From Food to Weather

*Apples w/ caramel dip!  I convinced myself to grocery shop a little healthier than normal and get some fruits and veggies and fruit/veggie juice.  To help balance out the good healthy idea, I got caramel apple dip which is quite yummy.  The advantage of getting it, since it isn't exactly healthy, is that it has already lead to me eating 2 apples today which is 2 more fruits today than normal!

 

*Respect.  I have apparently gained enough respect from my bosses to lead to me being taken along on a business trip for a meeting with a guy whose boss' boss is the head of NASA...This guy is so far above me that it is probably quite unusual for him to be in a meeting with someone as new as myself.  They are taking me along because I know the most about some of the things they want to discuss...

 

*Cleaning kick.  I got on a cleaning kick and completely organized and vacuumed and wiped down (where appropriate) everything in the main room, dining area, and kitchen.  I started out only attempting to do something small but knowing I needed to do more, and ended up feeling motivated to do it all.  Always a good thing to have a clean place.

 

*I went to the Virginia Air and Space Center today for free since I am a NASA contractor and it is "NASA Days" at the center.  It was cool to wander around and look at what they had and realize at times that I knew more about some of the things than they had written down, but most of it I didn't know.  Most of all it was good to get out of the apartment and just drive somewhere with the windows down when the weather is so good....

 

*Great weather.  Today the high was probably in the low 70s and slightly breezy, making it comfortably cool in the shade and warm in the sunlight.  Perfect day to get out and drive with the windows/sunroof open!  I love days like this.
