If you need the 411 on Athens or you just want to see some familiar faces talking about Athens, check this out. Thanks L.o.L for the heads up.

The boy was out of town this past weekend picking up his new car. It is lovely and very fun to ride in. I enjoyed a lot of me time (no offense to the boy). I did a lot of reading, shopping, sleeping, and movie watching along with logging some seriously quality time with the dog.

I head to Park City, Utah this weekend for a conference. I have been approaching this weekend and beginning of next week as an all expense paid trip thanks to the university and the USDA. I envisioned pool side afternoons and long hikes in the mountains until a few days ago the hammer came crashing down and one of the bosses decided that I need to pull together a poster and be ready to pitch our project to the USDA and anyone else at the conference that shows interest. A little heads up would have been nice. Now I am nervous about the trip. Me and the good ol' boys in the mountains. Should be interesting. Wish me luck. I plan to avoid post conference cocktails mainly because I am afraid after a glass or two of wine and one inappropriate comment about me from my office mate and things are going to get ugly.
