Peanut butter pie

I'm back! Bet you didn't know I was gone. Well, aside from gone from blogging, seemingly. Anyway, I flew to Washington state for a few days to visit Kathy and Erin, in honor of Erin's golden birthday, which was yesterday. We had a fantastic time of cooking, baking, eating, bocce-playing, garage sale-ing, and camping. I got the first five Harry Potter DVDs for $10, a Marc Jacobs sundress for $7.50, and a cute teacup and saucer, among many other finds. Erin scored most: she got a free puppy.

Now I am back at work after some epic traveling. Let's just say Continental can kiss my butt. As can the one United "customer service" rep who was a total jerkface. Otherwise, though, United redeemed itself, as did Delta despite a four-hour delay that got me home and to bed around 4:30 a.m. on Monday. And if you're wondering why one trip involved three airlines, well, so am I. Orbitz? Care to answer?

Today is my birthday, and Chris got up early and made me pancakes and coffee. I love him so much!

Run, don't walk

to see Toy Story 3. It was so amazing. I can't wait to see it again!

The answer: distraction.

I'm back.

Upside: I didn't have any voicemails waiting for me. I get to move into a nicer cubicle by a window.

Downside: I'm back.

However, I'm making some changes. I'm quitting Twitter. I'm going to try to drink green tea in the morning instead of coffee...and cut out sugar, or at least cut back (we'll see how THAT goes). I'm going to organize my closet and clean up my bedroom. And I'm going to leave on time every day. Also, if I lose 8 pounds by July 15 I'm going to buy a new dress for Chris's cousin's wedding. So you guys should send me your links.
