I was just in the airplane bathroom (no, this is not about poop) when I noticed the lovely wallpaper.
I think my questions are obvious:
1) There is wallpaper in the airplane lavatories? I have to pay $25 per bag and six bucks for a shitty sandwich and United is spending money on wallpapering the restrooms? What the hell?
2) Who is small enough to fit in there and wallpaper the place? Are there children performing this task? Is Twiggy working for the airlines? 
3) Somebody is actually in charge for buying the wallpaper for airplane. Someone gets paid to do this. Weird.
4) Number three wasn’t really a question at all was it?
5) If I weren’t a blogger would I spend significantly less time pondering airplane restrooms? Or would I just bother my husband with this sort of nonsense?
6) Wait – but I am a blogger. Can I write this flight off now that I’ve written this?
7) This is exactly the sort of crap that is preventing me from getting a book deal, isn’t it?

We are also eating amazing food and drinking incredible wine.
I’d say I wished you were here, but it is really nice to have it just be the two of us for the first time since the children were born.

I choose to be in denial for one more day. I’m not thinking about Kindergarten starting Tuesday, I am thinking about my anniversary trip in October.
I’ve got some nice meals to look forward to. We’ve secured reservations at The French Laundry, Mustards and Cyrus.
Now, who has recommendations for a place to stay in Healdsburg or Sonoma or Calistoga?
I’ve got my Napa days pretty well planned out, but what non-Napa vineyards/wineries are not to be missed? Consider yourself my AAA.
Not to be confused with my AA, you can be that when we get home.

1) There is a thing called Puerto Rican Day.
2) It was yesterday.
3) Puerto Rican Day has a parade.
4) You can buy at least three different styles of tube dresses that say either “Puerto Rico” or “I heart Puerto Rico” on them.
5) Normal people should not wear tube dresses.

Believe it or not there is a television in the bathroom mirror at my hotel.

Does this seem unusual to anyone else? I mean you can’t really see this mirror from the shower and I don’t use the toilet THAT much. I guess it would be convenient during The Super Bowl but the rest of the time… superfluous.
(I know, it isn’t really a good picture of me OR Chris. Okay, yeah, it is a worse picture of him, but I don’t have all day to stand around taking pictures of my bathroom mirror when I’m on vacation. And yes, I do watch ESPN everytime I get the remote control.)
