THE TIME HAS COME, THE WALRUS SAID

to talk of many things. Yet, sadly, there are not too many things to talk about right now as my daily schedule for the last couple of weeks has consisted of the following:

• Tossing & turning each & every restless, sleepless night.
• Trying to decide if the Chihuahuas known as Mango & JuJu are either: a) The worst-behaved dogs in the world, or b) The cutest dogs in the world.
• Drinking potent cups of coffee laced with Drambuie.
• Eating a late lunch/early dinner at one of Newport's many fine restaurants (Canyon Way, Rookie's Bar, Aar's, Saffron Salmon, Kum Yon, Sada's Sushi Bar).
• Napping after above meal.
• Reading, doing crossword puzzles and/or watching TV/DVDs in between above activities.
• Being sad, depressed & cranky at all times.
• Whining & bitching about how much I don't want to be back while my parents try to humor me.
• Drinking all my dad's wine.
• Repeat.

Flying home to NYC this afternoon with very mixed emotions. I'll be happy to revisit my closets and get back to the gym, my to-do list is massive and . . . that's about it right now.

Wish me safe travels!
