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

The Start of Something New

So here I am...second day on the job. I love it. I love, love, love it! Granted I haven't gotten to do much yet, but the opportunity to work with such kind, friendly, loving and dynamic people is beyond believable to me. 

I've been told of all these incredible places I will be going in the next few months and even though I know I will be working like crazy, I am so excited.

Can I tell you the first big thing I had to do when arriving in Idaho? I had to drive a gynormo truck in this town I am unfamiliar with. Let me tell you, it ain't no Yaris.  When I told them all about how small my beloved Eggbert is...they said get used to it. Apparently, I will be driving all sorts of things. God help us all.

Anyway, I cannot express how much I miss everyone...and Peet's. Although, there was a Peet's in the Palm Desert airport this morning. Oh yeah, Palm Springs was 120 degrees when I left this morning. Ridiculous! And then I flew to Salt Lake City for a layover. I was fascinated by this woman who had her son on a leash. He was everywhere. And she would pull that little spunky punk so hard and he would go flying. Not sure how humane that is at all...made me feel really bad for all the doggies who get pulled on :( It also solidified that fact that children are more fun to look at than to actually have :)

Back to the missing. I do miss you all tons. But, I am sooooo stoked that Vans finally got more minutes and Verizon! We totally chatted over a Disney channel movie last night. She likes the Jonas brother who doesn't wear tight pants...oh wait! They all do!! So are they like the new 'Nsync or what? Makes me chuckle at Tina and I and spending a fortune on those concerts. Then I think about how she was swooning for Justin and how I was ga ga over some older boy who served us ice cream beforehand. Totally invited us to a kegger. Oh, Ty you sexy beast! I think some teenier boppers tried to fight us over him too. Ohhh to be seventeen again.

I will try to keep in touch as much as possible. There will probably be stories of my misadventures driving a hummer. I'm a little afraid they will make me drive in England or somewhere that involves the other side of the street. If you know me, my coordination and sense of direction...you know this is bad news bears! And speaking of London, there are totally roundabouts in Palm Desert. I just don't know about that!!

With all these big cars and weird streets, I can't help but wonder, would it be inappropriate to hum the Indiana Jones song while driving a Hummer? Especially if other people are in the car?
Miss you all! Hugs and kisses!

I disallow driving of Hummers in any context. Although I advocate humming in all contexts. So I am torn as to the solution to your conundrum.

I am glad you like it so much! I am super excited to hear of all your (mis)adventures.

There was a lack of beautiful baristas when I was at Peet's this morning so I have nothing to report in that regard.

Love and kisses and hugs and cupcakes.
