Vacation Planning

So, obviously not keeping up with the plan to blog at least once a week. Work has been a little bit crazy. The woman who was the office manager person type got it into her head that I was hired to replace her (despite all protests to the contrary and new, higher-level assignments for her), so she gave notice today. It worked out pretty well for her, she'll still be part-time from home while she looks for another job that she likes better. It is unclear as to what my new duties will be.

In other news, we are planning our first "real" vacation. Our excursion will start in Vegas, where we'll spend a couple of days, at a casino of M's choosing, based on his Harrah's points. From there, we'll fly to SFO and drive out to wine country, spend a few days there, then drive back to San Francisco to visit all the friends that have settled out that away. Our couple-friends up here were going to come, but their own wedding plans and other commitments mean that they are going to wind up using all of their vacation days on those, and we'll have to make the trek on our own. Boo.

The New Year's Resolutions!

As everyone else has been releasing their New Year's resolutions, I thought that I should put some together, as well. Note that I hadn't finished putting them together when I started writing this, which is surprisingly similar to what happens every year at Lent.

1. Put the laundry away faster. It would be really nice to see the top of the dresser every once in a while (can I add this one to M's list, too)
2. Get back down to "wedding weight." Well, maybe not all the way to wedding weight, but maybe halfway through the "eating through Greece" tour, at least pre-New York weight. Not that I've put that much on, just more than I would like.
3. Blog more than once a week.
4. Keep up with the Thursday night emails with the b-school gals.
5. Call my grandparents more often.
6. Watch out for the nagging (that one is from M).
