On top of a full schedule of visiting friends and family I also worked quite a few days while home. I work with such a great group of people that it never really feels like "work" anyway :)

On one of my first days back then had a luck potluck in my honor with an AMAZING mexican fiesta.

At another event my friend Carolee (who came to visit me in Singapore) invited me to a Pajama Oscars party at her house which was great fun except for the minor fact that I had not seen most of the movies up for nomination. Which was just as well because I spent most of the evening chatting and catching up with friends.
