Don't Drink the Water...

Adam and I are leaving for China! He was invited to speak at a conference there, and, the opportunistic girl I am, decided to go along. I never thought I'd see China and now we get to see two cities: Shanghai and Beijing. I am very nervous... I am a hermit by nature so leaving 'home' and the kitty for a while is hard. Also, I have never been in such a culturally different place - I cannot wait to feel what it feels like to physically, culturally, emotionally, and linguistically stand out. It's something probably everyone should feel in their life. I'll let y'all know how it goes : )

I'll send everyone some love from the Wall!

I suck at this game...

Whew.... so blogging isn't for me. Who knew.
For my next post, I'll share some pictures I've taken of my backyard regulars. Our apartment is positioned perfectly for optimal wildlife viewing... Neko is quite pleased.

So I bet I can manage to post more of these. We'll see.
