Workin for the Man

Not much to report this week. It's my week to work at Ron's office (Rick and I switch off). I've been meeting with subcontractors after work about the house next door. I've had about seven meetings so far this week. We are still waiting for the final set of plans from the architect. I'm making a mental note to bug her tomorrow.

I started working at Ron's office early this summer. My duties include answering phones, logging orders, scheduling appraisals, etc. The work isn't too bad. Things are really busy this summer with the real estate market the way it is. Even though I'm the only gal, I think I'm doing okay fitting in. I just ignore them when the humor gets to be too much :-)

The one benefit of working for Ron is I can take super long lunch breaks. Today I took off for a few hours with my mom to get our brows done. We've made it into a little routine. We go every six weeks and I take her to a new lunch place each time. We went to Indian today - the first time she's had it. Last time she had Thai for the first time. She's getting more adventurous in her old age (hee hee).


Ron and I went to Barnes and Noble this evening to look at travel books. We're trying to figure out where to go this September. We know we want to take a week, but we're not sure where to go. Ron really needs it to be a low-key, relaxing time. Initially we were thinking Costa Rica but it's off season. South America (Peru was the number one pick) is out since it would take too long to get there and would likely require too much running around for Ron (I'd want to see all the sights). So now we're thinking off laying low in Hawaii where we can enjoy warm weather, the beach and pineapples. I'd also like to hike to volcanos :-) But... which island? Where to stay? I'm not very good a travel planning - too many choices... It's a nice problem to have I guess. Any suggestions?
