Already the 11th and I haven't put any thoughts down here! Wow, time flies.
After our trip to Hawaii, we got back to a routine around here, working, eating, watching A-MER-ican idol, sleeping, working, eating, watching A-MER-ican idol...well you get the picture. We are all caught up (thank you TIVO) and are going to run into the snag of having to wait a whole week before getting another hit.
Good news is that boring Ben, (the bachelor on this season's The Bachelor) is almost done choosing his pretend fiance' so they can be pretend engaged for three months before breaking up. And the new season of The Bachelorette will start :) The "bachelor blogs" have torn this season up because Ben is SUCH a dweeb...pretty funny stuff to read. That's pretty much the only reason I still watch this mind-numbing dribble. Gotta know what happens on the show in order to get the jokes on the blogs.
I'm also reading a new Anne Rice novel (of Interview With a Vampire fame) about a werewolf...I know...another werewolf story. But this is pretty good. It's called The Wolf Gift. I'm enjoying the unsettled weather because then I don't feel too guilty just hanging out reading and watching tv. I have worked a lot of overtime lately too because it's been busy at work and less staff right now.
Jasper is traveling for work these last two weeks...Japan, Taiwan, and India. He called me this morning from India and it sounded like he was next door...amazing! Polina is in the thick of it at school like usual. We went for a walk yesterday by the river to give her a break from the books.
Chelsie is tearing it up at work, giving presentations, teaching the new software that the whole hospital is switching over to in the next few months, and working tons of overtime. She's loving the new responsibilities but is tired. Michael is also making inroads at his new job. He's had to navigate some pretty tricky politics already in his small office. Why is there ALWAYS politics at work? I guess because we are all just people. Michael has been asked for advice by his boss and others since he's "the only neutral person" in the office! That's a fine line to stay on but so far he's managing it.
Kevin is in the middle of a couple of weeks where visitors from Italy and Singapor will be here. Lots of meetings and showing these people around Boise, eating dinners with them, etc. So busy time for him too.
Well, I''m done for now...got a post in...yes!

Ok you might not believe me, but all of that sounds so fun and exciting! I know our jobs come with all the stress, too, but ya'll have some interesting work you do!
Good luck with all the busy-busy!
I agree with Amy--your common life is very interesting! Maybe I'm just nosy and like having a legitimate reason to know about other people's lives and details. :p
