Welllll... I'm back from sunny, beautiful California. I felt really bad about missing that really bad weather out here. Really. While everyone in the northeast and north were dealing with the bad storm, I was running around in jeans and a t-shirt, enjoying the sun. And I felt soooo bad about not being around to shovel.
So, miss me?! :) A week without me blogging... how did you all survive? I had a fabulous trip! Very busy, but fabulous. I'm kinda tired out from my vacation now, though, and am happy to be home and sleeping in my own bed. Not that my cats let me sleep... they apparently REALLY missed me!
Anyway, I'll be posting some photos I took on that trip, because I think I took some I'm proud of. But even with levelling (thanks Roge, for all the photo rates!), I still don't have that many photo slots. If anyone's interested in seeing all of the photos I took, let me know. I did a really interesting photo tour of a "day in the life of Berkeley, CA," from which I'll only be able to publish a few photos, for example.
Random thoughts:
Why do automatic flush toilets always flush when you don't want them to, and never when you do?
First class is far superior to coach. Too bad it takes me 7 1/2 trips to/from Chicago to earn enough frequent flier miles to upgrade ONE WAY of a trip. *sigh*
People continually reaffirm my (perhaps naive) belief in their basic goodness. While laden with jacket, briefcase, and purse, I accidentally left my boarding pass on the tram in Pittsburgh on my way out of town. Someone found it and dropped it off at the appropriate gate for me.
In other news, cleaning out my friends list again soon. I'm really not that ruthless, so if you're reading this, you probably don't have to worry. So don't beg for your life unless it involves lots of presents for me (since I love presents), although they aren't necessary as bribes. :)
