Planning to plan

I had a good day at work today.  I'm learning a new, specific process that we're further defining for our organization, and today I got to actually use it to create a new layout for a project.  It was pretty satisfying!

We are really looking forward to this next week.  I know they say that you're never supposed to announce that you'll be on vacation, but since this blog is secure and I trust all of you ... well, most of you know we're doing Ragbrai next week.  We're also headed to Minneapolis for the weekend right beforehand, to see our friends from when we lived up there.  It's been two years since we've seen them and I'm really excited!  It's intimidating because we haven't taken a vacation with the girls yet, and I just never like dealing with them when they're tired and off schedule.  But it'll be worth it. we're going to have a great time!

This week has been spent getting ready: doing laundry, sorting stuff to pack for the weekend vs. Ragbrai, buying last minute supplies, and making last-minute plans.  I have it all planned out to be flawless and smooth, so be sure to check for my next blog posting which will document how that all went wrong. :)

I've also confirmed that the girls will be going to a new daycare starting Aug 16.  I'm thinking they'll like it better, but there are pros and cons of course.  We'll see how it goes... although, it's kind of unnerving thinking that if it turns out we don't like it, we would have a hard time going back.  I always like a safety net, but, oh well.

Audrey is getting more words.  Her favorite is "All gone!" but I've heard a lot of others that I'm suspicious of and she won't repeat.  And I convinced her to go potty again a couple of times, so that's nice that she's no longer too creeped out to do that.
