One of the amazing photos I took while in Nevada. The trip was wonderful, even though The Boy and I are both suffering from different technology afflictions. He is addicted to MySpace and texting and I am addicted to IM and email. Terrible.

His addiction has led to a restriction on his phone and internet privileges. Mine has subsided and can be attributed to a new relationship. I am just addicted to this new person. I can't say how long it will last, but it seems to be mutual. And it makes me happy.

In other technology news, I finally figured out how to play music on my phone (the LG 9900 ENV), without buying the $30 software. It only took a couple of quick google searches to find the necessary information. I bought a little micro sd a couple of months ago in preparation. I figured out that it needed to be formated, and what the lock numbers were--that was a challenge--and lo! Music! On my phone! And it seems to be as good as my ipod mini shuffle, and I can see the song info...

I also called the phone company and turned off The Boy's texting and ring tones. Off. As in none.

Now I am watching Rushmore for the first time. It is quite enjoyable. I can't believe I didn't see it sooner.

Back to work tomorrow. I am looking forward to it!

Thanks!

"Does that sparkle with all the girls?"

"SUNSHINE!"

Good thing I am not doing that NaBloPoMo, or I would be sorely failing. Right now I am in sub-freezing temperatures in a place that doesn't have enough moisture for snow, or even frost. I am feeling the happy buzz of good people, food and memories. The Boy is watching last weeks South Park episode, which my sis and I happen to have already seen. We are sitting and making jokes, laughing and calling out spoilers. The Boy is game, he likes to know what is happening before it happens...

What is it about pre-travel trials that makes me into a complete bundle of nerves? I ran around and swore and promised The Boy bodily harm if he didn't start doing his homework. Then I explained my weird mood and assured him that anything I said during this time was not reality. We got to the airport with the help of SJ, who put up very well with my insane directions and time management issues. For the first time ever we breezed through security (usually I am the one they stop, put in the plastic room and blow air at.) When we sat down at our gate with a half hour to spare, I finished my pen pal's hat (in glaring pink and black--I almost feel that I have to explain to the people around me who it is for...). I was much more sane at that moment. Everything else has been gravy.

We have made the rounds of calls to family, loving them every minute in their absence. Now we are ready to sit down to this meal of thanks. We are thankful, each of us. Most of all, for this stress free day.

And thank you for all our friends and family we love so much.
