Vacation Destination

It’s still cold here.

Bill had planned to take most of today off and hang out with me, but there was a board meeting at the office. He had to be around in the case of a “technology emergency” (cough) or more likely just to be seen. Sounds like he had a busy day, but it didn’t involve any of the board members. Oh well. I had planned to surprise him with a game of cribbage and one of the Lord of the Ring movies to celebrate a day off… I’m sort of lucky he had to work. (I dislike both of the above!)

I talked to my boss this morning and learned that I get to add another great adventure destination to my list for February. Yes, I will be spending my Valentine’s Day in the Romance Capitol of the World – BOISE, IDAHO! 😉 Luckily, Bill doesn’t do calendars, and as the perfect boy he has no clue when Valentine’s Day is. It’d be a tough break if we were a couple of romantics.

I got e-mails from a few great friends today. I do love hearing from you all! It’s certainly a bright part of my dark Alaskan days. On that note, we’re gaining about 6 1/2 minutes of light each day. This is kind of a fun time of year, because you really start to notice it.

April is making me seriously consider the need for an Easter trip down South. It would be a lot of fun to go somewhere with the fam. Dad, Ape, and I do have some fantastic Mexican memories – mine include a lot of churros. 😀 Anyway, all this talk of Laura’s cruise and Bill and Barb’s current trip to Maui has me itching for some sand and sun. Who knows, though, Boise may prove to be all the tropical paradise I need.

I am beginning to feel like Betty Crocker up here. Tonight I made chicken enchiladas; both the tortillas and the enchilada sauce were from scratch. I even packaged and froze the left over sauce for another meal. It is economical, but sometimes I think it’s all crazy. Anyway, the enchiladas were delicious.

And that’s my life.
