So I am 8 days behind on blogging... what can I say, it was a great trip. And my laundry still isn't done. Best part: tie between the following - I slept like the dead, AND I was randomly upgraded to business class on the return trip, and it seriously felt like I had just won the lottery. (I'm lame like that & get excited over little luxuries.) Drank a ton. Ate amazeballs Indian food on Brick Lane, and also found this kebab place that I swear is putting opiates into its food! Had a great visit with my soon-to-be-involuntarily divorced BFF, with the no good very bad cheating gambling addict ex who she is still in love with more than a little bit. I think she is going to be just fine. She has made some very sweet friends - all non-UK foreigners who have totally been looking out for her.
We rode the trains to various UK locales including my new fave, Bath. Johnny Depp has a place there - duh of course he does, because there is something very unique about the town that I can't quite put my finger on. I also got to see that week's ep of "Mad Men." Unlike my other TV addiction, "True Blood," it is possible for folks in the UK to download episodes of the current season. Speaking of "Mad Men," I watched last night's ep with DS, who started repeating a phrase angrily-uttered by Peggy Olsen: "Your problem is not my problem!" Which is kind of funny to hear coming out of the little dude's mouth. Also a good reminder that perhaps young folks should not be watching this kind of programming with their moms.
I need to catch up on my blog reading now, so comments will be coming your way soon. Thanks for stopping by. More substantive posts soon once I deal with the fucking laundry etc.

I was wondering where you'd been since you got back. :) Glad it was a good trip and I'm still incredibly jealous of your kid-free week where you could sleep and eat on your own schedule. If there's just one thing I really miss the most about life pre-kids, it's travel. Good food and drink in new amazing places... ahhhhh, I miss you.
Oh wow - an upgrade!!! How awesome! Sounds like a great trip. I hear you about the fucking laundry though. The worst part of travel is coming home to piles of washing.
Welcome home!
I love Bath, too.
When we were on our "big trip", we checked in at the Bangkok counter of Air Thai for our flight to Beijing. The woman behind the counter frowned and said "there is a problem." We thought "uh-oh...." But then she said, "I will upgrade you to business class!" It was delightful.
Welcome home, Hushie Pie (that's a keeper, by the way). Glad you had a good trip. Happy laundering.
Welcome back! Sounds like a great time. I can't wait to hear how hubby survived while you were gone... they did survive, didn't they? ;-)
Ah, sleeping in and a nice flight back. That does sound like heaven.
I personally love that DS watches Mad Men with you since I've been toying with the idea of making Flipping Out an alternative to one more episode of Max and Ruby...
