I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I can't believe I have three more days of work this week. Whose idea was that?

However, I am now enjoying Downton and an orange scone (not a proper scone, I am sure, but my commitment to eating authentic foodstuffs is pretty trivial). So that's okay.

Be careful, everyone trapped in snowglobes!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Landed 15 minutes ago, but jetway is stuck. Ah, New Orleans.

The adorable gay boys next to me are pretty adorable, though.

Aww. Yay gayboys! I'm also very jealous Dana because someone on my FB list posted that Hansens is open now. I was so sad it was so hard to find a year-round place when I was there at Thanksgiving!

I went and did the float thing, where you go in a tank full of epsom salted water and float for an hour! I wasn't really a huge fan though. It was interesting for maybe 10 or 15 minutes. Eventually, my tummy was unhappy so I had to sit up...and then I got salty water in my eyes...and then I was Done. Lasted about 45 minutes. Don't think I'll go back, but it was interesting to have tried!

I want to try lots of things I haven't done (this is a continuation of last summer's stand-up-paddleboarding and skydiving adventures). Anyone got suggestions?

Zip lining through the redwoods? Camel trek through the desert? Perhaps a little white water rafting or a mega trip to the Mall of America??

Connie: Nowhere special, just in a few months it's gonna be super-hot again and the weather taunts will be coming from the other direction.

Hah--Katie Bee, one of the things currently on a (mental) list is running a race through the redwoods (there seem to be a few different ones). White water rafting could be a thing. I think I want to add tubing this summer (I've done it before but not in a long time, and not here in Washington), but that requires friends. Dunno about camels, though--might leave that one to Aimee. But maybe a horseback ride? (I haven't been on a horse since I was like, 10).

OK, you ARE adventurous! I've been tubing and thought it was delightful and low tech. How about llama backpacking in Yosemite? Llamas carry baggage. At least in the Eighties you could do that...

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Llamas carry baggage.

Hence all the drama llamas.
