About 563 things have happened to me and every time I go to blog them I remember I was supposed to be doing something else entirely and forget.  Like how I went to San Diego to see Joelle and we had a blast, and a cocktail party, and I met bloggers I have “known” online for a long time and finally got to hug them (Hi Daniel and Richard!) in person without little *’s hanging around.  Or how I got a chance to see some other people I haven’t seen in a while like Becky and Y (oh how I just love her ...see?).  I got to meet a few other people who I have heard many wonderful things about, so it was nice to put faces to names and share in some mutual laughs.  And of course, Mikey and Domo got some hugs.  Or about how Joelle and I actually got a chance to sit down, in a nice martini bar and drink proper martinis instead of showing each other over a webcam what we’re drinking.

And there was the hangover we won’t speak of.  But bottom line, I love my friends and miss them terribly. I wish someone would get on that whole teleporting thing already. 

So now, I am home, with a nice little cold I got from the trip home (thank you 23B for coughing all over me).  Time to get back to work and back to monitoring the National Hurricane Center.  *groan*
