Pain in the neck 2

The massage was wonderful. I still am have the pain in my neck but it feels so much better today.

I’m headed out the door for a holiday with my best friend. We’re going to the Amish country in Holmes County, Ohio.

Pain in the neck

A few years ago Mr. Aitch gave me a certificate for a massage.

I kept forgetting to call for an appointment.  I have had a knot in my neck for about 10 days. I’m going on a holiday with my best friend tomorrow and I don’t want to deal with this pain in my neck.

So I called and made an appointment for a massage.

This afternoon.

At 2:00.

Because that’s the only time they had open.

I’ll be leaving work early.

Because I deserve it.

Goodbye pain in the neck.

New Orleans – Can we come back?

I attended a conference in New Orleans the week before the Super Bowl.

NO-sign

We had a great time though I was stuck inside most of the time.

I’ve learned in the past that I can’t concentrate on knitting on an airplane.  I managed to knit an Olive Oil Drip Catcher at the airport but that’s all the knitting I did.

And I don’t even have a photo of it!

Our hotel was on the corner of Canal and Bourbon streets.

We were a block away from the 49er’s hotel.

We saw the Mighty Mississippi.

Walked down Bourbon Street.  Some buildings were all decked out in Mardi Gras colors.

Mr. Aitch sampled local beers.

Beads?  Yes, we got beads.  I won’t tell you how we got them.  I wouldn’t want to disappoint anyone.  =)

We ate jambalaya, crawdads, Po Boys, shrimp roumalade, hush puppies…
