i've been spoiled the last few weeks. this week i spent 3 days in omaha at a conference for county officials (which was held about 2 miles from where my sister lives!!). last week i went to a security conference in lincoln on thursday. the week before was thanksgiving. so i've had 6 days off in the last 3 weeks without taking any vacation. (i've made up for some of it with longer days, but still, a day off is a day off!)

next week might be difficult as i have to work all 5 days. :)
