Arizona.
Well, I’ve finally made it to Arizona. Yesterday was a miserable day of traveling, I don’t want to talk about how annoying it was, but United Airlines sucks and being pregnant sucks and security checkpoints suck and $10 lunches on a frigging airplane suck.
Tomorrow I leave for San Diego. Yay! I am very excited. The weather isn’t going to be as swell as I hoped, but it is still san diego and it is still a super nice hotel and it is still four days with Marianne and after the stress of moving across the country I need a little bit of loafing. A lot bit actually.
I can’t believe we’re done with Boston. I can’t believe it. It still doesn’t feel real. It feels like I’ll be flying back in a week or so.
Also, for those of you on the edge of your seat, I have learned that Fox has renewed Arrested Development for another season. Couldn’t you just die with happiness?
May I be the first person to welcome you to Arizona.

The bottom half of the flag has the same Liberty blue as the United States flag. Since Arizona was the largest producer of copper in the nation, a copper star was placed in the flag’s center.

What kind of dogs run in Arizona?
I know – I know! ALL of the dogs!
I did not think all of the dogs run in Arizona but I have seen pictures. It is a possibility you are correct. But I think that some dogs must be elsewhere.
