Spiceworld... No, not the movie.

So this week has been eventful! Myself and a coworker headed into London Tuesday and Wednesday for Spiceworld London 2014! Sadly, to Anna's disappointment, this was not a Spice Girls reunion tour, but an I.T. conference put on by Spiceworks (an I.T. Management platform.)


Soooo many awkward nerds! All in all though, it was pretty informative, and I scored a bunch of free swag. The company is also based out of Austin, so I had a heathy dose of Texas for a couple days as well (I even called out one of the presenters on his liberal use of "y'all" at the after party.... Free drinks were involved.) Oh, and commuting into London is definitely not for me. So many people in such a small place, the rush hour underground is my own personal hell. Driving around Surrey is much nicer!

Let's see, what else. Last weekend was nice enough... We ventured into Wimbleton to buy Anna a new interview suit (she has 3 this week!) And while we were there, we found the nearest Chipotle... The menu is exactly the same, minus the huge American soda machines! Oh, and I think I had to sell a kidney to afford the guacamole, but it was worth it!


We also found a cool little market by the Wimbleton library, and Anna bought some jam (that's my jam,) and some handmade cards. Here's a semi-interesting picture of the library exterior!


Brick books!

Anyway, things continue to be pretty great here. We (eventually) managed to Skype with my mom and brother on Saturday, and Anna's mum on Sunday, so that was nice... To honor Mother's Day, we even had a double rainbow!


Leprechauns must live on The Ashley Center.

Yeah, the weather here changes. A lot. Still, this results in many amazing rainbows appearing directly out of our living room windows, which is awesome.

Tomorrow we get to celebrate Combat Stress' 95th anniversary by having a pig roast and casual Friday at the office. Yeah, I have no idea what to expect, but I bet it will be interesting, no matter what!

Anna has an interview with the Ramblers tomorrow, so wish her luck! She founded the Ramblers Group at her college, and as we all know she kicks large amounts of butt, so really they'd be crazy not to offer her a position! :-)

Updates to follow!
