*aggravated sigh* After a nice and relaxing weekend getaway to the Tahoe/Reno area, I come home to a mess at the office. I'm extremely frustrated with certain co-workers right now. The situation could have been prevented if they had been more careful. *rubs head wearily* I refuse to think about it anymore, but at least I don't have to be there ( Read more... )

Today is March 14, 2009, 22:51. I am backdating this to September 21, 2008, 22:51 because I never got around to posting the descriptions of my Las Vegas trip here• Float trip down the Colorado River was so much fun.

Since my parents loved hearing about my hot air ( Read more... )

To celebrate Mother's Day weekend, my parents and I drove to the Tahoe/Reno area where I had hotel reservations and various activities planned. My mom enjoys these little out of town trips, and I enjoy planning them. Highlights ( Read more... )

I just got home after a fun and relaxing Mother's Day weekend in Lake Tahoe/Reno. I'm thoroughly exhausted since I went on an early morning hike and drove all the way home (five hours); I feel like I'm still in motion. As soon as this is posted, I'm off to bed. I'll post more about the weekend tomorrow and catch up with all of your journals. I hope ( Read more... )
