So we're slowly recooping from the jet lag. Wait - is that how you'd spell "recooping"? Should it be "recuping", what with "recuperating" not being spelled "recooperating"?
Uh ...
As you can see, not quite over the jet lag. Life over the last two days has been slightly surreal, really. I'm about 90% sure last night I told Liz, "I'm too tired to sleep."
She replied, "I think I am, too."
But hey, at least we're in this together.
Although today is Liz's first day back teaching. Ouch. I expect her home at any point this afternoon with a zombified look in her eye telling me she's too tired to sleep.
Anyway, I'm writing on a Sunday, which is weird, but it's important. As nice as it is to be back in Dubai with out suitcases put away and our -- oh, who am I kidding? The suitcases, and everything else, are strewn about like a sand tornado ripped through the apartment. But it's nice to have our own space where we can throw everything about, and where we can sit around in our PJs at one in the afternoon because to us it feels like five in the morning.
But I am bummed today that we're not back in the States for this one weekend.
Yesterday our family friends threw a Chinese New Year party. They catered the wedding, actually, for those of you who were there and were psyched about the food - you can imagine what kinds of delicacies we missed out on.
Then today it's my little cousin's ninth birthday party, which would have been a hoot. Again, to tie it all into the wedding, she was the littlest of the Flower Power.
And then, at 4:30 pm EST, the New England Patriots are playing the San Diego Chargers. That should be a pretty amazing game, the Pats are great in the playoffs, but the Chargers have league MVP LaDainian Tomlinson, who's like a one-person touchdown generating machine.
Sadly there's nothing wedding-related about the NFL, although I probably should have invited quarterback Tom Brady because wouldn't that be cool if he was around Waterford, Maine on August 5, 2006 and had nothing to do and was like, "Sure!"
Anyway ... the game'll probably be on live here but what's that, at 1:30 am? Not likely I'll be up in twelve hours.
Lastly, the other big thing we're missing this weekend is the season premiere of 24 tonight. I love that Jack Bauer. Luckily over the holiday we purchased both season four and five dvds. Over the past two jet-lagged days we've already watched the first eight hours of season four.
Oh well. I'm sure somehow the world will have a crisis that only Jack Bauer can avert. But if anything drastic or crazy happens, please don't tell Liz or myself. We'll grab the season six dvds in about twelve months.
Okay. I'm not quite too tired to sleep right now, so I might go attempt a nap. Wish me luck. |
