" person

A picture speaks for itself!

I have joined the club..."I have nothing better to do than to sit in Starbucks". Hahaha! It is not something I relish in. In fact, I am a little embrassed...haha...not really.

I do have a really good excuse. Actually...several really good excuses. Trust me!

• Neither Wezul nor I can find a good excuse to drive to work separately. We used to work 10-15 minutes apart from each other...now the distance is 5-10 minutes apart.
• To "save" Wezul's weekends, if he can work two extra hours a night, he won't have to go in on Saturday. I really like that idea!
• Yes, I could stay at my office and "work", but I already give them enough of my "free" time. In plain speak, I work 40+ hours a week and don't charge them for the extra hours.
• Plus, at work, I really can't surf the web as I wish...BIG BROTHER is watching me.
• To go to any place like Panera Bread, Mc Donald's, etc, it will cost me more than the $1.55 I spent on my "Grande" Awake Blackened Tea. I tried Panera Bread last week, and bought $10 in food. Not good...for my wallet...nor my cholesterol.
• Mostly, I hate coffee, they don't have a huge selection of food, it is really close to my job...and I can get to Wezul's "TDY" location quickly.

Here I am. Sitting in Starbucks, waiting for 4:45 pm to roll around so I can drive to Wezul's Executive Condo in the sky.
