First Day of the Show....

So far I have spent lots of money, eaten lots of free food (plus overpriced, underfresh cafeteria rot that shouldn't even be called food), and walked 8,134,945 miles without rest. Time to find a stiff drink, dinner and the pool.

In Toronto...

I managed to make it to Toronto, with only minimal stupidity. Like, say, forgetting my hotel confirmation at home and being convinced I was booked into the wrong hotel. Erm, no, it was the other hotel down the street.

Ah well, at least it made my boss feel better about forgetting things at work, and then at home, causing much driving around the city before we made it out on the road, so to speak. I managed to read both Knocked Out by my Nunga-Nunga's and Dancing in my Nuddy Pants on the drive here. I meant to bring along Angus, Thongs, and Full Frontal Snogging and On The Bright Side, I'm Now The Girlfriend of a Sex God along as well, but I read them yesterday. Good thing I brought more books just in case. Of course, now I keep wandering around thinking about nippy noodles and nuddy pants and adding "oid" to the end of every second word (how fabbity-fab-fab) but, what's a girl to do?

Find the nearest computer, of course. As soon as I booked into the right hotel (second time's the charm),
I dumped my bags and went out in search of the free internet service.

Well, duh.

So we are back from vacation...

Had a fabulous time. The weather was perfect, as was the company. The wee one was a big hit and delighted by the swing in the backyard just for her. Ate tons of excellent food and balanced it off by walking all over the city every day. The only sucky thing was our diaper bag being stolen, along with the digital camera it was holding, but these things happen. All in all, it was a wonderful vacation.

We are going to Vancouver - on Saturday...

Holy shit!

If anyone has any tips for keeping a one year old happy on a plane for five or so hours, let me know.

A Plea To All Torontonians...

If anyone wants a house guest from August 7-11 or thereabouts (might be a shorter trip) let me know. I *really* don't want to stay at a hotel near the airport. *shudders* At any rate, I'd love to hang out and catch up on the all the happening happenings while I'm in town. I'm doing the Toronto Gift Show, so I won't be around during the day, but my nights are pretty much free.

Happy Birthday!

Happy first birthday to my dearest Teagan!

Will post later - must go to work.

MMmmMmm... sugar in book form. Would have been even better if it involved a beach and umbrella drinks, instead of having to save every second page from a hungry 11 month old, but such is life.
