BUSY BUSY

I'm in that weird place where you feel exhausted but also like you haven't done anything for which to be exhausted! I mean, sure we're trying to puppy-proof the house, and have been making ice-cream left and right. I quote Matt "I am done scraping chocolate off of dishes". Long Beach dog shows one weekend, and San Francisco in two weeks. We had a great BBQ on the 4th and I spent the rest of the weekend sleeping in one of my epic weekends of unconsciousness.

Now, it's back to work and a busy few weeks-sponsored Padres games, days at the track and trips to SF and Seattle. After Seattle, I don't know if I'll see my Cohort again until the holidays...if even then. I'm spending most of November in New Zealand (approximately 26 days) so won't have hardly any remaining time off to use for trips home off at Christmas or Thanksgiving. (I'm arriving home the day before Thanksgiving and will have to work the day after Turkey Day. Unfortunately for Matt, this year he won't be able to panic-out at the grocery store and run away, leaving ALL MY RECIPES in the store...)

I'm a touch worried - after the unimaginable jetlag upon return from Japan, cooking Thanksgiving dinner for us with an even greater time difference under my belt should be interesting! But, hey, worst case scenario we order pizza.

Hope you're all having a fantastic summer! I can't wait to see some of you in a couple weeks...I miss my pals!
