Amazing Journey
(updated)
my buddy lacey is going to "the lake" on friday. of course, she has to register for her next semester of classes on friday, so she asked me if I could register for her classes for her. sure. why not.
so this naturaly requires a formal training session, which I attended at lacey's house. that was sorta fun. then she informed me that I was gonna go with her and her parents to IHOP for breakfast. I then found out I'd be taking her to Mervyn's to exchange a pair of jeans. w/e.
breakfast was good, her parents were.... interesting.then I drove her to mervyn's for her shopping craving to be satisfied. w/e. I don't care. w/e works. I'll take any time with a friend I can get. plus she said she just wanted an excuse to see me. that was nice. she's great, we can exchange such dialogue without any concern as she
lives with her bf and they've bee together for ever. I wish I had more friends like her.... but she can be a little weird sometimes. and her friends creep me out. but I love her.
so then i go to work. and i am faced with several deliveries. there are 2 waiting in my box to go to other real estate offices, plus a sign rider and flyer box that i was informed of since last week. so, thats 3. then i had banking to do.. so thats a few more right there. lemme see.... 6 banks today. so now we're at a total of 9 deliveries. then i get a voice mail that an agent wants me to go refil a flyer box i put up on friday night. this is a special one as it is in Novato, which is about 15 or so miles south. w/e. 10. on my way out another agent stops me and asks if i can take down sign riders and flyer boxes on 2 of her listings, one in town and one in Cotati... a town about 10 miles NORTH. 12. TWELVE errands of some form or another. and not only that, 2 are out of town and in opposite dirrections. yay. long story short, i put 76 miles on the truck today and didnt finich my errands until an hour or so after i usually get off work. so i put in a bunch of hours and a bunch of miles. at final tally, i think i made $80 for today's work. not bad. and most of it was done driving through the summer weather in California's Wine Country. good times.

Her friends creep you out? Lol.
Why the hell would you go to a lake when you live so close to the freakin ocean?
*baffled*
maybe because it's so rare that I get to see the ocean that I find it more valuable than a lake. Idk.
cuz the ocean is FREAKICHLY COLD and choppy, while "the lake" is warm and calm. its a little difficult to wake board when the sea is choppy, the water is salty, and the temperature is freezing. also, we are actually not THAT close to the ocean... its a good half hour trip directly west to get to Bodega Bay (the nearest coastal town, also the setting for Hitchcock's "birds") and its a good 45 minutes down to the Golden Gate Bridge, which is of course at the ocean. now, trying to get to a beach on the SF side will take an additional 15-30 minutes. so.... the lake, any lake, has its advantages.
I've always wanted to visit the States. I think Cali and Penn will be the first on my list. :)
..There aren't many more locations in the states that are farther apart than us. Lol.
