I honestly haven't disappeared off the face of the earth. I've just been lost in my own little adventures and huge amount of work including a last minute biz trip to San Diego - where I found out the weekend before I left I had to give a presentation! The trip went well. I ate well, drank well, but only had a few hours to explore the Gaslamp District where I was staying, treated like a queen in a luxury hotel.
I'm gearing up for summer. I'm getting cabin fever and finding it hard to concentrate on work. It's always this time of year I think about leaving my job - then I remember the debt that will take us another 1.5 years to get out of and slowly slink back to my desk. I want to run out and soak up some adventures, but sometimes it's no fun doing them on my own and with Marianne still dealing with the new lifestyle after her surgery and B not ever having a normal schedule or weekends off - well I'm feeling a bit detatched and alone. I don't know how, but I ended up with lots of friends who have no sense of adventure or spontonaeity. "You Pussies!" has been my battle cry.
Memorial Day weekend is coming on us quickly. B and talked about going to Chattanooga for dinner, but with an early morning appt. we nixed it. Now I'm considering leaving after the appointment for a brief 36 hour road trip. I have to be back Sunday night in order to prepare for the Legends in the Park concert on Monday put on by the Blues Society. We're expecting over 8,000 people this year. Quite a leap from our humble 1,500 person beginning just 4 years ago. Denise LaSalle is the feature artist and I do believe she'll shine! We just hope she remembers it's a FAMILY event.
