Busy bee

This has been an extremely hectic month. We spent the first weekend in NYC. It was Sandy's post-exam shopping celebration trip. Sandy bought a ton of clothes and shoes while I only bought a sweatshirt (cuz it was freakin freezing that weekend, and I only brought shorts and short-sleeve shirts) and a pair of running shoes. Oh and I finally bought two hats from New Era. Haven't worn them yet, but they're now available. Guess I also bought an iPod Shuffle for working out. Food-wise: first day was Joe's Shanghai with Randy for lunch (yum), ate a large tub of popcorn while watching Iron Man 2 for dinner, watched Wicked again, Korean BBQ as a late-night snack. Sunday was Lombardi's for lunch and Korean BBQ again with Randy for dinner. The best thing about the trip? I discovered that Jamba Juice sells fresh squeezed orange juice in a ginormous cup! Had two in two days. Delicious.

Got home Monday night. That Thursday we welcomed our very first visitors to Bermuda! Amy, Cindy and Howard flew in with tons of food treats...Easy Macs, an entire box of Shin instant noodles, Pocky sticks, etc. Lots of good food and good company. Ate out almost every meal. Beach, golf, BBQ, spa, boat. Good times.

They left on Monday. Victor, Tammy, Kira and Sandy's mom flew in that Friday. Played 18-hole par 3 at the Southampton Princess right before picking them up from the airport. More beach, BBQ and boating. Good family time. Stayed until Thursday.

Last night, while laying in bed, we found a swarm of fleas on Scooby. A while back I noticed black spots in Scooby's fur. I just figured it was dirt cuz he's only had 2 baths in the 6 months we've been here. Didn't think much of it. Turns out they're flea shit! And his entire body was covered in it! We prolly spent around 2 hours going thru his fur looking for fleas. Poms naturally have a lot of fur, and he's never ever had a haircut! Ended up pulling out at least 20 fleas! Disgusting. Rocky was flea-ridden as well.

Went out this morning and bought some flea shampoo and gave both dogs baths before golfing at the Southampton again. Still found at least 10 fleas on Scooby afterward his bath.

So even tho I've been trying to avoid the sun, two straight weeks of taking visitors to the beach and out on the boat, along with 3 rounds of golf has left me pretty damn dark. If Bermudians didn't think I was a restaurant worker before, I'm sure they do now.
