Just another bumming around weekend
Once again, I will reiterate that I LOVE my life! I don't think I have quit smiling since I got to San Diego, and this weekend was just another example of a great time! Why? It's because we did absolutely nothing that cost money- yet had more fun than if we had spent money. It all started off on Friday night when we (Jenny and I) were supposed to go out for happy hour with some guys we met the weekend before. However, since nobody was picking up there phones when I wanted them to, I decided to change happy hour from the local pub across the street to my roof. Yes, my roof became the official new Friday happy hour joint for several people this week. It was so much fun we decided to hang out there until 3 am staring a the beach, laughing, meeting my neighbors, and singing to whatever was on the stereo system on the roof. I can't wait to do it all over again! Although, hopefully next time it will be warmer. You see, a front came through that day and the marine layer hung around all day..... so my ski jackets and blankets were broken out to keep everyone warm. Not that I'm complaining a 60 degree night is bad, but when there is a whipping wind off the ocean it feels like it's 40.
Saturday: Saturday started off with breakfast in La Jolla with John (another new friend.) Ok, if anyone ever tells you Potatoe Cakes with apple sauce and cream cheese is good- don't listen!!! That is the nastiest crap I have ever eaten! The Potatoe cakes were fabtabulous though. After breakfast we ventured up to Mount Soledad- I highly recommend you check out this view if you have never seen it! You can see up and down the entire coast line, all of Coronado Island and beyond. After breakfast I headed out with Natalie and Jenny to the Adams Street Festival. This was so much fun! There were 6 different stages, an assortment of vendors selling stuff, food of all types galore (thai, chinese, Jamaican BBQ, corn dogs, kettle corn, and everything in between. ) So we definitely pigged out for both Saturday and Sunday on different food. But in the meantime we also caught lots of good acts.
I also have decided I'm going to start a page of : what were they thinking? on here. This weekend I have seen more people dressed ridiculous!! I even saw a man who looked like Jesus dancing next to me, an 70 year old grandma dressed up as a hooker, and much much more. So feel free to send me a picture if you see someone who should go on the :what are they thinking page!
(sorry pics will go up soon- I forgot my camera cord at home)
Then this morning before I headed to the Adam's Street Festival again I went to Balboa Park to see some friends who were working a 10K race. I still don't know how people have enough energy at 6 am to party much less run. Yes, these were the happiest people in the world! Plus there were some great bands playing... for free of course! I swear you definitely can get fed and entertained at the finish line of a running race! If you are broke, like most of us are, go to one of these and you will make out much better than when you started the day off.
So, as you can tell me and my firends have had a blast all weekend. I wish however, the week wasn't alreayd here I feel like I have been on the go!

A mid week update
I'm convinced getting up never gets easier! This week has been such a low key week of season premiers, friends coming to hang out on my couch, and a night out with the girls for dinner that it has made it almost impossible to get up in the mornings! But today was the worst of all days. First, I woke myself up in the middle of the night sleep talking..... not exactly sure why or what I was saying but I was sitting straight up in bed just jabbering away. So I went back to sleep and then the buzzing of my alarm began. I quickly jumped out of bed with the biggest grin across my face, dancing to the tunes on the radio, and planning my days lunch before I even decide on my outfit! Why?? Well, why else other than because it was Friday. The sucky part was it took me 30 minutes to realize it was only Thursday...BOOOOOO THAT SUCKED!
On another note, work has been going really well! It's still demanding and hard but I'm liking it! My boss pulled me in the other day and told me that I will become the Operations Director/ Operations Supervisor. Meaning, I get to monitor all of our projects, hire/ fire, maintain office meetings, and so much more! Exciting but scary in the same time. I have decided with this job I am going to approach it completely different from every other job. 1. This is work. I am here to work not be best friends and not to bash people. 2. Work is not a place to make friends. Yes, I like having friendships with the people I work with but since I'm in a supervising position it's difficult to be taken seriouse once you cross that line. 3. I have learned how to give creative critcism. 4. I'm sick of people's whining and bitching. If I have been able to do this over the years so can others. Shut up, suck it up, and get it done. 4. Coffee is my enemy- it doesn't wake me up it makes me drag for the entire day.
Well, Ugly Betty's premier is beginning.... Time to zone into the tv for the next 3 hours! If only I had sugar cookies or cookie dough I'd be in heaven!!!!

The first of manys
This week was so much fun! I have to say, I really have made alot of friends down here so far- it has been so easy too! Thursday night I decided to host my first dinner party. I made a big pan of Chicken spagetti, vegetables, and chocolate cake. Let's just say I have so much food left over I could feed a samll country! Then we all headed to the roof and hung out there for a little bit!
Yesterday I did something I never have done before- I went to an air show. Apparently the Redbull Airshow has been advertised all over the country because so many people called and asked if I was going. So me and my friend Jenny headed downtown amongst the other 40,000 spectators. All I can say is those planes are so fast!
Well, I have finally done it! I went out in PB last night with Jenny. Oh yea, Jenny is my new friend who moved here a week after me. She is from Martin TN- who woulda thought! So, we walked to the bars and checked out a little night life...... it was so much fun! We ended up at a bar called the Firehouse that is right on the beach. All I can say is I like drinking martinis overlooking the ocean. And yes, we met plenty of other transplants to the area at the bar!
Click on this picture below and it will show you a video of the airshow.

A little Tuesday Humor
The priest and the hairdryer
A distinguished young woman on a flight from Switzerland asked the
Priest beside her, "Father, may I ask a favor?" "Of course, what may I
do for you?" "Well, I bought an expensive woman's electronic hair dryer
for my mother's birthday that is un-opened and well over the Customs
limits, and I'm afraid they'll confiscate it. Is there any way you
could carry it through Customs for me, under your robes perhaps?
"I would love to help you, dear, but I must warn you: I will not lie."
"With your honest face, Father, no one will question you."
When they got to Customs, she let the priest go ahead of her.
The official asked, "Father, do you have anything to declare?"
"From the top of my head down to my waist, I have nothing "
The official thought this answer strange, so asked, "And what do you
have to declare from your waist to the floor?"
"I have a marvelous instrument designed to be used on a woman, but
which is, to date, unused." Roaring with laughter, the official said,
"Go ahead, Father. Next!"
