6. its a holiday here...we're all off work
which is too funny considering I'm in the reddest state in the Union. Utah. It's the mormon holiday. Everyone here camps out on the streets the night of the 23rd to watch the 24th parade.

Us? We just drink.


more.

14. Wierd.
As a single parent I can never afford days off that aren't emergencies. But I did get to watch it at my desk, I thought that was a positive

12. I picked a really great week to be on vacation.
We were out of town on Monday and Tuesday. I took the whole week off mostly because of the use-if-or-lose-it rule, and my boss likes it better if I don't save it all for December. I still have 4 more sewing days left.

Wow - Obama today, impeachment tomorrow!
