Always Anna

Coming back from vacation is never a fun thing.  Who wants to be back in the real world after they’ve been lucky enough to spend four sunny days in Miami?

Not me.

But here I sit, surrounded by work that threatens to overwhelm me.  I need to breathe deeply, keep moving, and remember all the fun things that Miami provided to me:

• Tons of laughter with Alexis & Alison
• Beautiful sunny skies, which allowed me to lie on the beach and revel in the warmth
• Wonderful food, which was totally worth putting on 5 pounds for
• Gorgeous art deco architecture, including the historic Park Central where we stayed Friday & Saturday nights
• Great people-watching on the beach, in the clubs and bars, and in the hotels
• The fabulous and fun outdoor bar at Delano, where I got to see Drew Barrymore & Justin Long (love them!), Jeremy Shockey (hate him, but loved yelling that I wanted to kick him in the kneecaps), and Ty Pennington (who I had a crush on back in his Trading Spaces days)
• A fabulous stay at the Mandarin Oriental (on Sunday & Monday night), where we got upgraded to a fabulous suite that was bigger than my apartment
• An exciting spotting of Jennifer Aniston (apparently in town filming Marley & Me) and Renee Zellwegger (filming for her upcoming movie, Chilled in Miami)

Vacation was great.  But now I’m back to my regularly scheduled working and blogging (and, of course, watching ANTM and PR finale tonight)… check ya later!
