little adventures

Last week was a 3 day weekend for the state of Alaska (Seward's Day) and I was sick. This week, I'm better this week unfortunately, my office building had a diesel leak and we haven't been able to work all week. Which is kind of nice. I was able to get a lot done.

Saturday I went for a nice little hike with Nena, Laura and Laura's husband Scott out Outer Point down to the beach with the dogs. It was a blast and we got a TON of pretty fun photos.


Sunday I went for a walk with Aspen out Sandy Beach with my friend Nena.


When I got home my bridesmaids dress came in and it was HUGE! more then a dress size too big! And it wasn't that I've lost that much weight (although, though would have been nice) it was that the bridal shoppe who took my measurements for me measured me incorrectly. And when I told the shoppe I ordered the dress through what dress size I wore they went with my measurements instead of the dress size I wore. Argh! SO STRESSFUL! The first place I took it to for alterations said absolutely not, I had to take it back for an exchange. Luckily I was able to find someone to fix it, which would include cutting the dress all up to make it small enough. *crossing fingers* that everything works out. My mother took a few pitiful pictures of me in the dress when i first got it on Sunday before we dropped it off at the alteration place.


Monday after I took the dress to the alteration shop I went swimming with Laura and Rhianna. It was a lot of fun and we even tried out Laura's underwater camera. I hope she can find the cord for the pictures.


Today we went for a walk with Laura Rhianna and our dogs after I ran by my office really quick to grab some paperwork and forward a few things home so I would be able to work from home. It's pretty nice being able to work from home but it is INCREDIBLY inconvenient! I do not yet know when I'll be able to go back to the office. But if it's anything like the "Spam Cam" it'll smell of diesel 5 years later.


Tomorrow I'm going to be meeting a coworker for coffee to work on travel arrangements for staff on an up coming board meeting. But it's also nice because I'll be able to get all sorts of other errands done as well.
