The countdown to Cancun has officially begun

Actually, that countdown began with our actually buying plane tickets, I suppose, but you know what I mean.

Things that must be done before we depart? At least a million, and about half of those are non-negotiably must do's.

Patience I have with anyone who smilingly assumes I'll be able to handle yet another 'awesome big idea' before I go? None.

Reasons why Cancun represents an opportunity to regroup, sans wireless? Duh. It's Mexico.

In case you forgot how beautiful it will be there:


Reasons why I can't wait to get the hell out of here? If you've been reading my blog, you already know. If not, know this - if it were possible for a few months to be any more insane, emotional, stressful or just plain ri.fucking.diculous, I'd be terribly surprised.

And at this point, not much surprises me.

It's been a minute

Oh, what a summer it's been! Heat, the likes of which we have never seen seems to be enveloping the planet. They told us this would happen, and it is.  Now what? Is it time to think underground bunkers? To really explore moon colonies? To continue, on an individual basis to do what we feel we can to help the greater effort? We bought a hybrid two years ago. We'll probably buy an electric car once we feel like the infrastructure is in place, but right now, it's not.  We recycle. Glass ( WHO is drinking all of that wine?! I ask myself each time I toss the bottles into the big bin.). Food. We compost all but animal products, and use it in the garden.  Cardboard/cans/plastics go in the recycle bin each Tuesday. My husband thinks the whole recycle thing is a big scam, and that all of the recycling and trash gets taken to the same place - the dump - because there isn't adequate staffing to sort and really carry out the recycle process.  I feel this is a cynical view, but ...

Funny walking and smoke

I've become one of those walking women I used to make fun of. You know the ones I mean, they walk fast and they pump their arms in what, from the outside, appears to be an exaggerated way. I'm one of them. Old knees have forced me to become a funny walker. But I have to say, after three days of just walking? I'm feeling like I'm doing something, not just compromising. That funny arm pumpy thing, multiplied by a million, which feels like the number of steps I take in my 3 mile morning walk, seems to work the arms and get the heart rate up a bit. But the smoke from the wildfires in Arizona? Killing us. All of us. Everyone here has headaches and stingy eyes and we're all a little more on edge than usual. Even for a Tuesday in a week with no holidays.

Practical glamour

This week, well, is gonna be a humdinger. Why? 1. Trade show. In Vegas. 2. Road trip for fam, but not me because, see #1. 3. Planning 4. Packing 5. Work deliverables. Really. In a week of a trade show. Right?  And, true to form, my Inner Goddess decides to run the fashion show so instead of being satisfied with black capris and my logo polos at the show? I'm going to wear grownup clothes. And hopefully feel like a grownup. With maybe a little style. Outfits for show include: 1. Little black dress, metallic black and gold reptile (distressed) leather sandals with medium heel, pounded gold jewelry. 2.Black and white sleeveless dress with a rounded neck and a form fit. Wearing emerald earrings with that. And cute but comfy low heeled black sandals.  3. Chiffon-y soft toned sleeveless blouse (with a large rose print that looks surprisingly pretty) with scoopy neck, black capris, black platform Bass sandals and big silver loop earrings. Other outfits to ta...
