On The Oilfield Road Again!

Here we go again.

ThatManILove has received a work assignment in the Bakken Shale in North Dakota. (Why doesn't my industry drill wells in Hawaii?)

So, Thanksgiving morning will find us flying to Denver to spend a couple of days together before he flies up to the beautiful land of North Dakota for his first gig. And it could become sort of his home away from home, like Pennsylvania did last year. One thing's good - he has his cold weather clothes from Pennsylvania. I think it snows in North Dakota!

We’re staying at the Magnolia Hotel Denver . The good thing about booking a hotel on Thanksgiving? They’re having a special! We’re staying in their top room for around $150 per night, and it’s a boutique hotel.

I LOVE it when we find deals like that. I'll post pix, I promise!

I’ll be back home Sunday night - a friend is keeping our dogs and housesitting - and all is well with my world.

Except it’s 10:30 p.m. and I’ve not packed a thing. And our flight is at 7:30 a.m.

Such is mi vida loca!

Happy Thanksgiving, y’all!

And...happy trails, until we meet again!

Tired Saleswoman Needs Spa Treatment

I''m tired.

I've walked all over Downtown Denver the last two days, and my feet hurt. AND I was wearing high-dollar Mephisto sandals, which they advertise are for "comfortable walking"...ha!

I'm in dire need of a luxurious spa experience.

On another less whiny note, I called ThatManILove. We just recently realized we'd not been anywhere without our kids or friends in years. And it hit me this afternoon - he just finished his well work (pray for more!) and he's actually loose tomorrow. I suggested he meet me somewhere for the weekend.

I'm in Denver. He's in Midland.

Suggestions, anyone? We can fly anywhere, as long as we're home Sunday evening.

Hurry up, I gotta make flight arrangments!!!

While you're thinking, go meet My Bestest Friend Suzan - yup, the one in Pennsylvania I blog about all the time. She started a blog - woohoo! She's so funny, it's gonna be great to see what she does with the blog!

Rocky Mountain Bound!

Sometimes I have to leave the house wayyyyy too early - the birds aren't even out!

Early morning Wednesday was one of those days. I had to catch a 6 a.m. flight to Denver to go run the streets with Young Whippersnapper Salesman. (I sincerely hope it's not a rerun like that post!) It will be fun, he’s a joy to be around. And I love his family. Round Robin with YWS's beautiful wife and 4 beautiful munchkins will most certainly be in the works!

I love Denver, it’s beautiful. There are a lot of neat things to do (when your husband’s along, mine won’t be!) and the weather is mostly lovely.

The high will be 86, and the low 61.

I love it.

See y’all on Friday! (And I’m posting ahead a little, so I’ll still meet my 30 day challenge! By the way, if any of y’all are going to join me on the 30 day posting challenge, let me know and I’ll link you.) My brother Scott has decided to join me, so y'all go visit (I notice he's posted very flatteringly about me on his most recent post!)

Happy Trails, Y'all, Until We Meet Again! (As That Other Janie Girl would say!)

ps - Keith Urban is in town and I don't have tickets. Waaaahhhhh. And...Three Doors Down is at the Fillmore and I don't have tickets. Waaaah some more. Guess I'll just have to make do with "America's Got Talent".

pps - I don't even know what's going on with these fonts. Sorry!
