For realz, Southern California is exacerbating my already insatiable addiction to sunshine. Every day I’m here, my mind just continues to be blown away: we are into November, and I am outside frolicking in a tank top and yoga pants. Do you sense my incredulousness? It almost hit fucking 80 degrees this afternoon. This shit is too good to be true!!

Shiit. So what does this mean?? Am I secretly a beach bum then rather than a mountain cowgirl? You know I like to put shit into neat little boxes! Dilemmas, dilemmas. I did look pretty bad ass cruisin’ along on my low riding, matte black bike!

OMG, I am tired. I can barely remember what I did today. This daily blogging thing is tough… I need to stop waiting until the end of the day, when my creative juices are totally sapped!

Let’s see. So today, I combed through a bunch of her magazines. Who knew O Mag was so chock full of coaching content? There was an entire section on finding your passion. I think I’ll try it tomorrow to see if I gain any new nuggets.

I spoke with my parents today. They are still recovering from their Asia travels. Incidentally, my mother told me about how she watched an entire Korean soap opera (I downloaded/installed an Asian movies/soaps app to her iPad)– without having any subtitles and without any Mandarin/English audio. I don’t know how that could have held her interest, but she insists she was able to deduce the subject/storyline (regarding reincarnation) enough to enjoy watching. I know, totally bizarro, right? I also updated them on the job hunt, info interviews… Dad surprised me by saying there was no rush, and that I should just find what I like. Huh? Did he get kidnapped by aliens? Very uncharaceristic.

Btw, I def have to give credit to my buddy G. P is hooked on Meditation Oasis. We do it in the morning, and also for study breaks. Mary Maddux rocks! As for me, still no major breakthroughs, but I enjoy practicing every day. I know one day soon the magic will happen for me.

Oh, I hit the Trader Joe’s this afternoon. I turned P on to some new products to get: they carry challah bread (woot, woot!) and I found some super tasty chocolate almond pistachio bark. Yummy. Also, I discovered a delicious bottle of pinot noir that I’m going to search for at my local store back home: TJ’s Reserve from Williamette, Oregon. Smooth and very drinkable.

In the evening, Coursera released this week’s video lectures for my marketing class. Yup, I watched them all today. I’m hard core like that. I will have to watch them again though and take notes simultaneously. I still haven’t figured out how to do that on the iPad where I watch a video and also have the notes page open. Task to figure out later.

Ok, I’m beat. Tomorrow is more studying, some work for me, and then kayaking by the bridge. Gotta soak up the sun here while I can. Workin’ on that tan baby!
