randomly snarky - … suzie austin’s personal blog

… just taking a little vacation from life. A very nice one. And thinking I will use Comic-Con as a reason to start blogging again. Excellent excuse for you to pick on my geekdom as well. And my sunburn.

Slept in. Hung around the house. Dozed. Picnic lunch. Came in out of the rain. Thirty minute nap. Drinks, dinner, conversation. Twenty minute nap. Stretched out and stared at the TV. Bed soon.

No wonder cats are so damned content.

Great weather, good food, shopping, and beach time. Seven leisurely days with my Floridian peeps. It’s good to be home again.

Vacation was long, lovely and relaxing. I’m still quite mellow after kissing friends goodbye, arriving home, running errands, unpacking, and catching up on email, photos and social spaces. Conan is fine but hasn’t stopped talking. He apparently had an adventurous two weeks with Nicole. I haven’t truly tackled work email yet, I’ll save that special activity for the office tomorrow.

Missed you Bloggy, friends and passerby. XOXO

Alright kids, I’m out of here. Vacation has arrived! I may or may not blog over the next two weeks. I’m leaning towards "not" but the ocean, fresh air and… huh? See you in a week or two!

(And if you don’t know the shorthand, the post title means: Out of the office, be back soon, talk to you later!) 

Top 10 gripes of summer travel:
1. Packing enough – but not too much – for two weeks
2. Helping someone pack who’s back home… 800 miles away
3. Keeping an eye on the luggage… hoping it travels with us
4. Unpacking when we arrive
5. Not having enough hangers or drawers to fully unpack
6. Re-packing at the end of vacation
7. Finding room to pack all the new stuff
8. Buying a new carry-on to hold extra items
9. Slowly unpacking for three days once I’m home
10. Doing it all over again the following week for another two-week trip!

Note the theme? But, as mom would say, we should all have such worries.

Vacation ~minus 4 days and counting.
