  • I had a nice trip to Tanque Verde Ranch in Tucson with the girls. I swam, fed the fish and relaxed. http://t.co/dGy4Xh2 #
  • It has been a very busy Monday. Tonight we get to go grocery shopping and stock the freezer with dinners again. $$$ #
  • It took less than one day back at work to erase three weeks of rest and relaxation. I literally feel beaten and defeated. #
  • Strawberries! Yay! http://t.co/LPJR9Pd #
  • Happy Valentine’s Day! #
  • Happy 100th Birthday, Arizona! #
  • I got a response from the parish in Szymbark, Poland about Andrew Dominik’s birth. They couldn’t find it, but referred me to another church. #
  • I ate four cookies today. #oops #
  • It would be great if my library allowed me to delete or “return” eBooks I finish with early. #
  • I stand corrected. I CAN return an eBook before the due date. Thanks @stampsgal! #
  • Student tours tonight in our data center. We’re having 50 Cisco networking students come through. Help meh! #
  • The tours went very well last night. The instructor sent the most incredible note of gratitude to our CIO. It’s wonderful to be recognized! #
  • I bowled a new personal best in Wii Sports – 233! Then I promptly sucked again and lost all my Pro points. Figures! #
  • My credit card was compromised last night and Wells Fargo caught it within HOURS and cancelled the account. WTG WF! #

  • Home sweet home! I loved our vacation, but I love our own space too. #
  • Here is a video walkthrough of our suite at the Wilderness Lodge: http://t.co/yGov6j7 #
  • Eleven days of vacation in Florida and I gained 0.4 pounds. I'm so proud of myself! #
  • Oh Flickr… how I hate thee more often than not. #
  • All the pics from our Florida trip are now up on Flickr – http://t.co/7QxuxOv #
  • Urgent care… Contact dermatitis… I think my Pooh bear hug did me in. #
  • I'm really tired of being tired. And itchy. And tired. Did I mention itchy? #
  • I got an email response to a letter I wrote to The Roman Catholic Parish of Dydnì, Poland. They sent me details about the Golkowski family! #
  • So far my itchy neck has cost me $100 and 3 sick days at work. I've had enough fun. I'm done now. #
  • We just got our brand new matching DROID4 smart phones. There's nothing like getting new toys on the day of release! http://t.co/3FARYMR #
  • Pastor Adam in Dydnì wrote back and sent scans of Andrew's great-grandmother's baptism record and her parents' marriage record! #
  • Pastor Adam in Dydnì wrote back and sent scans of Andrew's great-grandmother's baptism record and her father's birth record! #

  • I woke up this morning still in shock at our room at Disney's Wilderness Lodge. It's breathtaking! It's so nice to have two bathrooms, too. #
  • It's almost time for me to crawl through a window and go 180 mph as a NASCAR passenger…. *eeeek!* #
  • The ride-along was incredible! I had so much fun! My driver Derek got up to about 140 mph. Three laps went by really fast at that speed. #
  • We had a fun & adventurous day at the Magic Kingdom! #
  • Parasailing was cancelled due to high winds, so we took the SeaSpray boats out. Andrew's wasn't working right, so he couldn't go fast. :( #
  • We just met The Mad Hatter at 1900 Park Fare! http://t.co/XfrY5oN #
  • I'm either having a severe allergic reaction to our room's HVAC dust, or I have strep throat. :( #
  • Remember that bit in our vows about "in sickness and in health?" This is the "sickness" part. #
  • Spending the day at EPCOT. Our Segway tour was really fun! Rode Mission Space (Orange side)… and didn't throw up. Mission accomplished! #
  • It would figure that I specifically ask for a ring shot during our anniversary portraits today, and woke up with a rash on my left hand. :( #
  • Our portrait session went very well this morning! #
  • Still not feeling well with a headcold, allergies and constant nausea. We're braving the boats & monorail to the Polynesian anyway. #
  • I met Pooh, Tigger and Eeyore at Animal Kingdom! #
  • The gates of Steak Heaven just opened wide and let me in to bask in garlic butter filet mignon glory @ The Yachtsman Steakhouse. For reals. #
  • No parasailing for us this trip. It's just too windy. Maybe next time! #
  • We had a magical time on our 10th Anniversary trip to Orlando! Highlights were Hogsmeade, my NASCAR ride along and our Segway Tour @ EPCOT. #

  • I am in full blown vacation mode. Work? What do you mean I have 3 more meetings today? *ppfftthhh* #
  • Freeeeeeeeeedom! #
  • Had a consult for Invisalign this morning. Rough estimate is 11-15 months, $5-$6k total, insurance covers $2k. Something to think about. #
  • Went shopping for certain necessities. Comfort can be very expensive! #
  • We're kickin' it old school on the couch watching Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, soakin' up the atmosphere in Hogsmeade. #
  • My friend in Poland has been trying to research the Dominik family without luck. If she can't find anything, I'll really be lost! #

  • We're first in line to get into Universal Studios early entry! The Wizarding World of Harry Potter awaits. #

  • Hello from Hogwarts Castle! http://t.co/m4eLfri #
  • We spent about 4 hours in WWoHP and about 90 minutes in the rest of the park. Feet… hurt… from standing & walking… owww… #
  • Spending the day at Universal Studios. The Mummy ride was AWESOME! Andrew's on Rip Ride Rocket now. I hope he likes it! #spinnyflippyfun #
  • Bartender @ Hog's Head: "There's a line. It starts all the way back there —–>. But once you get up here, I'll be happy to take your $$$." #

  • Stopped into Ace Hardware for a spot cleaner, and they had exactly the one we wanted. Cashier gave us $20 in discounts & coupons. Woohoo! #
  • Breakfast on MLK Day with the folks @ US Egg. Pretty yummy! It was nice to hang out and chat for a while. #

  • Six people showed up for my presentation. Yay! #
  • I don't like it when people schedule meetings through my lunch hour. #
  • I'm pretty sure my brain has left for vacation without me. #
  • Just finished my final weight training class. I didn't lose any weight, but I lost about 3% body fat during the 16 weeks. That's something! #
  • Someone actually joined my East Valley Genealogy Club! Woot! #
  • TGIF! #
  • Watching the live Barrett-Jackson collector car auction from Scottsdale. It's so much better on TV than in person. #
  • From the woman in Michigan whose memories I salvaged & returned: "Thank you. There should be more people like you in the world." #
  • …and then my Genealogy Club member bailed on me. Sometimes I wonder if my constant efforts are worth it! #
