I finally got my internet and phone lines hooked up in the apartment--whoo hoo! My quality of life has shot up by 97% since I no longer have to trudge to the library everyday and clamor for a computer. Now I can work out of the comfort of my home. This week's tasks will include getting my home office together and ordering office furniture. Fun fun!!
So, what have we been up to? Last week I drove to Wales for a business trip. Although it was very windy, dreary, and rainy, Wales was very pretty. The hills were lush and green and there were cute little sheep everywhere. We also went down by the coast one day and it was so pretty watching the water crash up against the rocks. Anyway, the drive up was about 3 hours. I have come quite a long way with my driving. A couple of weeks ago I would have never driven farther than the grocery store or the gym, but now I'm driving to different countries. Now that's what I call progress!
This past weekend I had a team meeting in London. There are only seven of us in the UK, so this was a nice way for us all time meet face to face. We went to a medieval banquet. Basically we were down in a dungeon and the performers were dressed in medieval clothes and there was lots of loud medieval music and entertainment. I had gone to a medieval banquet in Germany last year, so I knew what to expect. We had a pretty good time, but I think two medieval banquets in one lifetime are more than enough for me!! Here are some pictures:
I went to the store on Saturday and discovered some more interesting potato chip flavors:
I need to start bringing my camera to the grocery store so that I can take pictures of the bags. I'm going to bring a few home for folks to try during the holidays!!
Speaking of the holidays, I was so bummed not be home for Thanksgiving this year. I spent the entire day thinking about what I would be doing if I was at home and wandering what my family was up to. Thankfully, I spoked to my family several times on Thanksgiving, so I felt like I was in the loop. My sister Camille also took pity on me and fulfilled my request of detailing what each person was doing in the house so that I could have a mental picture of what everyone was doing at home. Although I was sad that I wasn't at home, I took comfort in knowing that I would be home for Christmas. Yay!

Who knew that medieval people pole danced? :-) Looks like you all had a nice time.
I bought some gourmet chips just because of you. They are Szechuan Barbecue rice crisps. I haven't tried them yet though.
I don't know about some of those chip flavors.... maybe the yogurt and garlic or even the spare ribs( uncle vince would enjoy those), but the others sound gross...
