I'm Kind of a Big Deal. Just FYI.

It's Been A Hard Day's Night

I just finished a 20 hour workday involving lots of flying, errand running, and general doggie hijinks.

I started in the desert and 7am and then flew to San Diego. For the past few days people keep commenting that I look tired or I look hungry, etc, etc and I generally don't feel what they are describing me as. I find it generally frustrating as I don't want to appear worn when I still have a bundle of energy. I try to convey this, but it seems to fall on deaf ears. Today I didn't wear much make-up, just mascara. My boss thought I looked like I was crying and the housekeeper agreed. What is this? I was fine!! Am I just generally tired, hungry and sad looking without the aid of of poof of powder and a schmear of blush?? This just makes me sad. I am like the ugly duckling who just wants to be the kick ass swan who not only can, but looks ready, to handle any given situation. Top item on my grocery list...some form of miracle eye cream. Any suggestions??

Then we fly to my hometown of San Diego. Flying over downtown skyscrapers and the beauty of SD broke my heart a little bit, and driving past where I used to live almost brought a tear to my eye, which certainly couldn't happen after the morning catastrophe!

I ran around all day between La Jolla, Point Loma and Hillcrest. La Estancia, upscale dog boutiques, costco, The Brigantine, some quaint mediterranean bistro, etc. etc. etc.  I finally had a moment to meet up with my long lost Hillcrest loves when I had to run to the Hillcrest Whole Foods to buy some Sigg water bottles for my boss, which are apparently a hot commodity because there aren't many left at the La Jolla or Hillcrest Whole Foods. Anyway, called the Hillcrest locals, but alas, they were all busy going to dinner at Sushi Deli. Sigh and a little jealousy running through my lonely veins. What I would give for a shauna roll (minus the cream cheese of course!) and a seaweed salad!! But, I understand. Sushi Deli does involve a long wait and some pretty strict rules too...so can't be mad just v. v. sad. Anyway stayed in SD til midnightish. Stopped at In and Out first, which is a stressful, busy day ritual. I was told I would have to find something I could eat there because it is a total ritual. I settled on some yummy fries. Mmmm...

Anyhow, flew out of Palomar Airport, which was purdy cool. Got into Idaho around 3:30am. Got to the house a little after 4am. Unpacked the car and then logged on to my computer to check on my long lost loves and update ya'll. 

Get to sleep in til noon after a crazy 20 hour day. Yay!! Then I think tomorrow is supposed to be kinda kick back...double yay. Maybe I will explore Idaho!!!

Dude, again, very sorry. I wanted to see you so bad. =-(
And I am sure you look beautiful without blush. People are just worried about you adjusting, so they're probably projecting what they think you should look like/feel on to you.
What's Sigg water? I am so curious now.
And I'll look into the Thai Crystal deodorant. =-p
Have fun exploring your own private Idaho!

People tell me I look like I'm crying all the time. It runs in the family.

Now go eat some fucking meat. It will provide the energy and charisma that you desire. Afterall, we are omnivores. Look at Chuck Norris or the Governator.

Hail Satan. I miss you lots.........even though I never saw you, but I still miss you. Patching holes in your walls in your empty apartment at 2:00 in the morning made me sad. :(

I know of a couple non-hillcrest friends that would have been available, but it's cool. We eat meat and we just aren't cool enough. I get it. I agree with your brother, eat some meat! Or a least some cheese... fries don't consitute a healty diet. Perhaps you look so tired beacuse your lacking essential nutrients :)

I've been wondering... do you fly on a private jet or do y'all have to chill at the airport all day?

Miss you tons!

Wow!!!! Jeez...Christa. I was in Hillcrest for 10 min. It takes that long to drive there from La Mesa. You wouldn't have seen me.

Thanks for supporting my lifestyle choices too :(

You are out of the band!!
