Rosetta Stone: keep trying, but memorize that Baby Mandarin pamphlet for back up - one of my besties Margarita reminded me this week that love is the universal language so I quit trying to learn Chinese.  Do you have a BFF that encourages you to quit stuff?  You should get one - so liberating!  (Love you Parge!)

And it's only 1:15 am!  Woot!  I fully expected to be packing until 45 minutes or so before our 4:15 a.m. alarm.  This leaves me with three excruciating hours of insomniatic (yes, i'm quite certain i made that word up too) restlessness.  I mean, who are we kidding?  Peaceful sleep ain't happenin' tonight folks.

But I'll go in there and try, just for grins.
