Perfect Weekend Getaway

Seeing as how the thesis is pretty much completed, I decided to join David on a work trip this weekend:

Each trip I have taken over the past two years prior to this point has been infiltrated in some way shape or form by pending assignments. Tuesday was a hallmark date for me as I completed my final presentation in my Ethics class as well as getting my thesis pretty much approved. Basically, what that means is aside from attending class the next two weeks, graduate school is finished! As a personal hurrah, we ended up going to Palm Desert late Thursday night for a 3 day sun fest. Well, I went for a three day sun fest. David was working on Friday filming LCD Soundsystem at Coachella for his documentary, so Friday was all mine. It was spent primarily by the pool drinking Daquiris. My evening consisted of lounging on one of the most comfortable beds to date watching some movies, most notably 'My Best Friend's Wedding'. I don't know why, but I will always be a sucker for the "Say a Little Prayer" dinner sing-a-long:

Saturday was even better. Fantastic poolside brunch followed by a trip to the Wheel Inn, home of the dinosaurs featured in Pee-Wee's Big Adventure. No looming assignments. Just the sun overhead.......



P.S. Graduation....you will be mine.
