20 Days and Counting

It's a sunny and cool 37 degrees here in Los Gatos this morning.  Visiting with my great friend, my Mom and doing "chick things" has been both relaxing and fun.  Manicures, pedicures, haircut, lunch and talking the hours away.  It's certainly enjoyable to splurge on these treats as roughing it is right around the corner.  

Today I drive up to the beautiful and funky city of San Francisco and visit with James and Shawn this afternoon, then Leslie and Melissa later for dinner and a concert.  I can get used to this no 8 to 5 lifestyle!  Though one day of work remains at Black Gold on Friday, February 1.  Sushi and beers after for my going away shindig will be good times.  It happens to be Andy's last day at Sitelines as well so a party is appropriately in order.  The next morning we are having a garage sale and I can see it now:  we are woken up from our drunk slumber at 5am with a bang on the door from one of those agro garage sale geeks ready to buy their treasures from our junk.  Boy, what a morning of fun that will be!

Nerves and excitement regularly pass through me as the hours and days pass, like the feelings during the ebb and flow of rapids while white water rafting.  I have never felt more alive and it's only going to grow as the trip bears on.  Hell yes!   They say that clarity is 80% of happiness and I am crystal.  (by Stacy)
