Brief Vacation

I took a brief hiatus down in San Diego to visit friends and family...went surfing, helped the parentals pack up the kitchen in preparation for remodeling...hung out with Mo, drank excellent red zinfandel (Quivera) and ate home-made chili soup, cheese & jalapeno scones, and cinnamon coffee bars topped with dark chocolate. I feel fat, sassy, and very relaxed. And not so fat 'cause I also did a heck of a lot of walking! I also brought my ankle and wrist weights with me, which added to the weight of my carry-on by six pounds. Why? It seemed like a good idea at the time...and I did wear 'em while I walked. But I think next time I'll just do without. I nearly killed myself and another passenger while hoiking the damn bag down from the overhead storage bin...

At any rate, more blogging to follow in a day or so! It was good to be gone, but it's good to be back!
