Pics from Puerto Vallarta

I want to post these so everyone will see one of my Man-Cub's favorite places in PV:
Yes, the office for a sport fishing business, Master Baiter's.
Check them out here.

Seriously, the guy inside was really nice. They do only tours, NO TIME SHARES.

burned candle at both ends, now extinguished

All of the non-stop activity of the past 6 months has finally worn me down. The cold I had developed in PV turned into bronchitis and I have been benched by it! I have tried to keep going, but after feeling worse than pond-scum on Thursday, I finally went to the doctor yesterday.
He took one look at me and said "this has wiped you out!" He wasn't even my regular MD, one of the associates (but so delightfully kind and sweet!) So now, rest, fluids (not tequila), antibiotics. I am not feeling better yet, but maybe by tomorrow!

Hubby and I are finalizing a presentation for a friend this weekend. At least I can do the PowerPoint stuff in my pjs! When we met with him Thursday night, he loved what we had come up with! Now we are tweaking. It is great to get positive feedback from a friend and client.

what's been going on

Just random musings:

Heard on the radio that Heath Ledger was found dead in NYC today. So sad, so talented.

The political season seems to be hitting its stride, mud is beginning to be slung. I wish the candidates would refrain from telling us what not to like about their opponents and just tell us what they want to do for us.

Yesterday was supposed be the gloomiest day of the year based on a strange mathematical formula relating to the time since Christmas, the low amount of sunlight and the arrival of holiday credit card bills. January 21 is supposed to have the highest number of suicides.

If I can get through tomorrow, then I have Project Runway to look forward to! All the designers are starting to crack in one way or another. I know how it feels! I am faced by creative demands, impossible budgets and an overwhelming excess of administrative B******T to do! I just focus on the limited design time I have and try to make my patterns count.

I have been working on my scrapbook of our PV trip. With every photo I print, I remember additional details. This may have been the best trip I've taken (so far!).

I really want to go to India. I have been so in love with the colors, foods, culture and people for so long. I think it will require 2 weeks. I need to research this. And make it happen.

Yep, this is the best way to cope with the gloomy gray days of January: fantasize about the saffron yellow, tangerine orange and glowing pink of India! Namaste!

Cool little quiz

Here's a cool quiz to match you up to one of the current presidential candidates QUIZ. You can see my results on the left. Interesting!
Well the snow came and went. We are now awaiting more. I am looking forward to spring!

Winter blahs, and it's not even February yet!

I am trying to dig out cute pictures to keep myself from diving under the covers to wait out winter. The adorable pup seen here is my brother's, her name is Zuni. She is so sweet, and very smart.
Today has been a true winter day: dull, gray light, sound muffled by the growing cloud cover, my staff playing Chicken Little about the possible snow! I do not know which I hate more: the weather people hyping up the possibility, my staff all aflutter about the possibility or dealing with the white stuff itself. I believe it would be better if the weather was just accepted for what it is, rather than something to guess and speculate on. "Hot enough for ye?" "We shore do need the rain!" Weather, we can talk about it but have no control over it!
At least it is Wednesday. One day closer to the weekend. Man-cub is coming home Friday. He will breeze in Friday around 6. Sleep til noon. Hang out with his friends. We need to get some groceries!
