Coming Home Tomorrow

In my usual style (that drives Sarah crazy) - I have yet to pack a thing for my trip tomorrow:) The driver will pick me up in about 24 hours - I suppose I should figure out what all I'm bringing home. It actually isn't much since I have a lot of clothes sitting in Rochester. Any requests from Taiwan? It has to be something from 7-11 or on my walk to the subway:) haha!!

Typhoon didn't even come close to Taiwan - now I have a plethora of rice and Pepsi. I figured if I was trapped all day and the stores weren't open, I could survive for a day on rice and Pepsi. Didn't occur to me later that I wouldn't be able to steam the rice if the electricity went out. I probably flunked my practice run for my first Typhoon. I'll do better next time!! At least my cleaning lady was able to make it on schedule and catch me up on my ironing... I was worried I'd have to do some of my own ironing!!! Yet another thing that drives Sarah crazy!!

After having a very unique experience this past weekend, this upcoming weekend will only involve driving a U-Haul for a day, then a pool party, then driving to Iowa for the week of the 4th. Somewhere there's a 14 hour plane ride as well. I ended up finding a flight from here to San Francisco, then a red eye flight to Chicago Thursday night/Friday morning. I hate red eye flights!!! But good stuff will be waiting for me once I get to Chicago.

Hope everyone is having a good week. My pastor here in Taiwan emailed me today to see how I was and how my friends/family in the MidWest floods were doing. He said they prayed for everyone again at church this past Sunday even though I was not there! Thought that was pretty amazing.

I'm off to watch Wimbledon and then to bed - Not sure I'm a fan of Sharapova's tuxedo shirt for playing Tennis.... I think it'll be Nadal and Federer in the final again.
