Last week

This past week, Vic and I have been busily planning out our trip to Bali. Holy hell, I'm so excited about it. We've decided to break up the trip into three bits: the first bit in Ubud (major city and Bali's artistic and cultural hub), the second bit on a tiny little island just off of Bali and the third in one of the more popular beachy tourist spots. Getting to this plan was a bit tortuous because Vic WANTS TO DO AND SEE EVERYTHING and me, well I want to go for spa treatments, sit on a beach and maybe do a little yoga. So it took us a while to come to a compromise of three different Balinese cities/towns and I think we're both pretty happy with that. Honestly, I haven't been this excited about a trip in I don't know how long.

Right now, Vic and Gus are off at one of Gus' soccer games and I am simmering a sauce for a killer lasagne I'm making from a Jamie Oliver recipe. Did you know Jamie is my secret boyfriend? It's a secret 'cause he doesn't know about it, but Vic and Gus are well aware of my naked chef crush. Whenever he's on TV, they like to make smoochy noises and generally make fun of me. It's so fun living with two boys. Jamie's Food Revolution USA just started airing here and I caught the end of the second episode last night, where the folks of Huntington, WV make him cry. Poor Jamie!

Gus starts school again on Tuesday next week. Thank God! Once he's back in school, I can get back into the swing of things and finally finish up a draft of a thesis chapter I've been working on for an embarassingly long time. I am looking forward to that.
