I find myself with a lot of airline credit expiring this spring, racked up from last year’s travel nightmares. With a few days left to spend it all, I wonder, what are your favourite cities to spend a weekend in?
Booking travel is a lot like refinancing your mortgage. There is this impending cloud of stress hovering about as your fret over whether to buy now or wait and see if the rates drop. I wish there was a Farecast for mortgages, however.
I have the coolest friends ever, which means I end up with the coolest weekends ever. Really, you guys spoil me. Last weekend was spent with a small group celebrating Micah’s birthday in a beautiful riverside cabin on Hood Canal.
And this weekend? I’m hanging out with my lindy hopping crew. A group of twenty two (TWENTY TWO!!?) of us are renting out a huge log cabin in Leavenworth.
Ah, December. Full of rain and snow and win.

This is serious business. If you happen to visit The Battle Station (my home away from office) please do not feed the wildlife (that is, Faye, my little feline companion). The vet has informed me that Faye needs to drop a pound in order to be at the target weight of 10.5 pounds, otherwise she’s tempting the onset of kitty diabetes. So, Fayzer Deja Wallender is on her first ever diet.
Oh lordy, I’ve become one of those people who blog about their cat. But what can I say? I adore the little fuzzball.
Look how tiny she used to be! (No elf ear comments, please.)
In the last four years, we’ve grown up together. I think our most recent picture needs a LOLcat caption:
Winner gets a special souvenier from my upcoming Caribbean adventure (which is in – holy moly – a mere 5 days!!).
