The worst thing about coming back from a really great vacation is that you're no longer on vacation.
The best thing about it is you get to go on and on about how fabulous it was, and make people jealous when they ask to see your pictures. Now, I know you didn't ask, but just for the record, my pictures are here. Don't be jealous. They're not that good. But, they do represent almost a week's worth of wonderful memories that, had you asked two months ago, I would not have expected I would have at this point. I've spent the last 30 days gushing about my five days in London to anyone who will listen. Frankly, it feels like it was a dream, and I need to keep looking at the pictures to remind myself I was actually there.
And, even though I've been back to the daily grind for a month, August has gone shockingly quickly. Sure, part of that was because we had a couple of really hectic weeks at work. But the rest was just the fact that it took me much too long to recover from an unknown illness and I just don't remember what happened in the first half of the month.
Of course, the month wound down with a bang. Last night's Emmy Awards was a great showcase for new talent. First-time host Jimmy Fallon got things off to a rousing start with the kids from Glee, plus Nina Dobrev, Tina Fey, Jorge Garcia, Jon Hamm, Randy Jackson, Jane Lynch, Joel McHale and everyone's go-to gal these days, Betty White. Watch the opening here. The rest of the ceremony went quickly, but there wasn't anything to match the magic of the starter.
And so, I leave you to head off into September. Make it a great one!
