Finally home. :)

Mark & I got home very LATE yesterday evening (it was nearly midnight when we walked through the door)... and after 24 hours of traveling and waiting in airports we both were SO happy to see our house (messy as it may be) and our fuzzy dog! :) Sydney seemed to be a little confused when we picked her up from the in laws' last night - she wandered around the back seat of the car all the way home in a bit of a daze. She perked up and became a lot more affectionate once we got home, though. Poor thing was really out of sorts the whole evening - we must've gotten her up from a pretty deep sleep at the in-laws...

Work was surprisingly okay... and even more surprising was the fact that I was able to stay up and function the whole day on only a couple of hours of sleep (and I actually remembered all my passwords AND the combination to the vault this time - WOO HOO!). ;) Hopefully the week will be a relatively quiet one because I'm not sure how long I can go on just running on pure adrenaline... :P

In some great news, I came home to a wonderful Bets email telling me that she was cast in "Pilgrim" - Nick's new show in LA (and incidentally the show I thought would be perfect for Kevin!) :) I haven't heard any other casting news regarding that show, but I'm still hopeful. What a wonderful thing it would be to have both Kevin and Bets in an open ended show in LA. :D And in semi-related news, after reading the audition notice for this show, I have SO much more to say... but I think I'll have to save it for a locked entry a little later...

In other website news, I received a call from one of my former co-workers who expressed an interest in my web designing... She wanted me to look over the website for her husband's portrait studio and possibly see if I might be able to help them with it. :) I took a look today and I think there's a lot that I could offer them, for A LOT less than they're paying right now. I'm rather excited about the possibility. :)

I'm off to get some serious sleep before I actually fall asleep on the keyboard writing this entry... I hope you all have a nice evening! *HUGS*

Current Mood: sleepy

SO sleepy!!!

As much as I love traveling, you're completely right - I really love returning home to my own house and fuzzy dog. :) Glad you had a wonderful day, Sue! :)

I'm glad you guys are back safe and sound! That's great about the website thing. So many people don't think about website design when they create a business or run a club (or anything), and it comes back to haunt them later. Good web designers like you can be hard to track down!

Stay awake today! :)

Awwww! That's so sweet of you to say, Rachel! I hoe I'll be able to help her... She's spending WAAAY too much for what she's getting and I'm hoping I can cut her costs down considerably. :)

Hanna! I've added you - thanks so much for stopping by my journal. I think I've spoken with you before about Angela in Millie... In fact, I tried to email you back with a review of her performance, but my email back to you got rejected. :( Glad to see you here on LJ. :)

Indeed, we´ve spoken before and I was very suprised to read you at LJ when typing in Angela as an interest. :-) OH, don´t know why I didn´t receive your email, too. It had been really nice of you. Still having your review? :-) Unfortunately I had to give up my website but I still would love to read it. TTYL Hanna

I'm glad you two made it home safe and sound. :)

When I read about Sydney wandering around the back seat, I could actually picture it in my mind thinking awww, poor little Sydney.

I bet you'll do a really great job on that website. You're so talented! They couldn't have asked a better person. :D

I hope you can get some sleep. That's the one thing about traveling I'm not real fond of. I never feel rested enough the next few days back.

Thanks, Carrie! Poor Sydney was a little disoriented as we were bringing her home. She's a lot better today, but was really mad at us when we left for work on Tuesday - she didn't even eat her food! :(

Thanks for your kind words about the site. :) I'm hoping I'll be able to help her out and save her some money. She's paying way too much right now for what she's getting.

And I'm slowly catching up on all my sleep (much to Sydney's dismay!) ;)

Welcome back, Sheri. :)

I'm glad that you both safely reached your home and that work was okay. :) And yes, I too think that your former co-worker found the right person for their website. I'm sure you will do a great work.

Hope you could find some sleep.

Big *hugs* to you, Sheri. :)

Thanks so much Sabine! Sorry I couldn't answer your comment earlier, I was responding to comments this morning when I realized that I was late for work! :( I do think I need some serious sleep...

Big *HUGS* to you, Sabine!! :D

Thanks, Stacey! And I think I'd better get some sleep -- I'm growing much too old to be handling all this traveling on very little sleep! ;)

You're so lucky to see all these play from Kevin all the time. I'm glad you guys are home and Sydney is very happy again.

I'm so excited to be going to LA to see Kevin's next show. :) He wasn't there on this past trip to NYC though. Even if he wasn't - we had a wonderful theatre-filled trip! :)

It's always hard to go to work right after you're on vacation. You feel like you're in a completely different 'mode' - I never feel ready to face the real world again right away...especially when I've been in NYC. :)

Congrats on the news about the website! Sounds like a great project, and I'm sure you'd do a wonderful job.

I totally felt like I was in a different mode all week! :( thank goodness it's almost the weekend! I think I'm getting way too old to keep traveling like this. :P

Thanks for your good thoughts on the website, Karen! I just hope I'll be able to save her some money. :)
