Another long weekend coming up.

I am using up my remaining vacation days so this weekend will be a 4 day one for me. Unlike my prior extended weekends, this one will be spent at home. I hope to get a lot of stuff done around the house, but get it all done Saturday so I can have the rest of the time to do “fun” stuff. Ali is flying up to PA for those 4 days for her Pop Pop’s 90th surprise bday party so it will just be me and mom.

I am flying up to PA in the beginning of August (again!) to play in the Ball Hog volleyball tournament. Since the Rumble was a washout, I was itchin to get to play at least 1 of my old tourneys up north. I have been putting off getting the airfare tickets, waiting for a good deal. Yesterday I got a fare watcher alert that was decent so I jumped on it. I went through US Airways and almost completed the booking process when their site screwed up. I was pickin seats but then it timed out and I wasn’t able to get in. Argh! So I closed down IE and reloaded the site and started over. This time the fare wasnt available for that day, the flight was now booked! Damn it! So I went back to Travelocity and booked it with United. A few bucks more but not bad. Crisis averted. Well I got home last night, fired up my email and see my trip confirmation from Travelocity AND US airways!! Evidently I was far enough into the US Air booking that I DID have a seat on the plane. Not only did I have 2 separate tickets to fly to Harrisburg, they were for different seats on the SAME planes! Evidently the flight on Travelocity was actually the same US Airways flight even though it was listed as a United flight! (because of their merger) Confused? Well the good news was I was able to cancel the one flight because I discovered the issue within 24 hours. What a mess.

While I was on the leg machine at the gym the other day I had an odd thought. Not sure why I was thinking about this except perhaps because one of her songs was on. You know how it is cool today to have a slang nick name using letters of your name to come up with somethin “hip”. Ya know like J-LO, P Diddy all that dumb stuff. I came up with one for Cristina Aguliera. C-RAG? Good? Hehe.

Had another Pygmy rattle snake on the property. Wild kingdom has nothing on us.

The webcam is back online. I hadn’t been running it much lately. No particular reason. Lazy I guess. Watch the most boring stuff on the web here!
