finished 02.16.11
Read this before we left for Hawaii, actually finished reading it on the first leg of our flights, because it’s mostly set in Hawaii. The characters were interesting enough to keep me reading, but I didn’t love it. That’s two strikes for Moore (I didn’t care much for her book Whiteness of Bones) so I probably won’t read more from her.
Last night Anjum and Aimee (and Garrett and Eric for a while) took me out for some after work drinks to wish me bon voyage and best wishes on the wedding. We were going to get wine and cheese like we did when I got engaged, but the place we wanted to go to didn’t open early enough. So we ended up just going next door to Moe’s Cantina, which is just fine for after-work drinks, but I heard gets extra douchey later at night.
Most people were drinking red sangria, but since I’d just been to the dentist to get my teeth cleaned a few hours earlier, I stuck with the clear liquors and drank caipirinhas and margaritas. We also figured we needed to do a shot. I suggested SoCo and lime, which is my new favorite shot, since Josh got it for us last weekend.
Just a few days to go now. Lots of errands to run this weekend and a few loose ends to tidy up. Packing Monday/Tuesday and then we’re off!

I can’t tell you how much I hated this ad that I had to walk past at least twice a day! Luckily it’s been replaced with something else now.
