Lean mean snot machine

That would be me. Chuck very kindly shared the cold he caught last week with me, and I’ve been snorting around the house since yesterday. I’ve been overloading myself with Airborne and zinc because we leave Sunday for Cabo San Lucas! Yay! Five days of fun in the sun (hopefully there will sun, anyway). It’s my BFF Cheryl’s 50th birthday (and if she’s turning 50 that means my number is coming up pretty soon), so she decided to have a big celebration. She rented a really fancy-schmancy place called the Villa Del Sol for herself and a few of her closest friends (hey, thanks!) where I plan on luxuriating by the pool and generally vegetating. The photo you see here is looking out over the villa’s pool toward the beach and ocean beyond. Whoa!

My big crisis: to take my laptop or not. While the villa doesn’t have broadband Internet access, my bet is there’s plenty of wireless in the area. On the other hand, it would probably be good to go computer-less for a few days. Hmmm. But then I couldn’t download new songs or TV shows from iTunes. Or upload pics to Flickr. Or research weird bits of trivia on the IMDB. Or look at the latest videos on YouTube.

Uh-oh. Can you say pathetic Internet junkie?
