Back home again.
Arizona was fantastic. I don't think there was a moment where I wished I was elsewhere. Everything was just...there are no words. Truly. From lounging by the pool to the awesome hotel room to the Dodge Charger and driving through mountains and deserts to the GRAND CANYON to sunsets to stars to Tony Stark and pizza to the zoo to phosphates to microbrews...and that's not the half of it. Truly incredible times. I'm lucky to have been able to go. Thanks to Alex for discovering such a fabulous place, and for inviting us to share it with her.
Now that I'm home again, the lists start. My work list is done, sans phone calls, and those will be done post-lunch. The only major things to do today are to call my mother, do some laundry, and pick up my new glasses. I wanted to do that this morning before work, but the office didn't open until ten. Boo. That would have gotten me to work at 11:30, and not leaving until around 5:30 or 6:00. Not how I want to start my week. So 9:00 to 2:00 or 3:00 it is. I can handle that.
I'd forgotten we'd agreed to stay with my cousins this coming weekend (they're 12 and 17, so it's not so much babysitting as it is corralling, I guess), and I'd further forgotten that I hadn't told my auntie we'd be able to do it. That's another phone call to make. Oooh, and Nana, too. I forgot to call her before we left. Blargh. And an email to Aunt Trish must be written, as I forgot to mail Easter weekend. I am on a roll, it seems.
Apparently the cats missed us more this time than when we went to Hawaii, because they haven't really left us alone since we got home. The baby girl has been incredibly vocal, and more cuddly than I've ever seen her. She even curled up between us when we went to bed, which is something she rarely does. I'm looking forward to meowing at her and hugging her again when I get home this afternoon.
Rest of the day is as follows:
--emails
--sorting music
--lunch
--phone calls
--more sorting
--commute (did NOT miss Chicago commutes, I tell you what)
--laundry
--change bedding in bedroom
--more laundry
--glasses pickup
--B&N or Borders for third book in series I am reading
--minor grocery shopping
--home
--dinner
--bed
I kind of want to order in, but I know that's just because I'm still on vacation food mode. Though my idea of cooking is simply to microwave a Lean Cuisine or Healthy Choice meal, I really don't want to do it today. Hmm...today could be pancit day, though, if all goes well...we shall see.
Rambled enough. Should get some more work done before David returns and catching up begins.
