On Vacation!

Aphelion10

I won't be back until this weekend sometime.  Try not to burn the place down while I'm gone.

Out of Office!

My rent-paying job is taking me away from my blog for a few days. At least it's to a nice place! I'll be sharing space with some of those super saguaros. I shall return on Sunday with yet another Things I've Learned from Books. Until then have a great rest of the week!

All work and no play makes Jack something, something . . .

I'm back from my desert foray. It was glorious. Didn't get much reading done because for the most part, when we were in the resort room, we were sleeping. Otherwise we were out and about doing stuff. I wish I were able to read in the car because with all of the driving we did, I could have plowed through a few books. Seriously, in the span of 6 days, we drove about 1,200 miles. All well worth it.

I would have done some posting today but the Benadryl I took earlier kind of knocked me on my ass. See, I switched deodorants just before I went out to Arizona and apparently I was a bit allergic to the new one. I just didn't recognize that it was an allergic reaction as opposed to some possible minor shaving irritation until it was far too late and I was wishing it were only some minor shaving irritation. I won't go into details because it's pretty gross but I'll just say that it itches so bad I want to break off shards of glass and rub it onto my skin to ease it. At least the Benadryl does work. It just sends me into coma land. I'll be working from home until I can wear something tighter than nothing and not go into itching fits about it. I highly doubt they'd let me wear my boyfriend's oversized Mr. Roger's t-shirt in the office.

But aside from the rash from hell, I had a great time. I saw some of the most beautiful scenery I've ever seen and it made coming back to Connecticut exceptionally difficult, especially when the drivers out there are far less aggressive and douchy as they are here. Driving back home from the airport made me want to kick a puppy. I ate some awesome food, the people out there were insanely nice and I saw a ton of cacti. I even had some shipped back to me. I should see that by the end of the week.

Of course, all good things must come to an end (I guess, for now) and I'm back to the grind starting tomorrow. I'll post the final Summer Blast Giveaway winner then, along with continuing with my regularly scheduled programing. Until then . . .

I'm On Vacation!

I'll be hanging out with these guys for the next week. I don't have any posts scheduled and any books that need to be mailed won't get mailed until I get back. Sorry in advance for the delay. I shall return next Sunday in time to post the winner for the final Summer Blast Giveaway. See you all then!

On Vacation!!!

While the dead girls broke flat out even last week, I'll be on vacation for the next two. Thank god! I need a break from it all! Do you realize I haven't stopped blogging for any longer than a day since I started this thing? I think it's time for a breather!

So during my away time this blog will be silent. No posts, no memes, no reviews. I will not be reading review copies of anything while I'm on vacation. Why? Because it's vacation. I'm going to take a crack at the rest of my pile while I can. I can't wait.

And when I come back I get to deal with the joys of moving. Yay! It's going to be a hectic next couple of months, that's for sure. I will have one blog post scheduled for the first of October but other than that, I'm not going to post anything until I get back the first weekend of October. Yes. It's a long vacation. I didn't take one last year. I need it.

So adios for now! I shall return.
