Work

I'm getting sick of this grant application work. I've done the same analysis 25 times in different ways. Here's to finishing soon!

I wonder if dance class will be canceled tonight (with the impending snow that's changed from 1-3" to 2-4" followed by freezing rain per WBZ).

I still can't believe I'll be going to another country finally. At least I'm doing it before turning 30 (I thought I'd never get there)!

An update on Katie

Our Star Wars friend's daughter has been continuing treatment for an inoperable brain tumor. If you've been following her progress in here, you can see an update from dad here: http://www.heartofanempire.com/Katie/about.shtml

We will be at Arisia on Saturday the 22nd from 10-5 and will have a table in the fan table/mezzanine area. Please stop by to visit, since we'll have lots of great goodies for raffle (all proceeds will go to Katie's treatment). There is info on the con and prizes we'll have here: http://www.501neg.com/ .

On a less sad note, I'll be wearing my Mara Jade (its been a while). One of my future costuming projects will be to make a different Mara Jade outfit, this one: http://pluto.spaceports.com/~lms/mj2c11.html

Whoot

Accommodations are booked for our trip. We'll be at this place in London http://www.hotellondon.co.uk/ for a few days (thanks to the Di's for the tip). Its not fancy, but is cheap, and will serve its purpose. In Scotland, since we won't be able to stay for too long we'll base our center of operations (heh) in Edinburgh. We'll be staying here http://www.turret.clara.net/ thanks to the tip from Righinnbear (a friend of a LJ friend) which was reported by many as the best B&B they've stayed at in the UK, and was recommended by Rick Steve. We'll check in on the night of our 6th anniversary (awwww) so hopefully we'll find something special to do for dinner that night nearby (the B&B is about a mile from the downtown area).

I think we've resolved the petsitter thing (Jen, we need to have you for/take you to dinner to chat about it). Next, we'll be figuring out getting from London to Edinburgh and then the fun stuff - planning activities with all of the books you nice people have leant/bought us! :)

Anyone know of a good goth, metal or new-wave club in London that's not uber-exclusive that we'll need to know someone cool to get into? We'll have the weekend there and I'm looking forward to checking out some of the night life. :)
