Another day...another dollar....

Here I am, travelling again, this time in Irvine. Talk about a cultural wasteland! Office building after office building after office building... Still, I'm here for 2 days, teaching my class. My good friend is meeting up with me tonight and we're going out! I'm going to force her to drink margaritas, just because I can't! I'm sure she won't mind.

I'm getting a bit tired of this travelling thing. It's really my fault though. I told my employer I'd only do this contract if I could finish by the end of April. That required me to travel every two weeks. Which in theory doesn't seem too bad, until you're doing it. I wanna be home with my hubby! Waaaah!

Ok, I'm done with that.

The plans have been made. We are taking a cruise to Alaska. I don't know if I mentioned that we are having houseguests in May. Friends from Ireland. They wanted to go to Alaska for a week long cruise and we finally decided to go. I was hesitant since I can't drink... (what if it rains the whole time, what'll I do then??? lol) but I decided we should go. I think it'll be fun and it'll certainly be beautiful. Who knows what we'll do when the bun is born? We might stop travelling. Or not. I might shrivel up and die if we stop travelling. (Let me just note here that travelling for fun and travelling for work are two COMPLETELY different things and while I don't really like travelling for work, travelling for fun is a necessity! I just wanted to clear that up in case you were confused!)

So that's all for now. I'm going to my hotel and I'm going to take a nap before my friend arrives. I promise to write something more interesting next time.

More interesting? Well, I dunno about that, coz you actually touched on a couple of my recent (fears?) thoughts. It's going to be interesting to me to watch how you deal with the work/travel/bun stuff....NOT that I'm anticipating having to deal with it any time soon! LOL

More than anything, you sound really happy A. Your Alaska trip sounds like fun! :-)

Ironically I was going to Alaska in May too but had to cancel. Will be in Vancouver though :)

A cruise to Alaska sounds like fun! That's funny the no-drinking part is a bummer.
Last night I drank for the first time since St. Patrick's Day. Now I remember why I quit. Ugh!

I think travelling is a must also. But I don't do it as much. I'm trying to figure out why.
Hmmmm. My Seattle trip has to be postponed...grrrr.

Irvine- that brings back memories. That's where my staff was and where Hubby's corp headquarters was when we were long-distance dating. We dated more in Irvine than our own state! :)

How are you feeling? I can't imagine being on the road and having a bun!

Working on the road with a bun. Only YOU can pull it off, A! :-)

Somehow, I can't see you and M giving up your vagabond ways. It'll be the 3 of you, with diaper bags and fisher-price gadgets in tow.

(SO happy for you!)

I can feel you near. Are you headed my way???

HUGS,
G
