Happenings

Apparently we are scheduled to experience a bit of weather from Hannah this weekend. This tropical storm is not yet a Hurricane but we should be getting rain and wind and all tha good stuff. I don't know about you, but as long as there is nothing planned I'm all about rain on a Saturday. What a nice time to sleep in, watch movies and be a rag-a-muffin in general. Ike, though is something to worry about (I guess) or at least if you are in it's path, close to the ocean (Mommy Sharon and Stan can always come stay here!).

In other news, since I wear both the weather man hat as well as news reporter in general, Leo and I saw there is a new attraction in downtown Raleigh. The new convention center is done and will open soon. The cool thing they have added to it is called the Shimmer Wall. It's a wall (duh) with squares on it that reflect light with the wind. Here you see a tree - because Raleigh's nick name apparently is the City of Oaks. Who knew? Anyway, at night there are lights too. It's pretty cool.

This week, a friend of mine just gave birth to a little girl (on Labor Day!). Congrats Meredith and Marco. And we found out not too long ago our neighbors are expecting their 2nd, very close to us on the calendar!

As for me, I am getting my energy back slowly and digging out of the e-mails and papers that have been multiplying everywhere. Tomorrow I will be 13 weeks along and officially through with the first trimester. Yay!
