I just had the funniest thing happen to me. I walked into Wells Fargo to make a deposite for work. As I headed to join the queue an older gentlemen, hanging out in the corner of the office, waved his finger at me. "Come here" he motioned.
The guy had to be between 80-90 years old. Stooped over a cane, with suspenders on, and a little hat he reminded me of that old guy who plays chess at the beginning of Pixar movies (in the movie-ettes). Seeing as he looked harmless I walked over to him and leaned in close to hear what he was saying.
"You're the best looking woman I've seen all day!" He proclaimed.
"Geez, thank you, " I stammered. "What a nice, sweet old man," I thought to myself.
"BUT"....he continued,"...
...the day is still young!"
Ummm, "thanks"?????!!!!!

This is hysterical! My buddy Laura and i were sitting in the office hating on our jobs when RJ sent me this link (I'm not get savvy enough to post videos on my blog, so you'll need to cut and paste.) You have to listen to this guy. He is a Texan who isn't happy with Jimmy Dean Sausage's new packaging.

My job really could be SO much worse!

Check out the coupon code. My friend Rose works for Stewart+Brown and they have awesome clothes. They are a bit pricey but everything is organic and super cute and cozy. RJ got me a few pieces last year and I wear them ALL THE TIME.

I just have to give a shout-out to my two FAB friends Kelly and Sarah. Thank you girls for the most awesome weekend. Saturday at the spa was such a treat. My favorite was the Misting Room (but the Quiet Room was a close second).

For the first time ever I am not relishing in the extra hour of sleep the fall time change blesses us with...instead, I have been determined to use the time for personal enjoyment and my marathon training.
On Monday I did my house stuff early in the morning so I could attend a pilates class in the evening. It's been about two years since I did pilates and my abs are complaining about it. The class was wonderful though. I loved the atmosphere. For the first time I sat in a pilates class that didn't feel threatening. There were old men, young men, old ladies, young ladies, chubby people, thin people, flexible people, unbendable people (such as myself). It was FABULOUS! I didn't have a one bit of insecurity! (Except when the intructor keep reminding up to keep our hips stacked. "Make sure those hips stay stacked and your ribs are tucked in." I KNEW I had to be the one who's ribs wouldn't stay tucked!)
Yesterday I got up before 6AM (personal pat on the back) and I went on a great run along the beach. The surf was up and there were other happy moring people milling about with their dogs. I got home in time for a relaxing cup of coffee. How nice is was not gulpign down my coffee while blow-drying my hair and applying mascara.
Today I got up early enough to meet a girlfriend for coffee BEFORE work. Blissful. What a great way to stat my day. (It is true that I may have been an hour and a half for work, but for the record, I did meet her early enough that I could have had a coffee, shared a laugh and got to work on time if I had really wanted to.)

We've had some busy weekends lately. Here's the run down...
Three weeks ago RJ and I flew up North to Sacramento. We stayed at my parents' house and on Saturday we did a double-wedding day. First we went to my cousin Sallie's wedding in Yuba City. She was such a beautiful bride. We're only 6 months apart and we've grown up together so it was a bit sentimental seeing her in the big white dress (we're getting so old! I remember when we used to dress up in our Nounie's wedding dress and it would drap in bunches around our little ten year old frames), but David, the groom, is a wonderful guy and I am so thrilled for them.
After the ceremony, dinner, and dancing RJ and I left Sallie's wedding and drove back to my hometown of Grass Valley. We caught the last hour and a half of my friend Sabrina's wedding. Sabrina and I have know each other since the 4th grade. We grew up together and then both ended up attending Cal Poly as Speech Communications majors. We went from Sunday School to Senior project together and I was so thrilled to be able to see her as a beautiful bride. Plus....one of my bestest buddies Natalie was there as well as a slew of fun friends I haven't seen since high school! (Unfortunately the one image I have is hideously gross, so I refuse to post it.)
The next weekend RJ and I enjoyed a mellow Saturday. He spend most of the day studing for his real estate exam and I read an amazing book (A Thousand Splendid Suns). Then, on Sunday I joined two friends from work, Laura and Beth, and we headed out to Santa Cruz Island. Laura and I are writing an article for the magazine about "No Impact Backpacking" and Beth went out to take photos of us for the story. (I totally wore the wrong thing which is such a bummer since the pics are actually going to be published in the mag, but at least Beth is a gifted enough photographer that she managed to still make me look acceptably decent.) Beth had to leave the island Sunday afternoon, but Laura and I spent the night and we met a new friend - our little Santa Cruz fox buddy! He was the cutest dang thing and he hung out at our campsite area all evening.
(These photo's are mine, which is why they're so terrible. I'll posts Beth's soon.)
Finally, laast weekend RJ and I enjoyed a FAB surf session on Saturday afternoon and then some world-class entertainment at the Ventura Moster Truck Rally. RED-NECKS UNITE! What a show...the people who attended were spectacular!
