I should mention that while I'm having a great time out here in Cali, I do miss my lovely hubby very much. Though he's not quite all alone by the telly-phone (15-hour-plus days at work are keeping him quite occupied), he does have the most unpleasant task of coming home to an empty apartment each night. I know that's no fun, especially when he's usually welcomed by
homecooked meal made tirelessly by his loving wife! Or, realistically, a choice of takeout menus and maybe some cheese and crackers. Hey, it's something--right?

Absence is certainly making the heart grow fonder, and though I'm very happy to be here and to be heading Down Under, I'm looking forward to seeing Mark, my sisters, and NYC next week!
