When I first starting writing this post I began writing every little detail and then I erased it all. I realized that every little detail wasn't important. The highlights on the other hand ( Read more... )

It started out a disaster. I got up at 6 and followed my usual routine, brushing my teeth and checking email on my iPhone. It's never a good thing to see an email from Delta telling you about a change to your direct, non-stop flight. This was not an exception. My flight was canceled.

It snowed. Yes, it is December and I live in Utah. Snow is not that unusual. Particularly not in December. But, ugh ( Read more... )

More shopping. We only had a couple of hours and we made them count. If only I could defer the bills ( Read more... )

My parents finally made it to the hotel a little after midnight and we stayed up chatting until 2am. I should have exhausted today, particularly since I was too keyed up to sleep. But I really wasn't ( Read more... )

It turned out to be a decent weekend, despite the fact that I was at the office at 10 am and will be returning there in a mere 10.5 hours. Yes, it is practically past my bedtime ( Read more... )
