Guess what? We're going to London! Guess what else? We might be moving for a year...so Sexy Nerd can go to Harvard! He is such a nerd. I love that crazy guy. Things are going pretty well over here.  Have a great weekend, my bloggy friends!

At work today, one of my coworkers took a bite from a doughnut, then put it back into our shared box and abandoned it. Just, you know, throwing that out there. Also, I'm concerned someone might think it was me. (It wasn't!) You know I've never met a doughnut I didn't finish.

(I am! I am!) It's been so nice and toasty here in Albuquerque that I thought we might get to skip winter this year. Unfortunately, the temperature right now is in the 30s. So much for wishful thinking! Have a fun - and WARM - weekend, everyone!

We had a looooong flight. Getting from Albuquerque to Oakland was fine, (other than having to get up at 3am!) Getting from Oakland to Honolulu was a different story. First, SN realized that I had been assigned a seat and he had not, next our flight was delayed 2 hours, and when we finally boarded the plane, we had to wait on the runway another 1/2 hour because of bad weather. Oh yeah, and the $5 ice cream I bought at the airport was terrible. WE ARE HAPPY THOUGH!  :)  :)   :)  Everyone is getting along and we have been having a wonderful time. We saw a monk seal on the beach and ate lunch at a really tasty bakery today. We barbequed last night and went swimming tonight. There is some big news - no more Captain Howie! That's right, after an entire year of planning, we decided to scrap the entire Captain Howie/Kualoa Ranch wedding at the last moment and planned an entirely different wedding in just a few hours. I'll post more about that another time though. W...

I'm basking in my last few days of Christmas Break freedom before returning to work on Monday. Really, the transition back into the real world shouldn't be very hard. I'm off on Tuesday. Now, let's link up! Remember, the blog hop from today will be back next week, featuring the best posts from this weekend. It gives you extra exposure for your time spent sharing links - and it's another opportunity to check out great posts you missed.

 How to Increase Traffic to Your Blog (Otherwise known as a BLOG HOP!) If anyone out there has any great Vitamix recipes to link up, please do. I finally gave in and invested in one! I never thought I'd spend over $300 on a blender, but it seemed like such a healthy TTC tool (and, hopefully, we'll be able to use it for homemade baby food). If you've been on the fence too, they're offering free shipping this month, which saves $25. My credit card also has a 5% cash back offer for online purchases in December, so that helped a bit too. The one I have coming is a refurbished Vitamix 5200. Please, please, please be worth the money!
