So Sunday I read this article in the SF Chronicle. Which claims that Walnut Creek, Walnut Creek mind you, is "the biggest Bay Area pub crawl outside San Francisco" Did I miss something? When did preppy Walnut Creek (aka "the creek") become cool? When did the nothing to do in the east bay suddenly become a place that other city dwellers flock to? I just shake my head in shock and confusion. And yet, am strangely wanting to check this out for myself and see what all the fuss is about. I mean people not ten minutes away from Walnut Creek are driving in for this. Could there possibly be something fun to do in a city near me?! Or is it just a bunch of drunk morons being lazy and getting drunk in a city near them? It's probably the latter but I still want to find out for myself.

On a different note, my bday is coming up and Kristen and Michele are forcing me to do something even though I never have any fun on my bday so I've been thinking and here's what I've come up with. Feel free to email me with your comments of yeas or nays and/or suggestions. AHEM:

• Day at Great America
• Nice fancy dinner in SF
• Day or Evening at Scandia playing miniature golf, go carts and bumper boats
• Fun at the Ren Faire
• Murder Mystery Dinner game in my honor
• Picnic and outdoor games at Golden Gate Park

So after all that crap below I decided to stay. It's just not worth it to go looking for a job, a place to live, be really strapped for money, and all that stress when really, hopefully I'll be moving down in a mere 8 months. Now most of you might say whoa that's a long time but really I've been here almost a year already and Sept, Oct I'm going to be out of work a lot using vacation time, and then Nov and December are all about the paid holidays and then from there it's all down hill with only 4 months or so to go so....I'm gonna stick it out. I've made Sonia at work extremely happy, which made me feel good. Mom's glad I'm going to be around and so are you I'm sure my two faithful readers. (hi michele and kristen (frantic hand waving))

But today. Oh my today is all about boredom. I'm counting down the minutes till I can leave and start the drive down to big sur and with my email buddies already there I am SOOOO bored. I should be working on a project Lorie gave me but she was a little vague about what she needed and it's so tedious and I just don't want to do it. ughhhhhhhhhhhhh!! Why oh why is 4:30 so far away. Sometimes Fridays just suck.
