First Trip to the Durham Bulls Park

The Manasier's of Cary took a quick trip to Durham today to see Baseball's Team USA take on Team Korea. Despite a one hour rain delay, we had a great time and the girls got to see their very first baseball game. Unfortunately for the men on the field- and the vendors peddling their wares- the turn-out for this game was very low (I am guessing a few hundred people, IF that). Fortunate for us because we got to move our seats up much closer that we were originally seated.

We are home now. Girls and daddy are sleeping and I am about to turn in for bed myself. I was planning to post pics, but this site is being difficult! Grrrrr.

PS- US won 5-2.

Independance Day / NC Arrival

We are here in NC. Despite a rough start (car issues, food poisoning and a very long ride) we are getting settled in.

On July 4th, we went over to the Amphitheater to watch the fireworks. One of my former Pomona friends lives here, as does her family- so we went with them and had a great time. The girls have been adjusting nicely, making friends and staying busy. We went to the pool yesterday and spent around 3 hrs swimming. Here are some pics.

Evacuation

The sirens scream wanton attention.
Time to take heed and change direction.
Time to take stock and make omissions.

Evacuation. Evacuation.

Time to take leave all formal functions.
Time to plant seeds of a reconstruction.
No time this time to feign reluctance.

In a SonicNet interview, Eddie Vedder said: " The theory behind the song, which I've probably done 4 times already, is getting out of a situation. 'Rearview Mirror' might be the same song. But it's time to make a change - it's a song about change."


That being said, with our “evacuation” from NY just nine days away, I’ve decided to update the blog a bit- make a change just like Eddie says. I am planning to work again with the fabulous Nikki to give this old page a face lift- new layout, new pics of the girls. Stay tuned for some change folks...

Memorial Day 2010

We are winding down from a very busy Memorial Day weekend. With only a month left until moving day, we are trying to balance both entertaining and enjoying time with the girls with trying to pack up this house.

This past Friday, the Manasier's hit the circus over in Monroe. Saturday consisted of ballet, packing and laundry. Sunday was a BBQ in Stony Point surrounded by the familia. Monday was a mixed bag- while Chris worked, the girls and I re-visited Nana in SP, followed by some Grandma in Chestnut Ridge, followed by a solo visit by me to Pottery Barn. I am officially beat.

Girls are now watching Charlie Brown's Thanksgiving while I update this blog. Here are a few pics of this weekend's events:

Cars

Chris sold his car. I rented a car last weekend. We are using one car, which is getting to be quite a pain in the arse. My car is getting a tune-up, so today I have a loaner car. Tomorrow we look to buy a new car. On Monday, I rent a car again to drive to Boston on business.

How's that for sticking with a theme!!

I'm Still Alive

In the words of the Prophet Eddie Vedder "I'm still alive".

It's been a while since my last post- I am just lazy I guess. Too much going on. Plus Chris and I turned 40 this year, so these old bodies don't move as quick as they did when they were 39. LOL.

Move day is tentatively June 30 with an arrival in NC July 1. Yipee!!!

Pic of the girls for your viewing pleasure....
