Yeah, not much from me lately. Just don't want to bore my 2 readers with stories about idiotic tourists and daily work life. But here are a few notes of interest...-Sadie is coming to visit! And so is my mom! 2 weeks each, and it will rock. Even if our 'hallway' gets a bit cramped.-Bought tickets to Lani's wedding in Alaska this summer, which will be amazing to enjoy during the solstice. BTW Lando...not sure if you were serious about me giving the speech, but I'm coming up with sort of a 'Cheers/speech' instead, which would be a little more my style and less nerve-racking. Also get to hang with cousin Ryan and little Will and do all sorts of outdoorsy things which Alaska is known for. Cannot wait!-I am once again on the gala committee for the Friends of the Virgin Islands National Park. This year, the party is at the MOST exclusive villa on St. John that was just listed for sale for $32 million. It will be fabulous and fun, and rest assured, I will be drinking my share and more of Veuve Clicquot. Here's a link to the villa,
Presidio del Mar, which also rents for $4,600 a night!
-Barack Obama is president, and I really did not realize I would be so thrilled!-I just bought a king size Heavenly bed set, which for anyone who is stayed at a Sheraton/Weston/W/St. Regis understands it is the most amazing bed EVER. Thank god for work discounts saving me a good thousand off the price.-Seems as though I will be summering in Seattle. I am glowing with anticipation of the gorgeous NW and all my friends. And the music scene. And the affordable groceries. And and and.....-Just in case you think everything is coming up roses, there are those pesky tourists again. I really can't stand them. Seriously. They walk down the middle of the road, they don't seem to realize that they are OUTSIDE the U.S. and not everything is 'perfect' like their beloved country, they think they're the only people who exist in the whole universe, they wear stupid clothes, they drive on the wrong side of the road, they act as if they're getting drunk for the first time, they are disrespectful of local culture. I could keep going, but won't.Instead, I leave you with these. Pics from my December trip w/ co-workers to Coral World on St. Thomas, where we played w/ sealions and got stung by some nasty old jellyfish. Love the pic w/ Jamie getting the sealion face slap.
