one week to go

A week from now, the insanity officially begins. We spent the last two days in San Diego. Work commitments gave us the opportunity to get away. Unfortunately we ended up in a room next to some serious partying. They didn't call it a night until the wee hours of the morning. I almost called the front desk around 1am, but feared that might escalate things. It was a bit of a bummer. It is a nice hotel.

Overall though we had a good time. Practically had the hotel restaurant to ourselves on Thursday night. Loved that they served tea from Forte. It also showed up on our breakfast tray.

I made some progress on the holiday cards. Made a list. Got most addressed. Still need to look up a bunch of addresses though. I forgot how much work this is. I complain, but I truly do love sending these cards.

Another highlight of the short trip was finally getting to meet a friend's baby girl. She is now 7 months old, and born exactly a year after another friend's son. The last time we were in town we were at the baby shower! San Diego really isn't that far from Los Angeles.

Per usual, we overpacked. We had computers and library books. The staff helped us out with our stuff. In the confusion, the bag with the cows got put in the trunk! I had driven about a mile when I realized they were not in the back seat. I pulled the car over to a yellow zone, and B got out, stepping in a puddle, and moved them. Yes, we really did.
