Memorial Day

Has been a long weekend since Memorial Day on Monday and most of the US has that day off. Tomorrow (despite the rain here), will be filled with cookouts and family outings. I always enjoy Memorial Day as kid, because I knew school would be out soon for summer.

I hope everyone has a safe and happy Memorial Day.

(via Wikipedia)”Memorial Day is a United States federal holiday observed on the last Monday of May (May 25 in 2009). Formerly known as Decoration Day, it commemorates U.S. men and women who died while in the military service. First enacted to honor Union soldiers of the American Civil War (it is celebrated near the day of reunification after the civil war), it was expanded after World War I to include American casualties of any war or military action.”

Weird Sleeping

Lately, for me I’ve been on a weird sleeping schedule. I’m either on GMT or PST time zone. Which if I were to fly to either to the West Coast or to London I would not have much jet lag at all, which is good I guess. I have always been a night owl anyhow, and feel more “alive & focused” at night. Plus lately I have been working on a couple of time sensitive projects, which I worked on a lot during the early morning hours. I have found working “3rd shift” helps when working on projects with tight deadlines, since during that time of the day it’s less distraction for me.

Another Adventure & How Time Flies By

This week is flying past. Sunday was Mother’s day and this was the 2nd year without my Mom. All holidays are hard to get through, but I’m finding that I focus on having fun on Holidays helps me get through the day. This Mother’s day was like no other Adventure Sunday for us. We stopped by my parents grave then went onward to have a fun filled evening in Charlotte. We went to a few places around Pineville and Charlotte and ended up in Uptown Charlotte at Trader Joe’s picking up a few things and then heading off to our new favorite French Bakery Amelies’s in NoDa for another late night snack. T had the Portabella Mushroom & leek Tartines and I had a buttered croissant. I also got one of their gourmet cherry sodas. The food and soda was excellent. Before that night I had never heard of Sprecher sodas, but after doing some research they are a local brewery in WI and they also make a wide selection of sodas and beers. Just wish they had a local retailer that sold their sodas in NC. Love to ditch “regular” sodas for those. A lot better than traditional sodas as well them not having any caffeine either.

All and all we had a great time and can’t wait till this Sunday’s adventure night.
