Humidity please.

Yes. I do love the humidity. I was warned by Stacy that the air is dry here and our skin would be feeling the change in a few days. Great. My skin is already trying to set a world record for the driest. Now, here is it 3 o'clock in the morning and my eyes are trying to compete. So I got up and after unloading about half the bottle of solution in my eyes on "full stream" the contacts relinquished their death grip and I fumbled to the mound of suitcases to do a search reminiscent of that television game show Double Dare. Yes, I will take the "physical challenge". I found my glasses in under 60 seconds and no one applauded. My sinuses are like a crime fighting team from another planet. Sinus Rangers...Power Up!

I discovered that you get what you pay for in hotels where the bed (and everything else) is concerned. I am now using the baby ticker to count down the days until our moms get here since we will be changing hotels at that point in hope of relief. Adam and I have developed a plan to not eat so much since we are being served up healthy "American" sized restaurant portions at all our meals. We split a meal and sometimes take the leftovers back to the room. We have a "kitchen" here at the ExtendedStayAmerica that includes full sized fridge, two plates, two forks, two spoons, two bowls, a colander, and a pot, no kitchen soap or paper towels, a microwave and two stove eyes. So we aren't serving up much. Maybe the Marriott Suite will be better. It doesn't have any Barbi sized shampoos and lotion. Just the mini bar of soap. I did discover that the chair in the corner is actually a recliner. Now Adam and I will have something to compete for besides the one computer that will get on the internet. An internet connection that according to Adam couldn't be slower if it were being powered by an exercise bike hooked up to a battery powered alarm clock. Ok, those are my words based on his talk about band width. Which is a concept I haven't thought about since picking out wedding rings.

I have been working on my mind control skills. Don't worry, I will be using this skill mostly for good and maybe a little evil just for fun. So far it has only worked on controlling what sandwich a friend ordered at McAllister's Deli. Now, I will try it on the baby. Since I am awake already, it would be very convenient to get the call now. Give me a moment....hmmm. Nothing. Why didn't it work? The medication I am taking said that mind control was a potential side effect. Maybe it meant you LOSE mind control. Yawn...
