An aside

The Florence recap may take a while. I didn't realize that we did so much while we were there! I may have to break up this city's recap over more than one post. And my wonderful husband took so many great photos, which are taking me a while to sort through and caption on Flickr. I've been working on it since I got home three hours ago.

In the meantime, I have some other thoughts to share about present-day life.

- I came back from vacation to find that my company had given out company-wide raises. Ain't nothing wrong with that!

- There's some sort of bubonic plague eradicating my co-workers. I'm heavily armed with Emergen-C and Lysol. I'm just recovering from jet lag, I don't need more health issues.

- Ever since returning to the U.S., I've been having the biggest cravings for eggs. I have egg whites for breakfast almost every day because I like the protein they provide and they're pretty low-cal. I only had two eggs while we were on vacation, and apparently my body is on a mission to make up for lost time.

- I've slowly been catching up on the massive quantities of television shows I recorded, but the only ones I were eager to watch were The Office episodes. I'm contemplating cutting back my tv consumption, seeing as how I seem to be doing fine without Grey's, Desperate Housewives and a bunch of the new shows that I was interested in.

- Brent is trying out a local figure drawing class tonight. He took classes in college and wants to get back into it. I dropped him off because the class is in our neighborhood but has extremely limited parking. I just received some emails from him, via his Blackberry. The first said, "This is so f*cking weird!" I replied and offered to come get him. He replied, "Ok. It got better. Apparently it was just the model break. I thought they were going to chain the doors and everybody was going to remove their human skins." I love that man.

"He loves me so and it all suits me fine. That funny, sunny, honey hubby of mine." - Funny Hunny, Chicago
