TRUE STORY: I am having the time of my life.
Where oh where do I begin? Howzabout a list?
1. My hotel room is huge. The bathroom alone is about the size of the kitchen at my house. My bed is made out of snow and clouds. And the view? My balcony is actually over ocean.
2. There are enough blankets on my bed that I can leave all my glass doors open at night and listen to the ocean.
3. Housekeeping FOLDS MY CLOTHES. Whenever anybody asks me what I would do if money was no object I--without a second thought--immediately say I would want a personal assistant who would take care of my laundry and always put my clothes away. Now, I'm not a douchebag or anything. I thought I did a pretty good job of putting my clothes in a place where they wouldn't inhibit cleaning. But they found them anyway (in the vanity, where I'm supposed to dry my hair and do my makeup, apparently, since they moved my makeup and hair dryer from the bathroom to the vanity). I had left a pullover jacket on the corner of the bed. That was folded neatly as well. PARADISE IS WHERE I AM.
4. I've been meeting with a ton of vendors and I keep getting FREE STUFF. Which is good because the number of my coworkers that hate me for being here without them? Is high. I shall appease them with aquarium post-its.
5. ALSO, whenever I come back to my room after a break there are presents in my room. A fleece, a wind chime, cookies and milk, chocolate dipped strawberries, petit fours, etc, etc, etc. For my own cataloging purposes I made a video of free stuff because I lied earlier when I said I wasn't a douchebag.
6. TODAY, after I have more meetings and excellent food I'm going to Land Rover Experience Driving School.

I laughed out loud at the "oh, hello."

1. Whenever I see/hear "I'm having the time of my life," I think of Arrested Development. The show, not the band.
2. This made me giggle lots.

Where in the world are you, and why?! I'm glad you're having so much fun. :)

Okay, just saw the vid. You're in Monteray (which is, by the way, about my favorite place in CA, which is about my favorite state in the USA). But I still don't know why??
I think I need an aquarium posty note.

Can I have one of your recycled denim pens?
Thanks.

all the free stuff is cool and all, but i need to know about your necklace. i love.
Dude, that necklace gets more compliments than everything else I own put together. I think I got it at Forever 21? I got it over two years ago though so I don't think it can be found again.

TEMECULA!
True story: Pechanga was the seediest grossest little place until like four years ago and then they got all fancy. I've still never been, but their water tower glows green and you can see it for miles. Weird, right?
Oh, I am so educated on Temecula now. Question: we should try out Pechanga, no?

um, yes.

Oh I love Monterey! I grew up going there every summer and now I am so jealous!
Niiiice.
