part of me is so happy to be back in the bay area since all of my friends and family are here. i love getting to hang out with everyone since i've been back!!

thursday night i went to sf to meet up with merin, kelly, and lauren for dinner and drinks. i love that we can always get together and totally be ourselves. i love those girls to death and i appreciate that they not only listen to me, but that they have the best advice. also, i love that i can stuff my face with sushi and drink girly drinks and they still think the same of me. :) it was a great night topped off by a late night sprint to bart so we'd make the last train home. woohoo!!

friday i went to berkeley to the alumni house to help gary out with interviews and check out the new line for the lair with david. it was great experience to be on the other side of an interview and really see the dos and don'ts upclose. of course it was a true lair hangout during lunch since we rallyed at raleigh's. i spent most of the afternoon checking out the new items for the lair and i hope had some good feedback for david.

friday night was a little reunion at kip's and i think a time to let other cal kids know about the lair and that they should apply. i heard a lot of fools were going, and i was a bit sad because i remembered that my mom's irvington sports fundraiser was that same night. boohoo!! but i had a good time hanging with my mom and my dad at the hilton. i think we had a great time raising some moola.

that night, i set my alarm for 6:45 for saturday (yeah, yeah, i smoke hella crack!!) because i knew it was going to be cold enough to snow!! i did wake up and peek through my blinds and i had a hard time adjusting my eyes because it looked like snow on all the hills. i passed it off as a giant cloud and went back to sleep. when i went to the gym around 10, i was surprised to see that my eyes had not deceived me, and that there was snow EVERYWHERE!! i've never seen anything like that in the bay area before!! it sort of reminded me of vancouver for a moment. :)

today was random with a sharks game at 1. it was pretty intense with a lot of fights, to say the least. i can't believe some of the effed up calls by the refs after one of the fights. stupid vokoun was pissed for some unknown reason when parker was really upset and tried to climb the glass after being skated off the ice by an official. everyone's talking trash and pissing him off and he's the enforcer for sj, wtf do you think he's going to do?? vokoun is the goon...totally charging cheechoo and taking him out. anyone else would have gotten a penalty for that crap. boohoo you big baby!! heheheheh!! i was just excited the sharks could get a point because it's an uphill battle to get them in the playoffs.

but like i said before, i am so happy to be home, sort of unpacking and organizing my stuff, and i can't wait to get back to work. can you believe i actually said that?? i'm getting excited about finding a new job and getting paid. money will be good for things like gas and food and rent and car insurance...etc!!
