Atlanta

I'm leaving on Thursday for a seminar in Atlanta for 4 days and 4 nights.  I don't think I have spent more than 10 or 12 hours away from Penn since he was born.  I could handle one night, but 4?  Maybe if I was going on a real vacation it would be easier to handle.  I'm going to a seminar for my last exam and I couldn't be more thrilled.  28 hours of lecture.  Two words:  pancake butt. 

You would think I could get motivated to study and pass this one considering it is my last and hopefully final exam of my career, but nope.  I. cannot. get. motivated.  To make matters worse, this is speeding up the weaning process.  I've been told to take it slow or you risk a horomonal freak out... this trip might end up being more interesting than I initially expected.  Sorry coworkers!

Previous IKEA excitement

I thought a shopping trip to Ikea with guilt-free birthday money to blow might make the separation anxiety more bearable, but the seminar is in Marietta AND it lasts until 8 pm.  And... I don't really "need" anything from IKEA, but that hasn't stopped me before. Luckily there is an H&M and a Chipotle near our hotel.  Woohoo!  Gonna be a wild and crazy weekend!

 I'll be headed straight for these.  Image via cocowire.

Okay, maybe these too.  Image via cocowire.
