Coming Home

I know, I know - I've been home a while. I've been home so long - I'm gone again. :) But I'll give you a few more items from my San Diego trip.


Our resort had little make up mirrors on the wall in the restroom which I appreciate! But because it's me - so mine had some issues. It wouldn't face the right way; BUT my mother did not raise a fool and I showed that mirror who was boss!

We got to come home VERY early on Thursday and as I'm walking to the lobby for our ride at 4am - I took this shot of a very quiet golf course.And then a cute little bunny hopped in front of me - and I almost died. It takes a lot of self control to not scream at 4 in the morning on a dark golf course when a rabbit crosses your path. At least for me it does.


Pepita and I were very happy to be home and we even came home with a very lovely SkinMedica beach bag! We had a lovely time in San Diego and we're currently hanging out in Atlanta. Good times!


Until next time...

Meeting, eating and rolling

Day 2 of our San Diego adventure meant meetings all day with some yummy food thrown in. Breakfast was done on the patio and it was COLD!! I thought California was supposed to be perfect weather! THIS is NOT perfect weather! THIS is FREAKIN COLD!
So we ate really fast and were all in our seats early. :)
And while lunch was still a little chilly - it was also VERY gorgeous.
Before dinner, the crew met for "Team Building". I hate team building. We listened to a motivational speaker that used Fire Walking as an example of how to be brave. So my overactive imagination spent the rest of the day fretting that our promised 'team building exercise' would be that. But thankfully it wasn't and thankfully it wasn't so bad.

It was a three part process. Each team was given a tricycle to build - the fastest team won. Then we were given items to use to decorate our bikes - the most creative team won. And finally, one person from each team got to race said bikes around the courtyard of the hotel - the fastest team won.
After our race, we were told the bikes were being donated to local children's charities which made us all say "awww!". Then they brought the kids out - and we all cried. Seriously, who gives a room full of women a bunch of liquor and then parades a bunch of cute little kids out?! Yeesh. The kids and their families got to have dinner with us - mostly the parents ate, the kids were too busy riding around the room. :) It's a beautiful thing.

It was a lovely day with no fire walking. ;)

Pepita Does San Diego...sort of

Pepita and I got to spend a few days in San Diego last week while we attended SkinMedica's annual sales meeting. We didn't actually SEE San Diego - we drove THROUGH San Diego....I think. We spent a few very cold days at the Rancho Bernardo Inn where I got to meet the people I've spent months emailing.

Here are a few highlights from day 1:

On the way to the airport! Pepita and I don't love early.
San Diego!! From the bus.
Our view. Not bad at all!
We had a long day traveling - Pepita needed a rest.
Apparently company gatherings mean open bar. Who knew?!
Night, night!
But wait! There's more.....
