[i wrote this entry about a week ago...]
i'm sorry i've been neglecting you. things have been quite busy the past week or so. i've made two trips down to SoCal, and have just landed in Indiana for a job interview and a lengthy holiday visit with family. (btw, don't ever plan to leave for an extended vacation within 24 hours of returning home from a different trip. just don't do it).
anyways, on my most recent trip to SoCal, i flew into to town for a special treat - spa day! i love glen ivy, and convinced three of my friends to join me. okay, it wasn't that hard to convince them since it was "buy one, get one free". soooo worth it. we had a great time! the weather was a bit cool, which is perfect for lounging in hot tubs all day. i don't think there is anything better than sipping a blended drink while relaxing in a bubbly hot tub. okay, maybe if it was on the beach instead of in the inland empire. but i was definitely happy, even without the beach ;) the highlight of the trip was when we visited one of the "quiet pools" - my friend tried to step into the pool from the side (instead of using the steps and hand rails). that might have been a mistake. she lost her balance and fell into the pool in slow motion. very quiet slow motion. somehow we kept from bursting out in laughter. but she still scared off the other people in the pool.
the spa was definitely the highlight of my trip down, but i also really enjoyed an evening at disneyland. we only rode two rides (california screaming and toy story midway mania), but then grabbed a snack and watched the fireworks in disneyland park - the snowfall at the end is the best! even though it's fake, i still love it!
on the flight back to san jose, the flight attendant detailing the safety information did a cute rendition that was phrased like "'twas the night before christmas". it was pretty entertaining. once i arrived back in san jose, i had less than 24 hours to do some last minute work, pack, and prepare for my trip out to indiana. somehow i made it, and even got almost everything packed into two very heavy bags. (they both weighed 49 pounds - take that southwest and your 50 lb limit!)
the flight to indiana was uneventful, although the flight attendant on this flight was far less rthymically skilled and her rendition of the safety information in "twas the night..." fashion nearly ruined the poem for me forever. but, i arrived safely, in one piece, and ready to get a good night's sleep and kick some interview butt. bring it on!
