Ahhhh…it is good to be home. I had a nice time in New Mexico, but I am definitely happy to be back with my bed, my computer, and my TV. I can’t help it, I like to be connected at all times!

I just got home a little while ago, since I unfortunately got stuck in Dallas overnight due to weather. At least they put me up in a nice hotel! That was pretty cool. The rooms usually run $250 a night, but I got to stay for free with an airline voucher. SWEET. The only thing that sucked was having to wake up at 5 am (4 am New Mexico time) to catch my flight out. Ugh.

So, yeah, I’m tired and already stressed about going back to work in the morning…it’ll be a long rest of the week!

I’ll try to post more deep and meaningful thoughts about my vacation, and all of the thoughts I had since I had ample time alone to think about a lot of things I didn’t have any business pondering…but whatever.

For now, you get some fun vacation pics!

How come I just saw my old boss on VH1 News? Not a cool way to start the morning! For those of you who don’t know – go read/see The Devil Wears Prada. That was my life. Except instead of fashion it was politics and entertainment. And instead of a reputable company it was well, not so kosher.

Anyway…

Have a great weekend everyone!

There are a ton of controversial relationship topics I want to post about – the previous one was just the beginning…but for now, you get a disclaimer for the rest of the week:

I’m going on vacation…
…and I won’t have internet access.

Now, for most people that’s fine – it’s good to get away. But, for someone like me who checks their email (and everything else on the internet) practically on the hour or more…that’s not so good.

I’m heading to New Mexico Thursday through Monday to meet my parents at their condo. They bought it a year or so ago and as of now plan to retire there. They go out there once or twice a year for anywhere from a week to a month, so this time I thought I would join them.

However, in booking my flight, I forgot the key details of:

1. No real bed for me. (I get an air mattress because they haven’t furnished the second room yet.)
2. No TV. No cable. (Not even a TV to watch DVDs on or anything.)
3. No internet. (I’m sure I will find myself at an internet cafe.)
4. No phone line. (Thank God for cell phones.)
5. No pool. (Can’t even work on my tan!)

So, what kind of vacation is that? Well, I guess it will be one where I will be almost cut off from everything I would usually have on vacation – and catch up on the pile of books I’ve been meaning to read.

I’m also looking forward to lots of good (and free – yay parents!) food and some cool museums and sightseeing. Santa Fe and Taos are nice artsy type towns, so there should be some cool stuff there. However, my funds are at a minimum, so it may be just a lot of window shopping. It’s supposed to be kind of rainy – but temperatures are projected in the 70′s, with low’s in the 50s…I’ll take it. That’s gonna feel NICE after this oppressive heat and humidity. Last year’s week in Sun Valley was perfect weather, so this will be another good midwest, high altitude escape.

And hey, if I see Julia Roberts there…I’ll make sure to take a picture to post.

I hope everyone has fun at the HH on Friday – drink one for me loves!
