Off I go again, leaving on a jet plane! I just returned from Los Angeles on Sunday (yes, four days ago!) after a week of family fun and Thanksgiving celebrations in Vegas, and here I am this afternoon turning right back around. It's the time of year for my company's annual sales meeting, + since we are Los Angeles-based, off I go back to the land of soy + honey.*
Even though the Griffmore Girls (for all you new readers, the Griffmore Girls is the nickname my two sisters, mom, + I call ourselves) will all be home in LA this weekend, I will be occupied with work events in the evenings tomorrow + Saturday, so will only get to see them for a few hours this evening. (I leave to return to Connecticut bright + squirrely on Sunday morning.) I'm even staying in a hotel near my office this trip, so no sleepovers at the Momma's, either! No worries though - I'll be back West in another two weeks for Christmas!! Ahh...most of my December spent in sunny Southern California. I won't complain.
Gosh, and on that note, I realized today is December 1. My how time flies!! New Year's is one month away...do you guys have any fun plans set to celebrate the arrival of 2012?!
*While getting coffee in LA last week, I requested soy milk from the barista. MPD semi-rolled his eyes at me, teasing that I don't need soy milk, but I do prefer it. My response: "MPD, apparently you have yet to learn that we are in the land of soy + honey." And then I laughed at my own joke, per usual. :)

Be careful in all that wind -- sure hope your plane can land at LAX. My parents say the wind speeds are higher than they've ever been before... I'm afraid my dog is going to blow away :) Have fun out there.. I'm totally jealous!!
Happy December 1st girl. And you should be fine landing over here...the winds are insane these days!!!! :(
yes, time really does fly!!! What is the deal!?
So you laughed at your own joke, but did the barrista? :-)
Lovin' you some LA recently, eh? Work trips hardly count as fun, but at least you get to see fam for a bit. Have a safe trip!
