I’m currently freezing cold in my hotel room, but outside of my window, it looks like yet another beautiful, sunny day in Salt Lake City! It’s our last day here and, to be honest, I could not be more relieved. While staying in a hotel can be fun, being in here nearly 24 hours a day for a week has just turned out to be a little much for me.
Actually, I think that the thing I like the least is eating out every night. Every once in a while is a nice treat, but every night has me feeling like I’m going to need to start walking when I get home to drop some extra weight. More than anything, though, I miss my sweet, fuzzy companion and bed-buddy, Phoebe. We saw a Pomeranian yesterday on the way to dinner. She was the same color as Phoebe, though about half the size, and being walked downtown. I just wanted to snatch her up and give her kisses galore!
We’re going to get out and about for a little bit today, which should be a nice way to end our stay here. Terry rented a car for the day and when he gets back from the conference around 2 PM, we’re going to take off for Ogden and the Shepherd’s Bush store! I’m going to try to refrain from buying too much, but I will try to remember to bring my camera with me so that I can take pictures to share with all of you. Can you believe he actually kept asking me if I wanted to go to Ogden? I think he just wanted an excuse to get out of the city, as well. Or he’s delirious. 😉
I may not post again until Sunday or so. Our flight leaves at 9 AM tomorrow, so we’ll have to be up outrageously early to catch a shuttle to the airport. We’ll get home after 4 PM, where Terry’s dad will pick us up from the airport, we’ll go back to his house to pack up Phoebe and then we’ll head home. I can’t wait to be home, even I’ll just be working on laundry and stitching on Barnabee’s Quest. It will just be nice to be back in the peace, quiet and comfort of my own home.
On the stitching front, I was unable to complete the one PIF gift that is nearly done because I didn’t bring any beading needles with me. Might see if I can pick one or two up at Shepherd’s Bush. I also started two new pieces with a third ready to start today. I started two copies of Alegria from Periphaeria Designs yesterday, finishing one last night and another one today. I think I’m going to start Kokopelli by Periphaeria Designs sometime today, as well. I was going to work on more PIF projects, but decided to have some fun just for me instead. I’ll share pictures when I get home, so watch out for some loaded posts in the near future! Oh, and please note that Alegria is a freebie that is now available with every purchase from One Star’s Light Needlework Supplies! This is an exclusive freebie available only at OSL. 😉
You seem to be quite fond of Periphaeria Designs? 8) (Can you see my ego bursting?)
And, could you tell your single friend where one can find a man like Terry?! Do they sell them somewhere or is there some tree where they grow in or…? 😆
I agree with Outi, that Terry is really remarkable. (Luckily, I got very lucky and landed a special fellow of my own!)
I can’t wait to see your pictures of Shepherd’s Bush. And to hear all about it. I hope you guys have so much fun! (Even if you have to eat out!) 😉
Woohoo, Shepherd’s Bush! You lucky girl. You and Terry have a great time today ! 😀
Have fun!! Would you belive I stayed in Ogden when I went to the USA 11 years ago but didn’t go to Shepherds bush? We went canyoning instead, which actually was heaps of fun.
Have a safe trip back. I hope you have fun today.
Hi Jenna! Gracious it’s been quite a while since I”ve written you! I’m so glad you are having some fun at Salt Lake City. It is a beautiful city at least. I can understand though your disgruntlement at staying in a hotel for a week. Hotels are fun but it is nice to get out and about too. I’m not a fan of eating out all the time either. I honestly don’t see how some do it, personally. Wow!! Shepard’s Bush store…how cool is that!!! LOL Don’t worry about buying too much, just have some fun. 🙂 Such a sweet Terry you have! 😀 Anyway, have safe travels on the way home.
*BIG hugs*

Oh, Jenna, I’m so glad you were able to get out to Shepherd’s Bush! I can’t wait to hear all about it. 🙂
Welcome home! Can’t wait to hear about your Friday Adventures. I’m sure Phoebe will be glad to see you. You’ll have to post photos of your stitching you’ve done. Sounds like you were very productive!
