Bullets and No Pictures

  • I'm exhausted. "Spring forward" always kicks my butt, and this Saturday night was particularly bad. Due to multiple airline-induced delays, I was up until 4:30 Sunday morning.
  • Those airline-induced delays were because I was in Albuquerque for a conference last week. I've been to ABQ four times, always for conferences, but I'd really like to go back for a real vacation some time. It reminds me of San Antonio.
  • Speaking of San Antonio, my family and I leave for a visit there this Friday. It probably means I'll be up until about 4:30 Saturday morning; I'm really too old to do that twice in 8 days.
  • My San Antonio knitting project will be the incredibly boring blanket, which has been languishing at 40% complete since the Olympics.
  • Before I leave, I want to finish my Bougainvillea socks, which have been a focus in the last couple weeks.
  • And speaking of the Bougainvillea socks -- they are one of Anne Hanson's amazing designs, and last week, I won a copy of this gorgeous book in a contest at her blog!

I'm glad you at least get a fun trip this time. Be careful with that blanket--I've fallen asleep knitting before, it can be dangerous depending which way your needles are pointing--ha ha!

I hear you. I was just in DC for work, got used to the time change, came back to CST, got used to it almost, then bam, lost that hour. I'm still tired. Have a good trip.

Hate DST... Albuquerque isn't as awesome as Sante Fe and Taos. You should definitely visit!

Here's hoping that you don't incur any additional sleep deprivation...

Have a wonderful trip, but not I'm craving Salsa, I always crave salsa when anyone says San Antonio, stupid Pace commercials.

You're down here? Maybe I'm reading this too late and you're already back! In any case, I hope you enjoyed your Texas time and got to see the beginning of this year's bumper crop of bluebonnets!
