California Here I Come!!!!

Squee!!! I am so excited.  Yes, I knew it was pretty much a done deal, but it is now official.  I am a third time winner of Circle of Excellence.  This is an awards program through my company.  As one of the top sales people in the company I get an all expense paid trip to San Diego, California.

It may sound ridiculous, but I am more excited about this than when they sent me to Hawaii!  After 38 years I get to go to the zoo!  Okay, everyone, all have your laugh.  The last time I was at the zoo my mother was 7 months pregnant with me.  My paternal grandparents lived within driving distance of the Portland Zoo and every time I asked to go they would drag out the slides of my mother being pregnant at the zoo and say, "why you have already been there?"  I think the view was a little obstructed.  I have always wanted to go to the zoo and now I get the zoo and Sea World in one trip!

Little Beloved you are not the only one bouncing in your seat.

Hooray! Congratulations!

I love zoos, too, so I totally get it.

Darn - does that mean I have to take #1 to the opera? She bounced like a loon through the last act of Nabucco in the Arena in Verona, and I could barely stay seated.

I'm really pleased for you!

LOL!!! *bounces even more* Well done, you! I'm very happy for you. :) Have a great time. I LOVE the zoo (Dublin Zoo rocks!) and we went to Sea World Orlando in May - it was BRILL. You'll have a ball.
