Vacation
I'm quite excited for Jackson Hole. And it's easy to tell because it's all I can think of while I'm twiddling my thumbs at work. In fact, I started packing last night (Wednesday) even though I don't leave until Friday afternoon. I'm taking my big suitcase, which always makes me feel excessive. It's a bit of a Catch-22 because my small suitcase never quite fits enough clothes for a week-long trip that requires formal, casual, cool-weather, AND warm-weather clothes plus appropriate shoes. But the BIG suitcase is just that... gigantic. And of course I feel like I can keep putting things into it because since I have so much space, I might as well bring more things! This doesn't foster good packing habits. Oh well.

We've got a lot of stuff on the roster. First, off, this is where we're staying. So that should tell you a bit about the rest of the trip. Justin and I get in tomorrow night after meeting in Salt Lake City. It looks like we're going hiking on Saturday, rafting on Sunday, for a private guided tour of Grand Teton/ Yellowstone National Parks on Sunday, playing golf and/or tennis on Monday, and so on and so on, with country club lunches and lodge dinners interspersed. It's seriously gonna rock my yuppie socks off. Justin's grandpa's 90th birthday celebration is Tuesday evening at the Four Seasons, for which I'm wearing my bridesmaid's dress (in black)-- I ought to get some use out of it!

Whee whee whee, I am excited. Blah blah blah, I am bored... now I'll go find some other entertaining drama on the internet. Something like... hmm... this.
