This Just In...

It appears that Tropical Storm Walter is beginning to make its way towards the East Coast - New Jersey to be exact. Local residents are being advised to prepare themselves as what is now merely a tropical storm could, in fact, escalate into Hurricane Walter. More news from the site as it develops.

That's right, we're leaving for New Jersey today! Well, really tomorrow, but our flight is ridiculously early in the morning so I thought it best to get a hotel for tonight right outside the airport. Now I'm questioning that decision as I did not account for the fact that we're not bringing our pack-n-plays with us this time around so we won't definitely have beds the boys will sleep in tonight. It could be a VERY long night. I'm just saying.

All this is to say that I will try to post a blog every once in a while during our trip, but they will probably be few and far between. Not that I've been stellar at keeping up with the blogging lately, but that's because of moving, and not having internet in our house until this past Tuesday, and trying to catch up on other things. And now the laptop won't read my camera so all of my pictures are stuck on there until I get to NJ and can get them off and onto my memory stick, which means all of my pictures from August won't be on Flickr until we get back in September. Hopefully by then all of our stuff will be here too and I can just use my regular computer and it will be fabulous.

As for what we've been doing here since landing in Oklahoma, well, really we've just been hanging out. We found a great video rental store, and have been trying to catch up a little on some of the movies we've missed over the last five years. Any suggestions for when we return? And we've been making almost daily trips to WalMart (stinkin' WalMart and its convenience). Now, we're just packing up and getting ready to go. Oh, we've also been playing a bunch of pinochle, but I keep losing, so I don't think we're going to be playing that any more. And that's really all. (Can you tell I'm procrastinating?)

I need to finish packing, but the boys are napping, and the rest of their clothes are in their rooms so I really can't finish packing until they get up. So really, I'm just taking care of other things until I can get to the things I need to get to to finish what I'm supposed to be doing. What's what? No, that's not Zeke in his room talking to himself because he's actually awake and ready to get up. Why would you think that? I'm not sitting here blogging trying to put off getting him up and getting things done like I probably (okay really) should be. Sigh. I guess this means it's really time to go and get this show on the road, both figuratively and literally.

Until we meet again, have a fabulous weekend! And if you're in the NJ area and want to get together, leave a comment, and we'll do our best to work it out. Tchuess! (That's German for "bye", it's kind of pronounced like "juice" but with a "tc" instead of a "j".) Oh, I did put up most of my pictures from July on Flickr if you want to check them out. Have a good one!
