musings

i am tired.  not the tired where i am not sleeping.  i have the tired that comes from the inside out.  i feel it in my muscles (though that is also from a ridiculously hard workout yesterday), i feel it in my energy level, and i feel it in my brain.  the last few weeks have been incredibly packed but completely wonderful.

the biennial was here in t-town and it seems that practically every person that i know was in town.  this is clearly an exaggeration, however, it was fantastic to see so many people i know and so many people i love and even get quality time with them while running between the convention center at ts again and again. 

then my dad came to visit and we had a fantastic time, too.  we went to niagara falls and niagara-on-the-lake.   the power of nature is awesome and as long as i kept my back to the kitchy crap it was a lovely experience.  why i had not gone before is still somewhat mind boggling and i just need more visitors to come and visit to do it again (yes, i'm talking to YOU!).

in honor of the fact that the maternity leave that i have been covering for the past five months is almost over i got myself a kindle. it is being shipped to the DIVA and it is awaiting my arrival in ny for thanksgiving.  if you have any fabulous books that you would like to recommend i am always open to suggestions.  at present, i am reading this and i strongly recommend it.
