I guess the main thing this week has been planing this vacation. I can be honest here, while I am looking forward to it I am also kind of bummed. Originally Dad was supposed to go with mom and I to Bham for the wedding but first we were going to go to the beach early and then come back. Somewhere along the way those plans got scratched and we started a new plan. A trip to Niagara Falls with a little fall foliage tour through New England. Well, me being me, I over planned and before I knew it came up with a 2 week trip with only 10 days and almost twice the budget. So needless to say we are scaling back a bit. 5 days in Niagara and a little leaf looking coming and going. I am still really looking forward to it but deep down I really wanted to go to the beach. I wanted to see Jordan in your new home and spend time at the ocean taking in the memories it brings from growing up. Overall it would have been fun to take that trip with Dad as opposed to just Mom and I again. Still, I am looking forward to this. The falls look amazing and I have learned over the years that nothing is more incredible then having the senses overloaded by Gods creations. I am going to really enjoy this I am just stressed in the mean time. See we have a strange way of planing trips in this house. Dad spouts off things that sound really cool but are way above our current means, Mom gets excited and counts on this and I as the only one with the combined know how and time on my hands get stuck with making it happen. I spent a total of 10 hours sitting in front of the computer the other night planning our big fancy trip only to have Dad end up saying it was too much and Mom getting upset that he took back what he said we could do. After two days of arguing about what to do we have come to a happy compromise but still things are not totally planed. I have officially scratched Travel Agent off my "possible career choices" list. I am so sick of this. One hotel charges for parking but offers free breakfast and internet, another has free parking but no view of the falls (very pricey by the way). We finally agreed on 4 nights at a nice but reasonable hotel and 1 at a really nice place with an incredible view.
Perhaps this one.
Well, what ever happens we will have a great time if everyone can just relax and enjoy it. I need to get myself in the school frame of mind but right now my view is a little distract by the view above.
Hopefully next time I have some thing to write I will be near my computer. I need to get some sleep so I can try to get some work in my room done tomorrow. It is a lot better then it was but soon we will be painting at my curtains have to come down. When then do my room will be exposed to the whole neighborhood. Can't have them thinking I'm a great big slob even if I am. I actually vacuumed the part of the floor that is clear the other day and I just stood there staring at it, it just looked so good. Now if I can just figure out what to do with all the stuff I put on the other half of the room to clear that half I will be in good shape.
Later gators
