After accidentally taking off my shirt while going through security and possibly getting hit on by the female security worker this morning and then patted down by a not-so-friendly male security worker, I have made it home safe and sound.
Time for a much needed nap.

San Diego Made Me Fat! Can I sue?
I got back last night from a super fun weekend trip to San Diego (and after getting lost, Tijuana, Mexico).
Number of meals consumed: at least 15 in 2.5 days...I stopped counting. I'm such a fat ass.
Realization of the weekend: The San Diego Ikea showroom is my dream home.
Another important realization: Mexico ROCKS!!!!! So do Cuban cigars!
Funniest part of the weekend: Accidentally ending up at a Mexican drag show with Michael Jackson.
Animal attack of the weekend: The big blue bird that tried to take Andy out at the San Diego Zoo.
Most over-used phrase of the weekend: "oh, me gusta!"
Other random highlights: beef jerky, mating flamingos, 20 bucks in Mexico, rooftop hot tubs, our names in lights at the Mexican border, and most importantly, seeing the world's largest upright thermometer in Baker. Good times. =)
Downsides of the weekend:
1) Waking up in my apartment in Tonopah this morning was just not as exciting as waking up in the luxurious Omni Hotel. Where's the pool? And my complimentary orange juice outside the door?
2) After eating pretty much non-stop all weekend, none of my pants fit any more =(

Lovin' San Francisco
Peace out Sin City!
Bored and on spring break, I decided to flee the city of sex, gambling, and drinking, for a short and unplanned trip to San Francisco, aka Gay Mecca.
I've been here for about two days, and so far, I'm having a pretty good time. I've been to the California Academy of Science, China Town, some great stores, Japantown (big surprise haha), the Asian Museum of Art, and a few other places. I also got an amazing massage and have met some pretty cool people. (I've also met some pretty rude people which I had to school about proper museum and aquarium etiquette, but that's a whole other post haha)
My trip however has been oddly without the drinking, partying, and clubbing that usually fills 20-something trips out of town. Sigh…I'm so old beyond my age. haha
Anyway, as I was eating sushi and reading my People magazine during lunch today at this wonderful Japanese restaurant, I though to myself: How great it is to be able to just pick up and go on vacation; to be able to follow my whims and dreams with no attachments or restrictions; to know that I have made a difference, and will continue to create change. I felt so truly blessed and fortunate to have exactly the life I want.
Yet as a sit here in a luxurious hotel on yet another vacation with limitless options ahead and an impending move abroad, I somehow find myself yearning for attachments and limitations to ground me. Am I living life, or am I escaping? Am I being brave and adventurous, or am I just lonely?
Hmmm…
Deep thoughts: far too deep to contemplate while on vacation…I think I'll watch Harry Potter on TV instead.
Peace
