Ick. The cold is still clinging. Seems to be going in this fun cycle: bad cough, sore throat, congestion, congestion/bad cough/sore throat--all together now! :P *weezesnifflemoan*

Anyways. We're leaving (again), to go to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, where my dad gets his required annual medical training. The rest of us just tag along and spend the day shopping around town, getting lost, and generally having fun. :) Although, usually, we have to also do our state testing there (required by the state until you're 16), this is the first year none of us have to, since Eric's turned 16 now. (The state doesn't care if you're over 16 and stupid. *g* Not that passing those tests really proved you're all that smart...) This time our goal is to shop until we find living room furniture. *groan* Amazing how many different tastes in furniture five people in the same family can have. LOL. Our living room has been doubling as a storage room for too long, though, so I hope we find something. What I'm REALLY looking forward to about this trip, is that the hotel we traditionally stay at has the SciFi channel... *bg*

The tree studio is really coming along! Eric's been taking lots of pictures, too, so I'll have post some on here when I get back. I've been up there several times, now, and it is going to be awesome. Of course, I'm really having to work on getting rid of any lingering fear of heights! The tree is located on the side of the hill, so one one side it's not too far down, but on the other side it's nearly 20 feet straight down, and just keeps on sloping all the way down to the stream below. Yup. I'm working on my previously undiscovered acrophobia... Once the boys get the railing up, I think I'll be able to enjoy the view with a little less vertigo. ;)

Ta for now!

P.S. Thank God FF.net seems to be up and running again! Hopefully, updates for The Weight of Power should be more reliable now (but I won''t be posting until after I get back from Mayo, in a little less than a week). For those of you who still haven't recieved the alert: chapter 11 is up. ;)

Furniture shopping! A jointly feared and beloved activity. Even with just me, myself and I, agreeing on a single style is difficult. Sometimes it's mostly a vague hope that all the pieces chosen will jive in the house together. ;) Have fun!

SciFi channel! One of my guilty secrets when I am in possession of a TV.

Yeah, I think I'd have fun furniture shopping--if it weren't for the fact that the rest of the family insists on being so realistic. I have a bit of an eccentric reputation. :)

Every time I get my hands on an Star Trek (be it Voyager, ToS, or any of the other series) I get hopelessly addicted all over again. :P

BTW, thanks for reciprocating the friend-ing. After "seeing" you so often on Polly's journal, I was beginning to feel like I knew you, and was going to comment on your journal myself...but I'm hopelessly distractable. So, anyways, good to meet you. ;)

Well eccentricity is how you find the 'fun' stuff. *grins*

I'm currently watching the Voyager series with my roomie. I never knew she was a Trekkie. Learn something everyday, I guess.

Good to meet you as well! Thanks for the initial friending. :D
