Hotlanta

I'm back from my conference in Atlanta and am loathing to get back into the daily routine of work. It is an exhausting conference, but I sqeezed in some fun. Here's the fun:

Thursday
Went to STRAITS restaurant in Atlanta, owned by Ludacris. I'm so hip. Not. It was very tasty and I met a new friend from DC.

Friday
Toured CNN. Awesome, awesome tour. Did not see Anderson Cooper, however saw many other CNN "celebs." Might have been on HLN, as I was interviewed, but I didn't have all afternoon to watch tv.

Saturday
Nookie Day! She's everything I'd hoped she'd be. :-) Mr. Nookie is also charming and yes, he's a hottie as many of you have noted. We went to lunch, walked Piedmont Park, and sipped some Starbuck's. They were great hosts! Best of all-there are pictures.

I'm glad you had a good time in Hotlanta! I used to watch a lot of CNN but lately I have 24 hr news fatigue - so if you were on I missed it!

For future reference, you are supposed to post pics that get big when we click on them - all the better to admire Mr Nookie's hotness.

Wah....I miss Nookie. Tell us more about how she's doing. I'm glad that you had a good trip.

I tried to post bigger pics, but couldn't. Boo!

Nookie is doing very well. Her green card is expiring next year, so she has to decide whether to renew or apply for citizenship. Otherwise their jobs are going well and they are loving their house and pets. Mr. Nookie is working on his pilots license. I told him he'd then have to cart her to see all her long lost friends. :-)

Agree with Swami about bigger pics!

Yay!!! Your pictures are too small for me to see anything. I'm glad you met Nookie. I adore her.

There, you whiners. :-)

As my grand-daddy used to say "squeaky wheel gets the mouse". What can I say - he was not great with sayings. :)

Much better! And all of you are beautiful.

Thanks; makes me miss her even more.

Yay to peep meets!

Yup, he's hot.

On CNN there used to be a talking head named Lynne Russell. She now sells real estate in Toronto and occasionally plays host on talk radio.

She always reminded me of Peg Bundy.
