back to the grind

We're back from a week off and trying to get back into the swing of things.  I must admit that I feel very relaxed today...  I also realized that during vacation I somehow trained myself to eat almost constantly, so now I'm hungry almost constantly.  On the kitten front, we now call him Daniel and Danny and constantly use the correct pronoun when we refer to him.  It seems so much more real now that we know he's a boy, and I get the fun task of beginning to register for all the little (and not so little) gadgets and items that we'll need for him.  I can't believe that we're halfway done waiting for him...  blows my mind!

Vacation was terrific...  It was eventful and uneventful all at once.  We went on a big hike while the golfers golfed, and my niece Ally swung on an actual vine.  I tried, but ended up just lifting my feet for a second...  not quite Tarzan here.  We rented a boat and got Ally to touch a fish -- as evidenced in the pics.  We also ate.  I read about three pages in my book, which just shows you that we were just too busy playing Clue and swimming and napping to do anything productive.  :)
