Why hello again....

1. Travel. I love travel, but it did keep me from blogging.
2. Walgreens having cute Christmas tins on sale.
3. Being in a Christmas spirit this year, I've been so bah-humbug the last two.
4. Ceiling fans.
5. Sweetened Dried Cranberries - wouldn't eat them otherwise.

Since I have much to catch up on, some thoughts I had while on travel and no access to a computer at night:
1. iPods - to help motivate me when I do decide to jog, to keep me in deep thought while walking around the city, and for my sister who I know loves her music more then anything else
2. The Wright brothers, I can't imagine life without planes and flying. I miss seeing people get off the plane and greeted by their loved ones, meeting at baggage claim isn't nearly as exciting.... but nonetheless I love planes and airports.
3. Kinda on the same note - toilet seat covers. Especially in Chicago when they rotate on your own, the less you have to touch the better.
4. anti-bacterial gel
5. the ability to sleep on planes, I really do get the best sleep there. My neck may suffer a bit, but its the sacrafice I'm willing to make.
6. Staying in a Marriott again, love it.
7. Hotel rooms with full kitchens - walked to a grocery store and baked a cake for the office. So fun.
8. Law & Order always being on TV for when I want to veg.
9. Living the big city life last week while in Chicago, made me feel really alive!
10. Once again being able to work with an amazing group of people - intelligent, hard-working and that is very inspiring. I love it when you come across good people, especially a group of them!
