First and foremost, HAPPY BIRTHDAY jakejr! Now I must decide if I bring your gifts with me on Sunday or if I make you wait until the 22nd...decisions, decisions :)

After a good night's sleep I'm feeling much better today. Felt bloody awful by the time I left last night, though, and I was eating Rolaids like candy. People in the meeting kept giving me odd looks, but it was that or start heaving so...yeah. Anyway, I made it through and was even mildly productive so I felt good about that.

Woke up a bit late this morning but managed to get in nearly on time so that was good. And I got to listen to part of a new mix from the vastly talented ravenmb on my way in, which was delightful. It's going to be one I get to savor during my 8 1/2 hour drive to Vegas in a little over a week, I expect.

I'm really looking forward to a roadtrip on my own, oddly enough. It'll give me some time to just think and be. No need to chat, I can stop whenever I feel like it, and basically just enjoy some me time. It sounds heavenly.

Oh and have I mentioned that I recently purchased a toaster? Yeah one of those extra wide ones 'cause my sisters are bagel fanatics and they just work better in those. I've been doing a lot of toasting lately (with a sick stomach there's very little that's gentler on it than a nice warm bagel) and Pye is absolutely loving it. He just sits in the kitchen inhaling all the bready fumes with this look of bliss on his face. I swear he'd rather eat a few bites of a bagel than all the soft catfood in the world.

And the Kingdom of Heaven ads have been running a lot recently, so much so that I doubt I'll be able to resist picking up a copy at Target this weekend. Mmmm, David Thewliss goodness...

You know, I meant to include a note with that mix and completely forgot. I strayed just a bit from your request. It isn't a single character. If you need a further hint, let me know. Glad you're enjoying it so far. I'm still smitten with AK, and would love to pick your brain on what made you choose each song....

Hee!

I always love it when I just take off and drive somewhere, and am already half-planning a trip down to San Diego in January. Hope you find it as addictive as I have!
