The best laid plans!

Okay, so Mendocino has to wait a week. As I was heading out, my left rear window decided to come down permanently! Or at least until the BMW dealer can fix it, which won’t be until tomorrow. So I turned around came home and found these 4 messages waiting for me in voice mail:

Caller # 1—My friend Lori: Hey Girl, I am going to a progressive dinner* tomorrow night. There is room for you if you want to come along.
*A local restaurant hosts this event were a 5-course meal is served and the men get up and change to a different table between each courses. Sort of like speed dating but a little different.

Caller # 2—My friend John: I need a date for Saturday. We (his company) are sponsoring the Grand Prix this weekend, and I got pick to entertain Paul Newman. Do you want to go Go-Kart racing with us?

Caller # 3—Match making service I signed up for. Don’t asked… girlfriend support thing: Hi! We have a dinner date for you on Thursday. He is 5’10, dark brown hair, green eyes and a cardiologist. Do you want to meet him? He wants to meet you. Call us.

Caller # 4—My friend Doug: My doubles partner just cancel on me for Wednesday, can you sub. I will take you to dinner afterwards. Please say yes!

So I rescheduled my trip for next week, dropped off my car, filled in my calendar and said a silent thank you to the man upstairs.

Do I want to go Go-Kart racing with Paul Newman? DUH!

Confession # 59

I do not do well in the heat!

The Bay Area is about to start its third week of a heat wave—Yuck!

And to everyone around me I am about to enter my third week of being a royal bitch—Double Yuck! So I have decided to spare my friends and family of my bitchiness and head north for a week.

I have packed 5 books, three swimsuits, my running clothes and shoes, pajamas, some cute summer digs, my favorite jeans and Shaggy.

We are off to Mendocino! I cannot possibly get in trouble there… ☺

Confession # 58

I have a lot of catching up to do…

Home Life…
My house is currently under construction. This process has turned my world upside down somewhat so I have neglected my writing.

Note: Construction worker, gardeners, and plumbers are not as cute as they are on TV. The window guys however, they can pull down my shades anytime.

Social Life…
I have discovered—
Vodka martins, champagne, port and Irish coffee do not mix.

Do not hook up with a Braves’ fan at Giants’ singles night. The relationship will not last after the first two hits.

Having a date with the most handsome man on the planet is great if all you want to do is smile all night, but if you want to have an intelligent conversation go out with a garbage man.

Looks and good conversation don’t mean a thing if they don’t make you laugh.

Sometimes your best girlfriend can be a boy.

I have been—
Sitting by the pool, playing tennis, eating, not running, shopping and painting several towns!

Love Life…
I have decided to put an end to the cat and mouse game I have been playing with Mr. Magic, and take a good long hard look at the real magic man right in front of me.

My Career…
Still waiting to hear about my new job! I don’t mind waiting. I am having a great summer!
