Working Hard & Hardly Working

The NASA photographers caught me on console on Tuesday afternoon before we successfully met up with the Hubble in orbit. I am rocking my oh-so-sexy glasses because of my pink eye. Stupid pink eye. I'm happy to report that I am now pink eye free, and back to wearing my contacts and thus looking normal. Nothing against anyone with glasses, but I just don't like them. Not having peripheral vision annoys me greatly.

To balance out that less-than-awesome photo of me, here's an more-than-awesome picture of the Hubble in the payload bay, as seen through the aft windows on the shuttle.

Last night we checked out our house, which is now insulated! Woo. Today they're supposed to start sheetrock, so it will look quite different when we go over this weekend. Speaking of the weekend: this is my last day at work before 2+ weeks of vacation which will be spent hanging out with friends and family, going to Belize, and in between those two things -- getting married. :)
