I miss my old blog.  I am going to keep using my old blog and stop on this one for a while.  

I guess I need to be saved again.  :-)

I'm sorry for disappearing for a couple weeks.  So many things have happened and I haven't had a chance to even open my laptop!

First off, can I just say it is hot as heck over here!!!!

If there was a fountain around me I would jump in it right this very second.  I WOULD I TELL YA!!

Has anyone ever done that before?  Just jumped in a fountain?  You know you want to!  One of these days, that's what I am going to do.  One that has a really cool statue in the middle with water shooting out of its mouth!

OK, sorry......off topic. 

So anyway, the whole mortuary thing wasn't working for me.  It was way too depressing.  Yeah, I know, it's a mortuary.  Duh.  But I thought it would be interesting.  I didn't think it would be depressing at all.  I don't know what I was thinking.  It would have been better if I was actually at the mortuary, but I had to call people up, convince them to meet with me, go out to their house and convince them to plan their funeral before they actually need it.  IN THIS ECONOMY!!

Yeah.  Didn't work out.  

I lasted one day. 

But the good news is that I am totally focused on writing the book and I am even working full time at a super unique bookstore as a floor manager.  I have already met three incredible authors!  This bookstore is like the one in San Francisco called City Lights, that publishes banned books and allows everyone a voice.  It is super popular and has the most incredible readings from authors that I love!  For me, this is a dream job.  Not to mention it is making me stay focused on the important things, like finishing this darn book before I get that senior discount at Denny's!!

I am running around all day long and don't have time to do anything all day.  I don't sit down at all and I swear I have burned a million calories in the week and a half I have worked there.  SO COOL!!  But man, am I pooped!

I will update more later.   I hope everyone out there is living their dreams and not just settling.  

Tell me.......what is YOUR dream job?

This is me at this very second sitting at Starbucks, trying to figure out how I am going to write the next chapter of this book!

I am going to work until a meeting I have at the bookstore I will be working with. I also leave at the BUTT CRACK of dawn tomorrow to go see my sister in Orange County.  And you know how I love to travel!!

I waited until the last second to book a flight and I can't believe it, they are all booked!  Now I have to drive for 7 hours!  Well, I guess it will be worth it to see her and my nephew.  If I don't fall asleep on the way down there!  I am not a very good long distance driver.  It's a good thing highway 5 has nothing on either side.  The worst thing that could happen is I run SMACK INTO A COW!!   

I will update more later.  

CIAO!!

Here are some photos of what I did today.  

Pam and I went to Sausalito and laughed for three straight hours.  

No make up on and hair pulled back like we were Amish!!

FUN TIMES!!  

We even exercised and after I went and got all healthy food at the grocery store.  I AM GOING TO LOSE THIS WEIGHT I TELL YA!!!

Be sure to read the captions and enjoy!!

It's been quite a week.  I went to Santa Cruz yesterday and did a little strawberry pickin'.  I will add the photos later.  

We also went to this great restaurant that you take a tram down to.  You go down the side of a mountain into the bottom of it.  SUPER COOL!

I will post everything in a little while.  

I am going to a spa in a little while.  I need the relaxation right now.  I will update the pictures when I get back.  

What do you have planned for today??

There has been some really horrible things that have happened in the last few days.  Terrible things that I just can't talk about.  

I have witnessed one of the worst things I can imagine happening.  I can't talk about it, but if you can please send prayers that my friend survives this, it would mean alot.  

I also downloaded the pictures from Monterey.  

It's really unbelievable how life works.  We go to Monterey and it was the absolute best weekend I have ever had.  Things couldn't get better than that weekend.  

I then come back floating on a cloud and my dog gets violently ill.  

He has Colitis and a torn meniscus.  They didn't know he had colitis so they gave him medication for the torn meniscus.  The medicine's side effects caused the colitis to be twice as bad and instead of getting better, he got much worse.  We thought he had a stroke.  He has been in a playpen and we have had to monitor him closely.  But he is doing better. 

Then my friend.  While Maui is super sick, this happens to her.  

This, no doubt, has been the worst week of my entire life.  

I am just so grateful I have my family and friends.  And you guys.  

So, anyways, sorry to be a downer.  I always try to stay very positive.  

So please enjoy the photos and videos.  Let the videos download completely before watching.  They are worth the wait.  Well, most of them are, anyway.

Thanks. 

My dog is really sick.  Please keep him in your thoughts.  

Will update more later.
