Getting into a Grove

I had a first hand experience with the bad part of living in a warm climate, bugs. I went to the kitchen this morning and was greeted by ants, ewww. I was comforted by the fact that we had already had a visit from the little guys in our hotel room and found out that it was very common. Most of the stores don't open until later around here (11-11:30) but I was there at 10 when the doors opened to Carefour (Singapore's Walmart) to get traps and spray. I think it's under control now.

Adam comes home tomorrow! (I'm choosing to ignore the fact that he leaves again the next day).

I've certainly been keeping busy at work, but I'm enjoying it. I've met some pretty adorable kiddos and even got to attend the George Washington Ball last Saturday at the Ritz Carlton with my colleagues. It's an annual event put on by the American Association of Singapore. This years theme was the 1920s and I didn't have time to get a dress until the day of. Luckily, I found a 20s "ish" dress at a department store. It was fun, but it would have been better with a dance partner, especially with the great swing band.

I'm waiting for the rain to stop so I can take a walk. It hadn't been raining too much when we first arrived - considering it is the rainy season - but for the past 2 weeks it's been coming down almost every afternoon.

I'm glad it's almost time for Spring Forward so I can be an hour closer to all of you =)
