I am Hotter Than You

I am laying here, in D's apartment, drowning in my own sweat. It is after 6:00 pm and it is still 109 degrees. Today has been a day of laying about, drinking water, sitting in the A/C. In other words a day of nothingness. No laundry, no cooking, no touching. We have ordered dinner in. We have two epsisodes of Eureka to watch. We are content to just be sloth-like until the sun sets. My only regret is that the we are out of beer. Sigh.

The Count-Down

Three weeks from today I will be in Barcelona. I am so excited I can barely stand still. Being a Virgo I have already started my packing list. Two weeks from home means at least one very large bag, if not two. Carmen will kill me if I bring too much. Although we will be based in Girona I believe we will be traveling down the coast to see family and I am sure she doesn't want me lugging a trunk along. I will do my best.

I made all my plans to be in NOLA at the end of October. I have my hotel booked, my airfare paid for and my tickets to the concert. I will be taking a study course for three days while in NOLA so my company footed the bill on the hotel, very cool of them. Since I had already planned on buying the airfline tickets it all worked out. Eight days in one of my favorite cities in the states. I feel so fortunate.

I have also purchased tickets to see Train, Tool and tomorrow I will get tickets to see Sheryl Crow. I have been missing live shows so I am making up for it.

Tonight I am off to D's to make dinner and watch a movie. I am already running late so I best hustle.

SPAIN, SPAIN, SPAIN...Did I Mention SPAIN?!

So I booked my flight to Spain. I will be there for two weeks with my best friend Carmen. Tripping in Barcelona and Gerona, her birth-place, and perhaps a short trip to Biarritz. My little brother is in Europe for six weeks and is staying with a family in France. We may try to peak in on him for a few days. There is a chance that we won't head to France just because we will be visiting her family and may not want to take the time away. Either way, I am happy to just be with Pea.

I am also planning another trip to NOLA. I am going to see the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Duran Duran on Halloween at the VooDoo Festival! I am praying Carmen will join me, provided her field studies are done. I think I have already hooked Ms. Lyn into the deal!

So much has happened recently that I just haven't had the time to blog. In order - after NOLA, which was an amazing trip, I went on a long-weekend cruise to Mexico for Kris' bacholrette party, and then went to Philly to see Carmen receive her masters degree. We celebrated so hard the night before I am shocked any of us made it! I had nine chocolate martini's at The Continental. Gods help me. I have a million pictures to post and I will do so as soon as I have a free dozen hours or so to commit to the task.

Kris and Pavlos finally made it to the alter a few weeks ago. The wedding was beautiful. The reception is a blur. A major blur. I remember everything until about midnight when the tequila shots came out...sigh.

Work has been a handful. I LOVE my job; the people I work with and the environment are brilliant. There is so much work to do and I know how it all goes but there are times I am buried under a pile of work and think it will never end. But better to be busy then to be bored, and I am never bored.

Oh, did I mention SPAIN!
