The Musings of the Absolutely Fabulous Ms. N.

Mr. K and I have been in AK for almost a week now and the weather has finally started to cooperate. For the past few days the weather has been overcast, drizzly and nippy. Not that I have minded I actually like that type of weather. I guess it compliments my often grumpy mood. I have been relaxing and catching up on some reading. So far I have read "Little Eartquakes"and I am almost done with "Guy Not Taken" both by Jennifer Weiner. I have done a bit of knitting and some sightseeing. Tomorrow I am actually going fishing at Seward. Lookout AK! Puertorican with a fishing pole! Hopefully I'll stay in the boat, not toss my cookies and have a good story for this blog. Till then.

Is it a sign of sickness when you look at coats online and you are trying to decide which color to get based on what color scarf you are knitting? HeHe. :)

Well kind of. Cleaning my desk drawer out today I found a receipt for my last eye doctor appt. It was for $200. I faxed it over to FSAFEDS so that I could get my medical reimbursement. If you have access to a health savings account I highly recommend it. I take out $40 per payperiod to put into the plan and I always make sure that I use it all up by the end of the year. Makes working for the feds that much sweeter.

We are experiencing quite the heatwave here in the Philly metro area. Luckily I have been sick for the past two days so I have stayed home inside with the A/C cranked. I can't wait till Mr. K and I head off to AK at the end of the month. 65 degree weather never seemed so good.

Yesterday afternoon I saw the new Transformers movie with Mr. K, Mr. K's cousin, Ms. CWV, and Mole. It was AWESOME! I had my doubts but they were blasted away by the first 5 minutes of the movie. I actually shivered when I heard Optimus Prime's voice. This morning I read on Wikipedia that there are going to be two more sequels. I emailed this info to my movie going crew and I got the following back from Mole...

hiya marthatron
transform and knit a sweater.

Freaking hilarious!

I am Marthatron!

Thanks Mole.

I hauled Mr. K's grandmother's electric breadmaker out of the basement today. I tried to bake a loaf of bread and thought everything was going ok until I opened the breadmaker at the end of the bake cycle. Intead of a nice loaf of bread I saw instead a hard brick of bread. I dont know what I did wrong. I threw it out and went out to the store and got more supplies. I am not giving up!
