(on) blast off

the zen-life metaphors are taking a timeout today. woke up at 4am this morning to catch my flight from seattle to la. sat on my suitcase for about 5 minutes as i attempted to fit everything in this tiny carry-on. i'm getting better and better at minimal packing as i rarely check-in my bags when i fly. but maaaan, i wasn't expecting to receive as many gifts. i'm thankful, very thankful, but did mi familia not get the pending recession memo?

i realized some minor things as i was zipping up my (over the top) full ass suitcase,
that:

• a) i'm going to miss my family very much (as always),
• b) the last time i had my period was november '08,
• c) i haven't shaved my legs in ___ weeks (i will not reveal the true length of time in attempt to not gross you out too much)
• d) the man friend called and told me he would be back in LA this week (thought he'd be back next month so what a nice surprise), should this be motivation for more diligent feminine up keep? (hmmm...i'll ponder on that later)
• e) why did i finally watch the korean movie "moment to remember" and also the infamous "notebook" for the first time and WHY did i really cry like a biyaaatch while watching both? and
• f) this is gonna be one crazzzy busy ass year, so strategizing, researching, developing, planning and implementation must be done with the most utmost care.
  

that's a lot of random thoughts to have within 5 minutes, but my mind- it just goes.
as pops dropped me off at seatac, i started to tear up. then i had to check myself "are you becoming one of those truly sentimental freaks whom you used to cap on all the time?" or hmm "maybe you are about to get your moon." yes, that must be it.

i slept the whole plane ride. when i awoke, i realized that i had no cash on me for the shuttle. freaker. i ended up paying w/ a bunch of pennies. it was hilarious. the dude finally said,
"you don't have to count it out for me, it's all good. just drop it like it's hot." SWEET. i always get the hook-up. somehow, someway.

from the airport, i came straight to the office, which is where i am now...reflecting on the wonderful chill time i had back home (photos to come soon.) and low and behold, as i began to write this blog entry, there she finally came (my moon aka period.) so now it's back to reality...

excuse me while i imagine drop kicking some of these bugaboo performers in mi oficina.
back back to the grind...
