.:] Its been a while... [:.

since I've bitched about being home. Dad's cooking something mighty smelly. And Annoying Auntie Pena is screeching something in the backround. Its been awhile since I've had to use my head phones but on they are at full blast - some French pop tunes. Basically I haven't been home the last few weeks. ANd then its off to Jackson Hole on Sunday!

This has been the only morning, I've had to myself in a long while. Even so, I'd been running errands for the Jackson Hole trip.

I'm having very conflicted feeling about the trip. I'm sorta sad that its right when its getting to the swing of things at work. (BIG PARTY @ North and Sheffield on March 4th - More later!). I'm afraid a big reason why I didn't make Floss! is b/c I miss the entire first week of rehearsal. { a little blue-eyed bird said I was in but a lack of a phone call tells me otherwise. Sorry Kitty..} I'm concerned that I haven't any massages scheduled so far. I'm concerned, as I always am before a massage, that I won't be good enough. I'm introducing different therapies too that I haven't used on anyone past friends and family so I'm nervous about that too.

But this will be a good experience. It with good friends I haven't had quality time to hang out with. Even some I haven't talked to in forever. I'll get to practice in a semi-professional way and hopefully get good feedback. I'm bringing notes to study too. So its almost a working and studying vaction. I'm certainly going to take advantage of the manor we will be settling in for the week. I WILL get my snowboard lessons and a day or two on the slopes but as everyone knows I'm horrid with the cold. Luckily I picked up an affordable mask and Hedds sent me her ski gear via Matt who'd visited her in LA last weekend. I'll finally be able to handle the snow...

I mean to finally pick up DaVinci Code and finish that while in JH. Nana claims I will really get wrapped up in it. She wants me to read it b/c she has some art history questions I should be able to answer, etc.

Hmmm... funny, I haven't even had a chance to write in my journal for these past few weeks and I'm aching for it. Journaling and sketching too! I'll have so much to do for this vacation!
