First off: Our anniversary was a success! After Jordan and Amanda left we actually spent the afternoon working. By dinner time the bathroom was DONE! Jordan can testify to the fact that I was perpetually distracted by this project all weekend, so it was nice to call it quits. Dinner at 126 (mom and dad, you remember this place, right?) was fantastic. Mom and dad, thank you for the extravagant bottle of wine you sponsored. It was fantastic!
The gears of travel are starting to turn...slowly and steadily. I received an email today that our summer tenants are in town, so we're meeting with them next week. I have been digging around online to find all sorts of things to do while we are in Israel, as well as shoring up last minute travel details like a rental car and such. We have plans to deep-clean the house next week, which will take the pressure off of the weekend. Somebody moved August 20 to Monday, which I swore was on Tuesday, so we now have one day fewer to wait! The grammar of that last sentence hurts my brain but I'm pretty sure it's sound.
Other random details:
I ran 6 miles on Monday. It was awful. It was also as far as I've ever run, so at least I could be proud of my pain.
I only have 1.396 weeks of work left! Forever! For REAL forever!
Naomi has been falling asleep at 9:00 for the last couple of days. This has left me to watch Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure at night. "Bill, strange things are afoot at the Circle K."

Wow 6 miles!! I am impressed (-: On top of that, only 1.???? weeks left of work (now that it's Thurs)! I have a feeling the only thing you will truly miss is the paycheck.
I can't wait to see all you've done with your house. But we'll have to wait until you get back from Israel. You've welcome for the the bottle of wine (really?)

Oh yes, really - well, probably the wine and one of our meals, or most of it. You got us half-way through the check. :)
I LOVE 126...I remember our dinner there well...right by the open windows.
6 miles---woh. That's about my longest run, although I think I ran 7 minutes once (usually at close to an 8 minute pace). After that, i kind of thought...what's the point. You've gotten your benefit after the first 3 miles... But it can be addictive (the runner's high). I'm with you in spirit!
