Scrapping my travels and dreaming of Crush Monkey

What is the most money you'd ever spend on a concert ticket?

Ok, so to see U2 at Slane Castle in Ireland in 2001 I had to book through a tour company that only sold the concert tickets as a package deal that included airfare and hotel.

Does that count?!  LOL

Would I do it again?!  In a second!!

Woo hoooooooo!  Bono's BD is 5/10!  Happy B-day to my fave lead singer!  LOL

Ahhhhhh.  A week ago I was still in the glorious 85 degree weather of the Bahamas!!

Vacation was wonderful.  Took alot of photos!  These are some of my favorite ones:

This was my view that I woke up to every day.  It looked like this every day too for a week.  Well, except Wednesday when it was raining until about 11am...but then SUNSHINE!

My drink of choice.  The strawberry daiquiri.  YUM!  I also had a few Kalik beers too and lots of water!

Tropical Drink

The Atlantis property was gorgeous.  Lots of sea creatures close by to check out.  The turtles were so big...but graceful in a way, and the rays were cool to watch circle in huge packs!

I love seashells!  So of course this roof caught my eye!

There were lots of beautiful tropical flowers all around too!

All in all it was a very relaxing week!!!

I would go back in a minute!!!

So, back in February of this year my Cube moved over a row.  With my new location came a new soothing look!

This is what my cube looked like in 2007. 

But now here it is in all it's beauty!  LOL!!!

Yes...that is fabric up on my walls!

Has anyone ever done something so horrible to you that "I'm sorry" couldn't fix it?

Yes.

Yes, it's true.  I am listening to more mellow fellow music that was shared with me...

Looks like the mellow fellow playlist on my iTunes is expanding.  LOL!

I Saw........by Matt Nathanson

And it's amazing

With the look in your eyes

Like you could save me

But you won't even try

And then you tell me again

How everything will be alright

And if I told you

That I'm sorry

Would you tell me that you were wrong

Or would you hold me down forever

If I came to you for answers

And I saw

Pictures in my head

And I swear I saw you opening up, again

Cuz I would be heavenly

if baby you'd just rescue me, now

And I'm surrounded

You spill

All alive and brand new

And I'll forget about you long enough

To forget why I need to

And I saw

Pictures in my head

And I swear I saw you opening up again

Cuz I would be heavenly if

Baby you'd just rescue me now

The days are

Drifting away from me

I still wake up

Burning through everything

And It's all I know

Somebody save me now

And I saw

Pictures in my head

But I swear I saw you opening up again

Cuz I would be heavenly if

Baby you'd just rescue me now

Ohhhh

Pictures in my head

I saw you opening up again

Cuz I would be heavenly if

Baby you'd just rescue me now

What is with the weather here?!!

I left sunny Paradise Island, Bahamas yesterday at about 1:30.  It was 85 degrees and gorgeous!!

The pilot joked that the weather in Boston was similar to what the day was like in the Bahamas EXCEPT that it was raining and coolish.

COOLISH?!?!!?  When I stepped outside of Logan Airport it was so cold I could see my breath!  WTF?!?!?

Vacation was PERFECT!!  The Atlantis was beautiful !! Each day was warm and sunny and relaxing!

More to come after I do some laundry....

It's only 44 degrees here right now.  BRRRRRR!

All my bags are packed ....I'm ready to go!

Well, except my carry-on!

Tomorrow morning at 9:05 am I am departing Boston for Paradise Island in the Bahamas!!

Be back in a week!

Wahooooooo!

Some thoughts on Thursday night TV.

Ugly Betty.   When are Betty and Gio going to become a couple?!  I like them as a couple sooooo much better than Betty and Henry!

Best quote of tonights episode comes from Claire Meade:  'I'm so sorry, I try to keep up the appearance that I never use the bathroom.  I hope you won't think less of me.'

LOL!!

Grey's Anatomy.  Derk and Rose are dating?!  This can't be serious.  Who wants to see McDreamy with anyone BUT Meredith?!  Come on!!  

Worst bedside manners goes to Meredith Grey when she checks a bear attacks patients eyes only to find he can't see her fingers and shouts:  Tumor!  

The Office.  Ryan, oh Ryan.  See what happens when you can't deal with Bright Lights and Big City!?  Yikes!

Funniest moment:  Michael's peanut butter scalp massage!!!!!!!  Bwa hahahahhaha!

Yup.  I feel devious today.

It's like I have devil horns protruding from the top of my head!!!

Can't stop myself either.  LOL!!!

It feels good sometimes!

Devious:  Subtle, cunning, crafty, artful, sly.
