Kudos, my friend. I’m glad that I’m not the only self-respecting adult female that admits to watching The Hills. Kudos, my friend.

Of course the view of my backyard doesn't sound nearly as tempting as your current locale!

I never feel like I get enough done when I work from home, but I am so glad that I have the option. I'm about to demand (yes, I no longer ask) a new schedule now that D is going to preschool three days a week. I love (and hate) working from home.

(Although I'd love to see that beautiful beach photo!) It's very nice to have the option of telecommuting, but it's not always what it cracks up to be. I telecommute from home half the week and love it. I still go in to the office four mornings a week, which gives me enough face time with co-workers. Plus, I like to get dressed in something other than sweats and ratty old t-shirts! I hear ya. (Although I’d love to see that beautiful beach photo!)
