5.28.12

I can say that today was much calmer of a day.  After packing everyone up and breakfast this morning I went with a co-worker to take some travelers back to Philadelphia.  I am going to be good at this whole train system thing by the time I leave here.  It takes a while to get there and back because of waiting on the times for the return train so it took up a big chunk of the day but it was a nice change in pace to sit for a little while.  Of course by the time we got back to the house and chilled for a very short time we were all bored and ready to be up moving again.  So we decided it was time I go to the beach.  We played soccer and attempted to build a sand castle.  Until creepy looking bugs started to appear the further we dug for our castle.  Dang bugs had to ruin our fun.  But it was nice to sit out there and just enjoy the view and the weather.  One of the girls I work with is from Scotland and she is always laughing at me when I get cold in the van or when we are out in the shade.  Apparently I am a wimp when it comes to cold weather.  Give me hot and I will be good, although I am thinking this humidity is going to kick me in the butt.  This evening was pretty relaxed and tomorrow will be as well.  I am glad that I can hopefully get some sleep tonight.  I thought I was tired enough last night to not take my Ambien but of course I was wrong so I am going off very little sleep and a crazy busy weekend.  Tomorrow should be pretty relaxed as well.  I don't think we are getting into the deep clean and down to business until Wed. 

Funny of the day was at the train station in Philadelphia.  Last night we were having a conversation about how different Americans are from the British in the sense that we seem to talk to random people a lot more than they do.  The co-worker from England was stating that she hates getting on a train or plane and being stuck next to that person that wants to talk your ear off while she just wants to sleep.  So this guy at the train station starts talking to her about her accent and where she is from.  It seemed to him that he knew everything about England and wanted to tell her it all.  He really had no clue what he was talking about and I just happen to need to leave at that exact time to go find a restroom leaving her stranded in conversation with this guy.  He would not shut up.  You know those annoying people and she gets it a lot and of course me being the American that will talk to most people just left her stranded.  We then had to hide from him when we loaded the train since he was on the same one.  Note to all of you out there who think you are experts on other countries and try to talk to people from them, you probably won't win the "I know more that you do" contest, so don't try.  It is funny to me but annoying for them. 

I talked to Lisa and got an update on Matoska tonight.  She is getting along with out me.  That is great for her but I hope she doesn't forget me by the time I get back home.  I miss her so much and LOVE the daily photo updates I get.  Thank you again Lisa!  You rock!

Fingers crossed for Mom tomorrow.  It is big election day.  She is running for County Attorney for Carson County!  Good luck Ma!  Love you!
