In 13 days I will be hopping a plane to Albuquerque, New Mexico.

The next plane I hop on will be in Denver. Wacky huh? Ok so this is a big deal for me. I’ve never really travelled like this before. For most of my friends, travelling to different countries is routine, so I’m sure to them this is small potatoes.. but I am totally looking forward to it.

So lets see how far I am on my travel checklist. (Cause you’re just dying to know, I’m sure.)

.: Flight to NM. Flight to SF — CHECK!

.: 512mb CompactFlash card — CHECK!

.: 2nd Rechargable battery for 10d — CHECK!

.: Flippies, extra/new t-shirts — CHECK!

Just a few more items of clothes and figuring out what bills I need to pay before I leave and.. and… wow I think I’m set.

Of course… then there is the packing. Packing!

Oh damn. I gotta work on Amy’s Birthmas gift. For those that know what it is — yah it’s still the same. No progress since then. Tsk tsk to me.

Anywhoo. Boring entry I know.

Look for new photos on Sunday!

I’m convinced that the people upstairs play catch with an anvil.

.. and they’re really bad at it.

And with that, my spare time has been spent. Time to go back to work. Yay overtime!

Thanks to searching on Yahoo, I am able to unlock the secrets of my destiny.

So .. I typed in, “what is my destiny” and waited. I couldn’t believe my life was about to change!

Hmph.

Well, while Yahoo was out to lunch, I logged into Blogger to find a lovely greeting waiting for me. I (aka Frequent Blogger User #Gabillion And 1) was offered a chance to test out the wonder that is GMail! Google’s 1,000 megabyte webmail system.

Apparently my destiny was to use another web portal and find solitude and happiness with it’s experimental webmail service.

Poot to Mother Nature.

Thanks to the overcast/rainy day, Adam and I did not go to Bonfante Gardens.

We did not go to the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk.

We did not go to San Francisco.

Instead, we checked out a Wave magazine and tried to find a local event/show. We found the “Annual Iris Sale & Show” and figured we’d go and check those out as well as find new plants for the pots we have on the balcony. If anything, I’d have a lot of beautiful flowers to take photos of.

We got to the Regan’s Nursery, only to find there were no more irises left. At least I didn’t see one. We found two kinds of flowers we want to plant. One is called Gerbera and the other…. well I don’t know. But they’re cute little flowers, half bluish-purple, half white. Meanwhile, Stan (a shrub?) and the pale yellow daisies are still alive and kicking (thanks to Adam who waters them — I tend to forget and end up killing plants.)

Anyway, due to the sprinkling rain, I only have two photos to share. Check out the mushrooms and cool garden stones.
