Final countdown

I started thinking through my packing tonight, and hope to do the actual packing tomorrow. This saves me from staying up too late friday before my flight on saturday morning. Whohoo!

I'll be gone for 10 days to France and italy, and I am so looking forward to some r&r!!

On vacation!

Well, folks...I'm finally off on vacation today. We're taking a family road trip across Alaska!
Lots of wildlife + family fun = crazy stories to come, I'm sure.


In the meantime, I've set up some autoposts. (So you won't miss me *too* much...hahahaha).

It's all in your head

Mentally, I am already on vacation. I am pretty much just phoning it
in at work this week and biding my time until I leave Saturday morning.
Whooohooooo....bring it on!!!

What happens in Vegas

. . . stays in Vegas. Unless you're a blogger. In which case it doesn't.

We had a wonderful, whirlwind weekend and managed to squeeze in a lot of fun in our 36 hours in the middle of the desert (note: 106 degrees...is hot. I have a renewed respect for that kind of heat...Holy. Crap.)

We hit up Fremont street, heard some great cover bands, walked the strip, laid by the pool, celebrated Lea Lea's birthday with a fantastic birthday meal at the Wynn, went dancing (even got to Crank dat Soulja Boy - courtesy of Rona, who made a special request to the DJ on my behalf), jumped the line at a hot lounge (thanks to AZ getting us on the guestlist at Mix), ogled Barry Manilow's huge-ass poster at our hotel, drank a little too much (well - I did, anyway), gambled a little too much (but I came out in the black!) and generally relied upon lots of coffee and water in lieu of sleep to make it through the weekend. It was a great time.
