Elizabeth & Brendan

Oh Earl, please don’t ruin my plans.  Brendan is expected to fly home tomorrow and land around 6:30.  Earl is expected to arrive late afternoon, with the center passing over Massachusetts between 10:00 pm and 3:00 am.   With its current course, Boston will have winds of 35 miles per hour.  If it moves a bit out to sea, we may not see any real winds. 

What does this mean for Brendan?  I don’t really know at this point.  Since he is flying through Iceland, he is more north and wouldn’t fly into the hurricane but I doubt you can land with those winds.

Here is the view from Brendan’s hotel.

I swear, it is either feast of famine witho our lives.

After a few weeks of just tending to the house, we have blasted off into the stratosphere. 

• This past weekend we flew to NYC Thursday night and then had a whirlwind two days in NYC.  Friday we started in Park Slope, eating bagels with Emily and goddaughter Lily (who was all smiles and giggles when we there and we thank her for the great disposition) then went to the Upper East side to hang with Billy for a bit, then down to Grand Central for some happy hour delights, followed by a trip to Citi Field (Mets won) and the night ended hanging with Jason and Selena at Muldoon’s.   Saturday we got up, went to nephew AJ’s christening and left around 3:00 for Boston. 
• Brendan then caught a flight to the UK that night (I went home).  So now I am hanging with the pupster alone this week and Brendan returns Friday night. 
• Then dinner with UK friends and the Meklers. 
• Saturday we go to the first BC game of the season, then head back to Logan and take another flight to NYC – for Lily’s baptism on Sunday.  Then we head home Monday. 
• That Thursday, Brendan leaves for Las Vegas and I leave on Friday.  We will be going to his friend’s wedding there.  Then we come back on Monday morning (love the red eye!). 
• We have a two week travel break and then I am back to Switzerland for a week. 
• And there are two more potential work trips for me before Christmas (Frankfurt and another Swiss trip).

I need a nap just thinking about all this.

Hungry Mother > awesome.

…cancer free – many to go.

Going to dinner at Hungry Mother.

More Eli fun.

Well we headed to Taconic State Park for some fun with Mother Nature. Chris, Kim, Charlie, Kristin, Jack and Lulu also went (Kim organized it all so thanks!).

Eli had some issues but overall was great, especially sleeping. We thought he might be up all night. Here are a bunch of pictures of Eli camping. I swear I was there too.

Hanging out…

Sleeping in the tent…

In the tent looking for Brendan…

What I like to call “Snout and trees”…

Everything is fine, got my new, annual prescription for tamoxifen. She doesn’t want to see me for 5 months so I am not a priority case which at an oncology office is a good thing.

So my new company was just acquired. So I have now been purchased twice in the last 5 months. Awesome.

So I had an appointment with my plastic surgeon and we are going into the last phase of the reconstruction.  So all limits are off.  Meaning I am free to work out.  So my excuse of “I can’t wear a sports bra yet” are gone.  Gone. Gone. Gone.

I went for what may be my first run in a year and started with the method I used when I first started running (the EJB method which I guess is not the EJbC method).  I walked a minute and then ran a minute for a total moving time of about 25 minutes.  Let’s just say it was not my finest performance.  But I did it and I am patting myself on the back for that one.
