Misc.

Man, what a crazy week! Between my fabulous parents flying in on Tuesday, Atom working SUPER late this week, visiting my brother, sister-in-law and their new baby and celebrating King Kamehameha Day (yes I have to look it up to spell in every time) at work, I am spent, simply spent.

It's so great to have my parents here, though. I went to lunch with them the afternoon they flew in and it was just me and mom and dad. I was so excited thinking about all of the places I could take them, and where did they decide they wanted to go? Crown Burger. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm a Crown Burger fan. Those french fries, the special sauce they put on their burgers....I try not to think about how I usually end up feeling after I eat there. Still, I'm a fan. It was just a slightly anticlimactic moment for me to hear their decision after imagining all of the places we could have gone. I digress. As I watch my mom cooking up fabulous meals for my brother and sister-in-law and I listen to my dad showing Atom his latest Linux gadget (I'm sure it has an actual name), I'm reminded of how awesome my parents are and how fortunate I am.

Another highlight? King Kamehameha Day at work. My co-worker brought in dark chocolate Mounds bars, I played the Hawaii 5 0 theme song for every person who entered our workstation - a fabulous day. I am in love with those Dark Chocolate Mounds bars! Buy them! You won't regret it.
