WHY AREN'T YOU HERE? an ode to my blog buddies

Chrissy - it's been 75 and breezy since we got here, and perfect weather for bike riding. Why aren't you here?

MofC - it's been 75 and breezy since we got here, and perfect conditions for you to tan your hiney. Why aren't you here?

Tim - it's been 75 and breezy since we got here, and the Bay 101 building shimmers like a magic palace off of 101. Why aren't you here?

Teddy - it's been 75 and breezy since we got here, and we live in front of the Santa Cruz Mts. foothills which are perfect for 4 wheeling in your new truck. Why aren't you here?

Pinf - it's been 75 and breezy since we got here, and we live down the street from Highways 1 and 9, which motorcycles dream about when they sleep. Why aren't you here?

Well, you could say I miss you guys, it's true. I just wish y'all lived in our neighborhood, and were enjoying what we are here in the golden state.

I can't believe we are heading into July of 2007!

I am now settled into the work routine, and I must say I am enjoying it. I love telling others what to do, and having minions to do my bidding, including getting me smokes and picking up my dry cleaning. I missed the power. I admit it. I love it.

I am approaching the job-thing differently this time. I am no longer "bringing my work home", also known as previously drowning axel in every detail of my day. It's all about akjn when I get home now. I am laughing alot more during the day, and pretty much causing the laughter to begin in the first place. I am taking it light...when employees are spewing TMI, I start the brain ipod and practice my Madonna moves in my head. I drop the F-bomb around the office about every third sentence - you can take the girl out of Philly, but not the Philly out of the girl. It's an excellent contrast to the pearls, pumps, bun and suit. No hose - this is CA for goodness sake! I pretty much don't care. Don't get me wrong, though. I bust it out in the office and take immense pride in my work, but now manage to do it with out all of the personal BS that used to drag me down. Amazingly, the staff is happy that I am back.

Well, off to BBQ in the backyard with the honeyman.
Feeling good about getting a post up...Beeb's buns snapped me out of my dryspell.

Good to see you bloggin again! We are going to work our way into the left coast trip by warming up with a little road trip to Saratoga next month! After that we should have our sea legs and be able to make a move farther west. I just booked my flights to Vegas for the week of Thanksgiving, too! Also, thank you for the coupies you sent me!
