photo just came across my phone. it's from my sister.

she's in a sea plane somewhere over alaska right now, on an excursion from their alaskan cruiseship. i'll try to conjure up this image of ice and coolness while i'm at bootcamp tonight in 96 degree texan weather.

i'm back

i'm home. i'm weary. my trip wasn't too long, less than a week. i have trouble switching time zones (especially going west to east) so i kinda kept it in the back of my mind that i wouldn't. i'd stick to seattle time for the most part (instead of giving in to eastern time). it was my reason to sleep in late. "10 am?? nope, it's only 7am." my plan backfired when i had to arise at 2 am for my flight yesterday. now i want to play hooky today, lay on this bed, with that poof pillow,

and finish this. i started it on the trip. i'm only 1/3 of the way in and i recommend it already.

...to pennsylvania. mom is having surgery and i'm the post-op nurse. my sister will be with her the day of. and then i'll swoop in for the next week. hopefully i'll be a better nurse than this lady.



hopefully i won't have to hobble anyone if they don't stay in bed and rest.

* i know this photo is quite popular and hasbeen on many blogs, but i love it! and just had to use it.
