Text to Karina from me:
“I hate myself today. Sorry for the drunk phone call last night. I was out of control. I think I kissed a rockstar. I got tipsy in front of my client. I even fell when I crossed the street and I have cuts and bruises. I am so embarrassed!”

Her reply back:
“Embarrassed? Sounds to me like a memory making great night! Love and live and laugh!”

I love you Karina! Thank you for always being there and teaching me how to love myself and not be too hard on myself. You are truly one of my very best friends – forever and ever and ever!

Yesterday I went to an all day out door concert called VIVA Salt Lake. I had 2 clients there so I had to be at the venue around 11am until the event was over at 10pm. My sister met me there and we drank a few more than our share of the free VIP alcoholic beverages. I woke up this morning remembering bits and pieces of the days and nights events. Some parts are a little hazy. I have scrapes and bruises on my elbows, wrists, knees, and tail bone from falling while trying to cross a street. I told some rockstars (pretty much all of Candlebox) that I was going to marry them. But they invited Staci and I to meet them at a bar after the concert (where they got us even more drunk), so I couldn’t have been that bad. Embarrassment aside, I had a blast!

My clients and friends from Graywhale doing what they do best…making me laugh!

You can’t read the label but it says “In the sun or in the can, let Beehive bail you out”. It is a little sunscreen bottle that they handed out at the event. Hey ya gotta get creative when you are marketing a bail bonds company!

So I am sitting in my office and I keep looking out the window…at the rain pouring down! Today is Wednesday, which means I should be going hiking. But no. The rain and lightning have decided to cancel my plans. Grrrr!

Don’t get me wrong, I love the rain. Living in Utah, a desert state, you have to be grateful for all of the snow and rain that comes. I have to keep reminding myself that all of the rain is helping to fill our lakes so that we will have a good boating season! But come on! We have had to cancel 3 or 4 hikes already this year on account of rain! It would be more convenient for me if we could schedule the rain for Mondays and Tuesdays exclusively. Mondays are miserable anyway. I think it would actually make me feel better if I was at work on Monday and it was raining because then I would think hey, I may as well be at work because the weather is miserable and I wouldn’t be day dreaming about being outside in the sun doing anything but working!

You can not tell, but I have 2 large windows directly to my right. So this is me looking out my windows at the rain.
