Oh man, I never want to leave town again. NYC is great and I love my family, but nothing feels better than sleeping in your own bed. I slept from midnight to 11am, which I NEVER get to do. No shower is better than your own shower. I have tons of laundry to wash, groceries to obtain, and I also need to do some serious cuddling with Desmond, my cat, who seemed to actually remember me.

I returned to 25 pages of unread emails. Of the 559 emails I just deleted, 398 were spam. Lovely. The others were mostly mailing list things (I really need to unsubscribe myself from things like Target.com and Bluefly) and work-related emails. I will get to your Local Band Submissions and Email Tara questions when I fully return to work on Tuesday.

I ate everything in sight, which is what you’re supposed to do when you’re on vacation. Now that I’m home, I’m on a serious diet. No more pizza, no more bagels, no more Chinese dumplings at 10pm. Back to reality for sure.

And I couldn’t be happier about it!!!

At first, it’s kind of cool having a tropical storm named after you.  Once that tropical storm turns in to a hurricane, starts killing people and has the potential of reaching a category 3 storm and threatening New Orleans, it’s no longer cool…
