Hi! I'm home. Got home Sunday. Been working and doing stuff since the moment we got home. Busy as fuck, but worth it. SO WORTH IT. Before I get into all that though here's two pictures from my Awesome OtterLand Adventure.
Here's a Sea Otter at the Monterey Bay Aquarium. I think it's Mae, but I'm not sure. Otters are wiggly and it's hard to pay attention to the Humans when they say who's who when you got a furry bundle of joy dancing in front of you. She's playing with a toy. :D
Here's a view from the pebble beach area. (Clickety Biggety)
Okay so I'm guessing your wondering about the title of this post and why I've been too busy to post since getting home... See Saturday night as the honey and I relaxed in the bubbly hot tub after a kickass day of Otter Spotting my honey asked if I needed to return to work on Monday. Sadly yes I did was the answer. So he asked if I could take Thursday and Friday off this week as I technically only took three days off work.
I being all relaxed and therefor smarter than my normal self said sure and why don't we go to Vegas for the weekend.
The honey agreed that if we could swing it that it was a great idea.
Sunday after we got home I got to work and the honey got to making plans. He is awesome at making cool travel plans happen btw. *GRIN*
So we got the hotel room and flight booked and off to La$ Vega$ we go!!! :D
I'd have gotten online sooner to tell y'all but I've been busy getting stuff done so I can go worry free.
Wheeeeeeeeee! We fly out tomorrow afternoon and get back Saturday night. We even have the yarn stores planned into the trip. *L*
I'll post about my Fantastic OtterLand Vacation at some point when I get back.
I think I lost/am loosing all the whack I gained by doing all this traveling around. But that's okay, I'd rather loose my whack in OtterLand and Vegas than not ya know. *L*
To all the peoples who sent emails yatta, I'll reply when I get back, after my brain has returned.
Oh and wanna know something too totally fucking cool about all of this?
Tomorrow is our Nine Year Anniversary. *GRIN*
Not marriage mind you, ya know being together and committed without having anything to prove to a mean gaseous being or the government. *L* (In many cases that is practically interchangeable. :P)
Okay so I may or may not post again tomorrow. Gotta take TKK back to the vet/kitty hotel in the morning. She will not like that one damn bit as we only just picked her up yesterday. Last night she held me down and forced a kitty tongue bath on my face. Good thing she's cute. I won't just let anybody with fishie breathe do that ya know. ;^)
Oh and in knitting news didn't do too much knitting in OtterLand. I almost have the second sock down to the point where I can start the heal on it and the Duckie Hat is moving along as well. I have cast on fever for the Anemoi Mittens and my Dave Lace but I'm forcing myself to finish the socks or the hat before I can start the next thing. The Pink Dream socks are very compelling and I'm guessing they'll get done before the Duckie since they are getting all the love right now. At least until I turn the heals and do the gussets. *L*
Well I gotta go finish repacking my bags since the laundry is done. Plus I'd like to sleep at some point and I still have some work stuff to finish up.
All in all, it's good to be the Otter. *grin*
happy anniversary! have a great time and be well!

Wow, happy anniversary. You're still a jet-setting couple after all these years. That's great.
Poor TKK, she must really be missing you guys. Make sure to bring her a nice treat from Vegas.

Just thought you should know I am officially going through withdrawal symptoms and it's not from lack of Dayquil. Seriously missing your blog, but I guess you do have a life outside of the blog realm. :-) Hope you are having a spectacular day!
