Finally a normal day :)

So today was a nothin'-much sorta day. Got up for an early morning of work (8:00 versus the normal 9) . . . found out that when the car, that i'm so grateful that i have to borrow, says E it REALLY means it. . . Sarah mentioned that it's run out of gas before and i SWEAR that when i turned it off last night it had about an eighth of a tank of gas . . . but when i woke up today and started down the hill on my way to work, it was definitely sitting right on empty. . . and of course i left with just enough time to make it straight to work, not to stop off at any gas station. . . i parked right next to the exit in the parking lot and said some prayers as i went into work, hoping that there would be enough left that i could make it to a station. . . rest assured as i chatted with Miss Monica (who's about to be holding her first born) on the phone, i made it to the gas station and got a very full tank of gas. . . whew! won't do that again!

Sarah and i took a really long snorkel/swim when I got home from work. . . we swam all the way out to 'the point' which is the edge of the island right next to us. . . I was able to use the prescription mask that Sarah picked up from Jen Jen when she was in STL . . thanks!! You know, its funny. . . sometimes i get myself so darned worked up when i'm in the water. . . its like you're swimming along and you are looking around and all of the sudden the thought of a large Carrie-eating fish pops in your head . . . so i'd have to sweep around in a circle monitoring the surface all around me. . . then as soon as I'd face forward again, Sarah would be miles, seemingly, ahead of me. . . so then i'd book it up to her til i was swimming next to her like a little baby Nemo. . . following her momma. . . anyway, we saw lots of little schools of fishes. . . and one very colorful Parrot Fish. . . wow such a beautiful creature. . . but no turtles. . .so that means i'll have to brave the underwater world again . . . seeing a huge sea turtle is one of my goals to do down here!!

Now it's 9:45 and Sarah and are multitasking, including watching the shocking news about Mikey Jackson and the way less focused on death of Farah Fawcett. . . wow, so crazy . . . and for the first time in, oh about 2 weeks ;) i'm going to bed early!! To be as fair as can be, the A/C in my bedroom is broken so that I can be in solidarity with the sweet residents of Dartmouth house :( Luckily I think they're out of the woods and I'm hoping they send a southern wind of luck down here so we figure out how to make mine work too!! I suppose it gives us true perspective of those people in places as hot as us who cant even afford to have air conditioning. . . we are blessed to have a roof over our heads for sure!!

Sorry for the lack of pics today. . I told you it was a nothing-much sorta day!! Sweet Dreams!!
