I'm back from Los Angeles, after an excellent but action-packed trip. I'll have more to say about my past week of extreme Busy tomorrow. I'm too tired right now. :-P Since I worked one day, I had a computer and could at least keep up with LJ and a few others.

I do want to post an important reminder: Online registration for Ascendio closes tomorrow ( Read more... )

I'm back! Actually, we got back yesterday, but I caught a cold that manifested on Sunday and I wasn't up to LJing last night. I'm still trying to catch up, because between LJ drama and Yuletide, you were kind of chatty, flist. <3 ( Read more... )

And oh, what a lovely vacation it was. We were pretty sad to get on the plane back to the real world yesterday. Much more description with lots of pictures to come once I get them organized ( Read more... )

Happy Birthday, lagreyeyes!

I am rocking my to-do list today, largely thanks to a 9AM hair appointment making sure I got up early. At this point, I'm just waiting for my sister's plane to land in three hours. I hope she gets all her work done on the plane so she doesn't have to do it here.

Since I'm looking at a week of family time, I took myself to Jane ( Read more... )

Happy Birthday, jessryn!

And with that, I am done with my snowy travels. This winter, with three trips covering thirteen days, I saw more snow than I have in the entire past decade. I got good at dressing for it, but I'm glad it's over (the weather part - each trip was highly enjoyable!). Next time, I'm going to Hawaii ( Read more... )

I got home last night! It's nice not to have to catch up; not only did I have all kinds of gadgets with me, but the hotel had free wireless, so that was nice. I probably should've documented the trip while I was there, huh? That's going to come back to bite me. :-P ( Read more... )

Finished a couple of my big, looming work tasks today, so that's a relief. Of course, that just frees up time for the rest of the big, looming tasks. *eyes work laptop ( Read more... )

This trip has been exactly what I needed, and I think it'll end up being just the right length, too. I go home tomorrow night; one more day of not being at work, or thinking (much) about it, should be good for a recharge without leaving me overwhelmed with catch-up ( Read more... )

Somehow, I made it through the week of insanity.

Tuesday: Guest at lunch, then journey up to SF to hang out with abyssinia4077. It took me just under an hour to get up there, which is a friggin' miracle at that time of day. There were pupusas and pie. Mmmm ( Read more... )

It was nice and sunny this morning, but a very windy storm blew in later, so rather than spending much time away from home after my library run, I came back and missed being dripped on. Picked up two at the library - one, an A. A. Milne fantasy book I'd never heard of (Once on a Time, anyone know it?), and two, the first in the Song of the Lioness ( Read more... )
