lots to mention today.
I left off when i had jsut arrived in SF. That trip was a lot of fun. not only was the conference that i went to really good, i got to see allie and meet her baby and her husband. i hadn't seen allie since 1997 i was trying to be all punkrock or something back then with platinum blonde hair and i was a crying mess, so i only got to chat with her for about 5 seconds. prior to that i had only seen her maybe once or twice in college and then it has been since like when we were 16. i was a little concerned that maybe we wouldn't hit it off but we had been exchanging emails regularly since we were both about 6 months pregnant so of course if i was going to be in town i was hoping to get to hang out. we both laughed about how we both sounded much more, how do i put it, mature then when we last hung out, but other then that everything just fell into place. i was so happy to spend time with her again, and i was happy to meet her husband and i totally love her little boy - he is so smiley! so, i took the bart to walnut creek and allie picked me up to go back to her house and to get ready for zach's birthday party! after the party we hung out chatting until it was getting pretty late. allie took me to my hotel which i greatly appreciated because although i would have taken it at night, i really didn't want to risk it.
the next day was the conference and i was amazed. it was huge and i learned so much.
that evening i went shopping to get some sensible shoes since although i wore shoes that i thought were sensible, they weren't since i was walking a ways. i wound up buying some very non-sensible shoes and some underpants for seamus from bloomingdales and have the days of the week and Bloomies on the back.
tuesday morning i returned the non-sensible shoes and just dealt with my original shoes until lunch time when allie and zach met me and we went to china town. i got some chinese jammies for seamus and the cousins and some little black chinese shoes for me. they aren't the most elegant but my feet felt so much better in them.
i do not remember what i did on tuesday night.
wenesday i went to the conference for day 3, tried to hook up with xtie's friend who works in the city who i had lunch with the last time i was in SF back in 1999 but it didn't happen so i went to the airport to see if i could catch an earlier flight, which i did. oh, i won a blackberry in a drawing. do you want to buy it from me? i will give you a good deal on it.
so now i am home but very busy and the insomnia is back but it is different. i just stay up late now instead of going to bed and trying to fall asleep. so the problem is now if i wake up in the morning, i stay awake. this has resulted in me showing up at work at 6 and 630am several times this week.
i have taken up a new challenge of running at least 20 minutes a day. that has been working out pretty good. i head out to the tread mill because i am totally in love the thing after the kids go to bed. eric put the tv out there and got some rabbit ears so now i can watch something other then that desire show in a snowstorm.
so something big is happening this weekend. i will write about it after it happens!
