Westward Ho! (Who You Callin' a Ho?)

Weather permitting, I'll be winging my way to Utah this afternoon (Thursday). 

On My To-Do List:

• Hug Anne.  Search for good-looking guys named Jeff that we can do together for old time's sake.  (Get on that, will ya, Anne?)  Meet Digger!
  
• Buy Blessed Juno soap; hug Laurie
• Catch up on old times with Kim.  Hug.
• Send full report to Sandy and Cookie on the four bathrooms.
• Hug Margene, hug Smith, hug Moxie
• Aw, fuck it.  Hugs all around.  I don't need to list everybody, do I?
• Eat at Silver Fork Lodge; gain five more pounds
• Drink tea with Marcia (Well, maybe not.  The TSA confiscated her tea. hahahaha)
• Exchange lawyer jokes with Susan
• Behold Margene's Mountain:
• 
• Eat fry sauce
• See Great Salt Lake
• See Park City (Sadly I don't have 36 hours to spend there)
• Stalk Heather Armstrong?  (Nah, she's got enough trouble. She doesn't need a nutso Vermonter stalking her. But it would be fun, wouldn't it?)
  
• Take a ride in Isela's new car
• Try on one of Mim's shawls (Get well quick, Mim, so we can see each other Saturday!)
  
• Possibly experience a SLC valley inversion (this is, I'm told, nothing like a yoga inversion)
• Meet several as-yet-unknown Utahns
• Knit, knit, knit
• Mail mittens to Rachel
• Eat, drink, shop, and be merry.

As of the time I'm writing this, I have not yet started packing.  Yes, I know -- I'd better get on that.  I'm debating whether I'm going to bring the laptop. On the one hand, it's one more thing to carry.  On the other hand, if I'm stuck in an airport for any length of time, I might like to be connected to the outside world.  Well, you know:  Wherein "outside world" is defined as The Blogs. I've got some easy knitting lined up to take, and the book on CD, and new comfy boots. I should be all set.

See you on the other side.

Have a terrific time. Take lots of pix!

[Teresa C]

Take the laptop, we want daily blog posts, dontcha know.

Safe travel and have a wicked pissah time. (Be sure to say that when you are out there, the Utahns love it for some reason. Just ask Carole.)

I just can't get over the 4 bathrooms. :D
Don't forget to let me out of your suitcase. xoxo
I wish wonders for you. LX

[Kathy]

Have a blast with those Utah grrls!

[Manise]

Have a fantabulous time Norma! Do take the laptop- if you're flying via Boston you'll need it. Quite a bit of snow will be falling this afternoon.

[Carole]

I hope the weather doesn't interfere with your plans! Have a blast and while you're hugging all those people, hug 'em for me, too. Enjoy MY room, too.

[Paula]

Safe journey. Hugs for all. Have fun. Tell us all about it!

[margene]

OMG, we'll never sleep. Bring the list and we'll start checking it off!

[Marcia Cooke]

My TSA guy was oddly disappointed to find tea in that tin....I guess they thought they finally had a terrorist...and just threw it aside in disgust when he realized it was TEA. So, you can have a cup of tea, for sure! Glad you got that little piece from the Times...shall I book a bobsled for after lunch? Safe flight!

[Cheryl]

Have a wonderful trip! And take a lot of pictures with the new camera! I love picutres.

[Wendy]

You find the best boots... I want a pair.
Safe Travels, maybe you will jump over all the snow we are going to get today.

[Miriam]

*covet* Now I WANT REALLY COMFY BOOTS!

So far so good, a bit easily tired, but I'm taking Elderberry supplement and vitamins and drinking lots of water and I think I may win out without really getting sick! woot! See you soon!

[Kathleen]

I wanna see you eating trout at the silver fork. have a fab time!!

[Vicki]

Fingers crossed for you, Norma!
What's this all of a sudden with the four bathrooms? I've never heard of four bathrooms before! At Margene's?

[Cheryl S.]

I hope to be one of the "as-yet-unknowns". Have a safe trip! There's a little snow coming, so hopefully no inversion!

[susan]

See you tomorrow, Norma.
We'll have a wicked pissah time!

[Shanti]

I love Utah at this time of year. One of the best Christmases I had was when we were snowed in and unable to go anywhere except on skis.

Bring the laptop so we can hear about your adventures in real time!

[Tracey]

Leave the gun...take the laptop. Have a marvelous trip dear.

[Kim]

Can't wait to see you, sweetpea. Travel safe! xoxo

[Cookie]

Have a fabulous safe trip and hug the grrls for me! And find out is Moxie really does have his own bathroom. ♥

[claudia]

Um. Good luck with that Thurs PM travel thing. Don't come to Boston!!

[Katherine]

Nope, no inversion this weekend. Storm's a-blowin' in. I'm so glad I'm not out on the GSL today (Monday I was trying to not fall off the back deck of the boat in a big storm right in the middle of the lake. I don't recommend that type of introduction.)

If you do make it to the lake shore, I'd love to come along. I can nauseate you with loads (and loads. and loads) of info about it. I do work there, after all.

[Mia]

Have fun. And when you get back, you can tell us if East Coast cold is colder than Utah cold.

[scoutj]

Wave to me as you fly over New Mexico. Well through Colorado! Hug all of those peeps I know from me too okay??? HAVE FUN!
