the rambling fanatic

My parents and I drove in from our week long west Texas/ New Mexico/Colorado vacation about two hours ago. I need to catch up on tons of things online but for right now I'm going to check up on my email, get ready to do my share of the laundry and sort through all my photographs. I'll be sharing a few later on because the landscape was absolutely breathtaking. We saw mountains! Actual mountains and we even went to the top of Pikes Peak.

Drove back from Austin last night. High temperature records were shattered the four days I was there and my workshop was in a poorly air-conditioned room. We were packed in there like sardines but it was highly informative. Although, I was dangerously close to Information overload, lol.

I got a hair cut while there and I reworked portions of my Tracy fic (Thanks brightknightie!) so I did manage to be somewhat productive in between my sessions and hanging out in the city.

However, it looks like I'm hitting the road once more later this week. Dad asked if I'd be interested in sharing driving duties with him on a road trip through west Texas, New Mexico and Colorado. It's going to be a week-long family thing with two of my uncles and their families. I've never taken vacation time at work so why not. Although, now I have to rethink whether or not I'll be attending my college roommate's wedding in Mexico later this summer. I don't know if I want to take two weeks off of work, even if they are two months apart.

Oh! I received my cliche_bingo  card and several of my guilty pleasures are in strategic places. Yay!
