San Diego or Bust

Bust. Well, I was supposed to go to San Diego on Saturday. First to go to the Natural History Museum, which is having an exhibit of the Dead Sea Scrolls. The biggest public viewing of them ever. And also to have dinner with my brother. Well then plans got changed to just driving down for dinner. The exhibit will be there through December, so we have time for that, but my brother is shipping off to Guam in a month for a year, so there isn't too much time to see him before he goes. I actually got to sleep in on Saturday which was nice. I was going to run errands and decided to just do one or two that were really close to home, as I thought I'd be driving a lot in a few hours. To make a long story short, we didn't go. Ben had to work and thought he'd be home by about 3 or 4 (plenty of time to drive down to San Diego, have a nice dinner and chill and then drive back). But, he didn't get home until after 8pm. So there went that one. All in all the weekend was nice, much better than last weekend. Next weekend might not be so great (Vet appointment for Grr on Saturday morning, which means a carsick kitty Yay! And taking my Mom car shopping on Sunday, ugh).

As for the latest & greatest novel I finished..."Sick Puppy" by Carl Hiaasen. It was a very entertaining novel. I really enjoyed it. I had a lot of fun reading it and had trouble tearing myself from it. I'm still waiting for a book from the library, so in the meantime I'm reading "Krakatoa: The Day The World Exploded August 27, 1883" by Simon Winchester. So far, I'm having a little trouble getting into it. It's hard to go from a wildly funny, sarcastic, yet very witty fiction to a non-fiction about a volcanic eruption. It's good so far (I'm only 20 pages into it), I just have to get used to the writing and it being a non-fiction, which may take a few more pages.

Off the grindstone they call work! Or should I say Back to it, as I've been here an hour already...
