So..Whats new with me.

Well first off. I've got the house to myself. Mom and Dad split and went off galavanting for a month. Down the East Coast, stopping at verious realatives, all the way to Florida and then back up again. They are currently in Florida. I spoke to mom today and she said it was a little windy but it was supposed to be 70 degrees tomorrow, so maybe she and dad would go in the heated pool.
I think she does these things just to make me jealous. It's frigid outside and windy.
They do have some help in their travels. They just bought a GPS. We had several "lessons" before they took off. I went over it with both of them. (And yet still, Dad somehow managed to convince the GPS that we were in Kansas. It's a satalite...why did it think we were in Kansas?) I woke up to see them off on Wednesday, and then went back to bed. 15 minutes later I get a call from them. I'm sort of assuming they forgot something and are coming back to pick it up. ...Nope. They can't program the GPS and haven't left the driveway. I hope they have it figured out by now. In honor of their travels, here is some road music. It also fits with the picutre I got of Dad visiting David and Jane. Apparently someone let him play with the motorcycles.


The house to myself has given me time to work on my Italy slide show. I want to burn the thing to a DVD so that it can be shown on a tv, but I don't have a DVD Burner. So, on Saturday I went over to Carol's house to use hers, only it didn't seem to work. Especially since I couldn't find any software for it. So, after 3 hours and change over there on Saturday, I gave up and called Steve.
He gave me a link to some DVD software I could try. And that's what I did today. I downloaded the DVD software, and converted my video file, but the thing still wouldn't burn. I think the drive must be broken.

My nephew Zach, to help me salvage my day, helped me set up a Facebook Account. That's right, I'm now on Facebook. It's been 6 hours or so and I have 21 friends. I also finally picked out a picture for my profile. This was in Italy. We were at this great Restaurant in Florence, and I didn't bring a pocketbook, and was wearing a skirt. Where else was I supposed to keep my room key?

I think that's all for now. Hope everyone is staying warm.

This is my view...chillin in the Waldorf.

I decided against room service. I had my soup and...don't get me wrong. It was nice. But I wasn't about to pay $26 for filet mignon that came with no sides. So, instead I went out for Thai...again. I went to the doctor on monday and the four of us. Erica, Drew, Mom and I went to a great thai restaurant. I had a red curry and drew had a yello with mango. We ended up mixing them. It was great!

The doctor visit itself went fine. My medications have been stepped down again and so far i'm doing fine. On the way up to boston, we stopped at my friend's Julies house and I got to play with Kaden. I think he likes me.

And now i'm sitting in the Waldorf. Marta had a ticket, through her company, to the Viennes Opera Ball. Hence, the Waltz playing. She is staying at the Waldorf and I decided to take a mini vacation. I'm sitting in the lobby with my cousin Kate, (who is here with her parents) and were just people watching the people in the gowns and tux and tails. I also had a half a bottle of wine in the room. It's a good thing i brought the wine with me...if I had tried to get this buzz off of room service it would have cost me $70 and a kidney.

I'm actually really sleepy so I'm going to add the picture and post this. Maybe I'll try being more coherent tomorrow.
