I think that line was from the movie "Sideways" which I finally got to see last Friday (slipping it in before the Oscars) on the flight home from Atlanta to San Francisco.

Okay, so I should finish updating my last few weeks.  After the embarrassing singing at the Border Cafe the night before my birthday, the next day I flew to Orlando.  I was very impressed that the check-in agent at Song Airlines noticed it was my birthday (Song was quite disappointing btw ...).  After landing, I headed over to Titusville and my mom was nice enough to give me a free massage (she is a massage therapist after all).  Then we headed to an Asian restaurant which served sushi and Thai food.  Hmm...Asian food in Titusville.  Might need to rethink that.

On Friday, I headed over to visit a school and then over to our Orlando office.  After spending endless hours in traffic (hmm...note to self, do not travel in Florida when it's the Daytona 500, winter break, and a long weekend), I headed over to Pleasure Island and hung out with my buddies Jackie & Dave for another evening of birthday celebrations.  Since the wait for dinner was almost two hours, Dave & I ate a little snack at McDonald's first and then enjoyed a great seafood dinner.  From there, we went dancing at this fun little 70s/80s place.  Not only did I learn that there are still many bad dancers, bad dressers, and bad mannered people, but that Jackie is in love with Rick Springfield (see photo to be posted later). 

Silly me, I had an early flight the next morning so in my hungover state I headed to North Carolina.  While in Charlotte I got a little haircut from my favorite stylist Lisa (isn't it crazy that I have to fly all the way to Charlotte from CA to get a good haircut?) and then hung out with Kate.  She hosted a little birthday shindig with some of my Charlotte friends and I got to see how big their babies have gotten just in the last couple of months.  It's mind-boggling how quickly kids grow.

Sunday we went to the best brunch in the world (MERT'S HEART AND SOUL) and then watched the movie, "Saved" which was awesome.  I truly recommend it if you are the type that gets a laugh from all the phony Christian folks out there.  Then I had to leave (sob, sob) and head to Atlanta - which wasn't sooo tragic since my good friend Brian (better known to most of my family and friends as "Little Brian").  Brian used to work at Microsoft but now is a fancy schmancy exec guy at a start-up called 352media and they do super cool stuff.

Monday & Tuesday were spent in "hotlanta" with my buddy Kriste, who unfortunately lost her wallet at the Westin and I felt so bad for her.  What a nightmare - all your credit cards, ID, money, etc - and she had to fly the next day.  I did learn though, that to get on the plane, all you need is a copy of the police report and it's up to the airlines to decide to let you fly - not the TSA.  Interesting.

Tuesday night I headed to Pittsburgh and met up with some cool work people there.  They cracked me up.  This one guy Steve is a muckety-muck who is probably one of the best ones we have.  He's a straight-shooter (which you know works for me) and wicked smart.  He cracks one liners left and right, which is key to my enjoying time spent.  I wish all the people I worked with were like this but oh well.  He does wear white socks with black shoes and black pants, but we're working on a coaching situation with that.

Wednesday night I headed back to Atlanta where I stayed until Friday night and headed home.  We got in around 11 pm and of course, my in-laws showed up about 12 hours later.  Woo-hoo - the in-laws are coming, the in-laws are coming! 

Sunday night, at my friend MattyH's cool pad, we had a little Oscar shindig.  I am such a wussy girl some time.  Yes, I cried during the Oscars.  I am soo gullible.  Oh well.  I love this stuff.   One of the reasons I like my current job so much is that I'm required to read People magazine and Entertainment Weekly to stay "up" with popular culture.  Darned work is so hard sometimes.  You're all jealous now, aren't you??

This week has been spent catching up with people at work and keeping myself from being fired.  I really do have the best intentions in life, but boy can some people be dumb and I just can't seem to hold back.  I'm working on it.  Really.

Anyway, I'm now trying to get caught up on a month's worth of television - I watched five episodes of Everwood already ;-).  Good thing repeats start up in March - give all of us Tivo/Media Center folks some space.

More photos soon...I promise!
