back to reality

i am happy to be back from the beach, my friend kate and i had fun playing the den-mothers and told them when we left yesterday, "your own on your own from here on out"... they were amazed at the home-cooked meals we prepared - whole wheat pasta with fresh pesto, turkey burgers, lasagna, humus, veggies, etc... i did my share of drinking though BUT got in a good walk every morning for at least an hour (kate said i kicked her ass everytime - ha!)... i'll probably hop on the scale tomorrow to see what the damage is but won't officialy weigh-in again til next wednesday... overall, it was good to get away from work and everything else - i'm a beach kinda gal and would ideally LOVE to live near the ocean... just something about the laid-back atmosphere, the salty air and breezy nights - makes me more at peace then anywhere else...

the appointment i had after work on friday went pretty well, the owner was a very laid-back kind of guy with a great sense of humor (think a grey-haired jerry garcia w/out the beard)... they have a staff of SIX (unlike 200+ here), basically do everything for their clients, and the majority of their work is print (my strength)... the agency has a great variety of clients, which means variety in the work, which means i won't be bored to tears like i am here... he said he really liked my website and my resume and was impressed by my samples... i sent him a thank-you email this afternoon and hope to hear something soon - it was a great experience - regardless if i get the position or not - and having positive feedback is always a good thing...

has anyone been watching the show WORKOUT on bravo? if not, you should seriously check it out if you're into the reality/fitness type of thing... the owner has a kick-ass body, along w/her staff, and its just an interesting show from the perspective of a woman, trying to make it in hollywood, in the fitness world... its pretty gay/lesbian oriented though so if you're uncomfortable w/that kind of thing, it may not be your cup of tea but otherwise - its pretty darn good... season finale is next tuesday at 9:00pm...

work is work, not much else to say there... i'll just be happy when this service directory is done - might have to start the index tomorrow which will be a PAIN IN THE ASS... at least it will be friday... :o)

have a good one...
