So, I took a roadtrip to Costa Mesa...
May 23, 2010
all alone! This is an important distinction because I have three kids and almost never even make it to the grocery without one or more spawn in tow.
In any case, the drive was shorter than I thought it would be. As a kid, I remember always being told we were not going to Disneyland until hell froze over, because the 8 hour drive from Sacramento just wasn't worth the trip. Eight hours? Were people driving a horse and buggy in the early 80's? I made it to LA proper in 4.5 hours. When you add the additional drive across LA to reach Costa Mesa, it was still under 6 hours drive time.
Anyway, the OH event was informative, fun, revealing, and funny. Holy crap- Mary Jo Rapini: filthy and funny...a combo made in heaven! I think I'd fly across the country to hear her speak again. So, I saw people, read packages, sampled some new and old products, and just generally hung out for two days.
I met up with a couple of fantastic ladies on OH and local to me in Elk Grove, Gina and Jessica. There were a few bumps in the road with these two ladies health-wise, but we had a fine time nevertheless. I look forward to another girl's weekend, very soon!
And finally, I got to spend a bit of time (and an over-priced bottle of wine) with the ever-lovely Beth (Melting Mama), as well as Andrea, of WLS Vitagarden fame. These are two of the coolest chicks on the planet, though I think they are often misunderstood. To top it off, they are both uber intelligent...perhaps too smart for the average bear to understand. I adore them both and feel privileged to have met them both. If you are ever in close proximity to either gal, please say hello and strike up a convo with one or both...they just might surprise you!
I'm home now, after the longer, lonelier drive home. I saw snow flurries over the Grapevine, a bit of rain, a bit of sun, bad drivers, horrible drivers, and downright dangerous drivers along the way. I even saw a pack of Hell's Angels parting traffic with their caravan of bikes...quite a sight! It feels good to be home.
By the way, I still haven't been to Disneyland.
