About the Weather

It really needs to decide what it wants to do. This constant change just gives me headaches. Today I stayed home from work because I woke up with one of thse sinus headaches where I was sure my left eye was going to just shoot right out of my skull. Not that I don't love staying home from work as we all know. I am really tired though. I got up at 9 because I think half my problem on Monday morning is sleeping too late on weekends. So I better sleep tonight!

I am really tired of the mood swings too. One minute I am fine and the next I want to cry. I don't get it. Sometimes I know what the problem is, others it's just there, for no reason at all. I wonder if other people feel like this too. I guess I should go deal with Brandon and his homework. Maybe that's why I want to jump off a cliff.

Cape May

So if you have a MAC and you want to put pictures in here, you have to save them to your desktop. Just an FYI.

The weekend of October 5 Rob and I went to Cape May for the weekend. This was to spend some time together after the 'incident' that happened over the summer that most of you who actually read this know about. It was a very nice weekend. The weather was amazing for October. When I was packing I took a bathing suit and said "I will take this because if I don't I will wish I had" fully expecting that I would not use it. I used it-I should have taken two.

We went down there on Friday night. Lisa stayed at home with my kids. Friday night we went and played skee-ball and then walked back to the b&b on the beach. It was a little chilly but we had hot chocolate so it was not too bad. Here is a picture of where we stayed. The room we stayed in had a cool shower with a whole bunch of shower heads. It faced the beach and I could hear the ocean at night.



Saturday we walked around the shopping area. It's a good time to go because everything is on clearance since they are closing up for the season. Around 4 we went back to the b&b and had afternoon refreshments, then we put on bathing suits and went and laid on the beach for almost two hours. It was 88 degrees in October! Crazy!

Sunday we went to the beach much earlier in the day. It was so beautiful out and I figured I definitely won't be going to the beach again until next summer at this point so we may as well hang out there all day. We walked for a while and saw dolphins. You can't so them so great but it's kind of hard to get a picture.







It's a really cool time of year to go because there are tons of migrating birds also. I have no idea what kind of birds these are but there went loads of them.














A dorky picture or Rob and I that we took ourselves.










There were also tons of people actually successfuly surfing. I have never seen that in New Jersey. I guess the water was a lot rougher than when we are usually at the beach. But it was New Jersey in October-not when you usually go to the beach.










This is just a cool picture I took. I had to make a whole bunch of attempts so it has to be on here.




We wound up hanging out at the beach basically all day on Sunday. Since it's not summer anymore, it never occured to me that we should have sunscreen. We were both a little burned. I was pretty tan this summer (for me anyway) so I wasn't too bad and it now I am ust tan. Rob's face peeled though.

Finally, it is also butterfly migration time. This I knew because it is a big deal at my school. The Kindergarten kids have a parade where they dress us and march around the building singing "gotta go to Mexico". I did not know that the butterflies make a stop in Cape May. There were loads of Monarchs everywhere. Rob was making fun of me for trying to take pictures of them. But I got some good ones and he admitted later that it was pretty cool.




Monday after we checked out we took another walk on the beach before we headed home. There were no boats in the water so there were even more dolphins than there were on Sunday, they were closer and playing a lot more, jumping up out of the water. Of course, I didn't haev my camera.

I think this post is long enough. I will try to be a little better about my updates!

Confusion

I am trying to learn how to put in pictures from iPhoto so I can update this from my weekend. For some reason it is not as easy as one would think it should be. All this "i" stuff is quite difficult if you ask me! So when I get it figured out, if I still feel like writing about it, I will!

Oops I did it again

Haha...I am not so good at keeping this updated. I had a ton of stuff I was thinking about that I needed to put in here but now I forget what it was. I had a really bad day. Don't want to talk about it though. I'll start with the most recent. Saturday I went to DC to go to the National Book Festival. I went to Becca's first and she and I and Sammi took the Metro in. We had a picnic lunch on the mall. The lunch was quite gross but the company was good. Becca took a picture of Sammi and I that is really cute...



Hmmm...this is showing up as code but when I preview the picture is there, so we'll see.

The book festival was not all that exciting but the weather was beautiful and as I said, the company was good. We went to the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History. The ride back on the Metro was pretty much a nightmare. It was packed. I thought there was no way more people could get on but at every stop, somehow more people squeezed in. It was crazy.

What else...off the top of my head I can't think of anything else, probably because I am completely engrossed in Prison Break right now. So, I guess I'll try again tomorrow.
