I'll be in Indianapolis for work from the 25th-2nd, and I can't wait :D

(Although, it doesn't seem that there's much to do in Indy)

Pffffft.... I somehow let my father-in-law convince me to use a week of my vacation (in two parts) helping him open (spring) and close (fall) the cabin he owns/rents out.

So this year.. I have to work between Christmas and New Years... usually I take that week off.

Oh well... I like the free use of the cabin, so I may lose the week every year from now on... lol :)

Staying home for a week and enjoying not going to work. Between going to Vegas for my birthday last month and taking my son to Knott's Berry Farm this last weekend, I'm vacationed out for a while, especially since my ass has to drive. Just glad that the last time I flew was a couple of years before the no liquids on the plane insanity.
