It's the yin and yang of life...You can't live with it, you can't live without it. If it's not Siri responding to my questions on my phone, it's my desktop that died (rip) last Friday! Argh....how did we become so dependant on technology?
What's a 2011 woman to do? I grin and bear it...I call, I get referred to another number. I grimace. I call...I feel so out of step when I can't fix the problem...Perhaps I should be dating an IT guy!
What a morning! Getting pulled in 10 different directions, none of which I need to focus on! I wanted to do my 38 minute walk with Oliver, then ride my colt and practice what I learned in my impromptu lesson from Wednesday then have lunch with a friend....WRONG!
My desktop computer went out the other day from a power surge and wouldn't boot up...so I called my Computer fix it guy - Ray Hosseinzadeh - he thought it was my motherboard...but he's going out of town over the weekend, won't be back until Monday...geez...I've got projects on my hard drive that I didn't back up, so...I toss my plans out the window, grab my purse and head down to Santa Clara from San Ramon... an hour and a half later, I'm back in business...(really, if you need a quick fix and you are not handy with computers Ray can fix it for a really great price)
Anyway I was back on the road and headed home just in time to take a shower and come into KOIT!
Now that I'm here, I can relax and breathe and focus on YOU!
A far too crazy stress filled world we live in...even me!
The rainy weather today really brought it home that the holidays are right around the corner...
Everywhere I turned it was either Thanksgiving or Christmas! There is egg nog on the shelves already!
And in a heartbeat, my heart was beating out of my chest,
...I wasn't ready!
What was I thinking when I looked at my calendar and saw November 3rd? Thanksgiving is only 3 weeks away? Did I think that some magical genie was going to whisk me into reality and set the holiday wheels into motion?
Not that I mind, I love the holidays...from August thru New Years is my FAVORITE time of year. My brain wasn't ready to be wrapped around the thought of putting away the patio furniture and bring out the firewood, jackets and hats...
I guess time slips away from the best of us....
Now that I got that off my chest...I'm really excited!
It's coming! (Actually, it's here!)
As promised, some photos from my recent photo shoot at The Picture People at Hillsdale Mall. They have locations all over the Bay Area, and you can find them at picturepeople.com. Or just click here to get to their website. The Picture People are compensating me to speak for them. But I'd go back in a heartbeat, and would instantly recommend The Picture People to my friends. Enjoy!
Q: Kishiwada, Japan is the sister city for which Bay Area town?
A: South San Francisco
As you may know by now Lisa Daley and I have a friendly wager going on with the Giants/Phillies league championship about to start. She's orange and black all the way. Having grown up in Philadelphia, I'll be wearing red and white. If the Phils win, she owes me a crab sandwich from The Wharf, and I'll buy her a cheesesteak if the Giants emerge victorious. Julie Shannon wisely remains neutral. Problem is, I haven't really found an authentic cheesesteak since moving to the Bay Area more than 25 years ago. An ideas?
Q: How many Friday the thirteenths are there in 2010?
A: only one. But that's enough. There's only one next year too. But we'll make up for it with three 2012. Are you superstitious at all? I just get a little nervous around black cats, and that's about it.
Alfred Hitchcock was born on this date in 1899, and he shot several of his best films here in the Bay Area. Did you know he had cameos in almost all of his movies? Take a look:
