i haven't abandoned you..

I'll be back soon. just busy busy busy...it's hard to write something too when you've got piles of stuff in front of you. So when i have a chance I shall return!
hugs.

I have returned...

And what a wonderful time we had. Made it very hard to leave, but I was pretty tired after walking every which way we wanted to go. We Californians have it easy, we drive everywhere! I had a wonderful time though. Spent time with my mother and my grandmother and I felt so at home, I actually didn't want to leave. Gerry and I spent a lot of time together on our own too and I felt pretty connected with him. We definitely needed a week to get away. Not only did i reconnect with myself through my family, but i also reconnected with my boyfriend and my family.

• random fact-squirrels in New York aren't scared of humans. When we arrived this squirrel kept walking super close to me, I'm pretty sure he thought I wasn't from there..Maybe he considered me "fresh meat".
• I realized that no matter how much pain I was in, I kept going. My back was all sorts of messed up. I blame fibro and excitement. Gerry called me a trooper. I realized, I'm not letting this crap interfere with my life. 
• random fact #2-SFO has refilling stations for your water bottles. As you probably know, you can't take open containers through security. SFO has refilling stations so you can empty them out on one side and then refill them on the other! JFK doesn't have this and they charge 3 bucks for water once you reach the other side. 
• Need to go to the bathroom in SOHO, NY? You could go to Starbucks and wait like 30 minutes for their one stall bathroom OR you can go to Old Navy...just a tip for my fellow travellers....
• Check out the car that "walks on water" per thrillist.com

•  Some cool things happening in the Bay Area this weekend, I won't do what i usually do and tell you what's cool each day. I"m backed up over here with lots of crap so I'll just mention Bay to Breakers on Sunday. For more info on this and other events head on over to sf.funcheap.com

• ok sorry to make it so short! have a wonderful day!!!

Bag is half way packed...

One suitcase is all we're bringing. I'm bringing dresses and a couple pairs of jeans. I even packed my jammies, can't forget those! Need to pack meds, hair stuff, makeup, etc....all the other essentials that go with this package. LOL!  I am getting excited, but limiting myself to little excitements so that I can still enjoy and take in each day as it comes...It's hard for me to live in the present I guess. But I'm very happy and so peoples, I will not be here for about a week. You'll have to find the ideeli and hautelook stuff all on your own. i know painful.

• I was going to write about the differences between male and female sexes when it comes to cleaning the house, cooking and the such....I really want to, but I know it's very sexist. It's more my interpretation of the men i've had to deal with in my life and the current frustrations. I would have loved a video camera in my home on Saturday so that I could show Gerry that for every 5 breaks he took, I took a pee break and a water break. While I was on my hands and knees scrubbing, he was perusing CL for dune buggy parts. Or yesterday, when the man made me some delicious french fries and i had to follow him around picking up pieces of potato, wash the cutting board etc...but i will not write about that...not at all. But if I were to come home and he was doing this...

 I don't think i'd be pissed. maybe not in pink or whatever, but you know scrubbing the floors would be neat. :)

• I don't know who reads my blog and i see i get hits from different countries and the such. I do want to share this Care 2 causes link to help a sanctuary for unwanted animals. They need a new place to go and they need it fast. Please click on this link and read about it. We need more doggy sanctuary's in this world. Please help in any way you can. Information or money. or just send prayers if that's all you can afford.

• Girls, remember to go shopping with friends. I did that yesterday and had a fabulous time. Sometimes  you just gotta get in the dressing room with your girlfriends and try on an insane amount of dresses and have a ball.
