From Inside the Inbox

Is it just me, or does anyone else get satisfaction from have all of your email messages read with nothing pending your attention? Or maybe it’s more like glee than satisfaction. The sad thing, I hate deleting mail. I always think that I just might need something, oh, I don’t know, in a year or so. Thank god you can search so easily with gmail.

Of course, I also like to be organized (now there’s a surprise I’m sure) and have about 10 folders going at any one time. Now if I could only get all my filters to work exactly the way I want them to. Then I’d be in email heaven.

I’m Leaving on a Jet Plane…

And while I know when I’ll be back again, I might not remember everything. Ah…wine country! Should be a blast and most definitely needed.

Here it is, shortly after midnight and yes, we did indeed just finish packing. Mind you, I had things pretty much pre-packed (and I was packed) I was just waiting on the hubby to put in his two cents. I have no desire to be *that* kind of wife that packs for my husband. Instead, I pre-pack and then nag until he finishes. Much better, right?

I might be stopping by with the occasional post or picture, but I can’t make any promises. I mean, if I can walk away from my website for a week, I shouldn’t have to feel obligated to keep up with a blog with a whole 9 or so readers, right?

Now if only I could pull the hubby away from his computer. Yes, it’s the eve of our vacation and he’ll be up late again working. The good news, the first two nights he’ll won’t have internet access outside of what his crackberry might pick up. So maybe he’ll relax after all.

Cheers!
