Change of Plans

So the STS-119 launch is pseudo-officially set for next Wednesday, March 11. This means that I'll be working on Sunday and maybe even for a few hours on Saturday, depending on when the products get delivered. Which means I will not be running the Texas Independence Relay with my team of blogger buddies. I'm bummed, and sad to leave them a runner short. But such is life in the space program I guess.

Instead, I plan on staying put in Clear Lake this weekend and avoiding the interstate at all costs. As part of the ongoing construction, they are shutting down I-45 at Nasa Road 1. Yep, shutting down the entire interstate. Traffic is going to SUCK.

Last night Jose and I got to do the most fun part of wedding planning so far -- cake tasting! Yummy. You can read about it on the wedding blog. Sadly, by the end of the night Jose was not feeling good and he ended up staying home sick today. At least he got to eat some cake while his taste buds were still working. Now he's all stuffed up and congested.
