I made it to California!  Even though I text messaged Emily frantically several times assuring her that I was bound to miss a flight, my neuroses had it all wrong on this one, and I arrives safe and sound, with not even any interesting travel tales!  Well, actually, I was dying to take a picture of one of our stewardesses on my first flight. She was a COUGAR, meee-owww!  She was model-thin, probably 60 but looked 50, had on a Delta uniform bright red wrap-dress, TONS of makeup, and super-sexy stilletos.  She was like something on a TV show. I watched her with great fascination during my flight, and noticed with some satisfaction when she changed into fugly black granny shoes to push the beverage cart.  I didn’t get a picture cause it would have been a SMIDGE obvious. SO you will all just have to trust me.

When I landed in San Diego, Sony had sent a driver in uniform and he had a sign with my name on it!  It was crazy!  I wished I had some really awesome Paris Hilton sunglasses to reflect my super-star status.  Cause apparently I am all that and a bag of chips!

But anyhoo…I am blogging here at La Valencia Hotel in the world’s most comfortable bed…

I mean, it was a wonderful night’s sleep!  Perhaps aided by the fact that I had a terrible travel headache and I went to bed at 9pm California time, which is midnight my time.  But man, this baby is sooo comfortable! I wanna take it home!! Of course due to the time change, I was wide awake at 5:30 California time!  So I got up early and got re-acquainted with my breast pump. I pumped so much I overflowed it and got it all over my nice PJs! Dang!! So I’ve hung those out to dry here in the room.  I miss my kids a lot already, and my boobs really miss Sophie! I wasn’t very uncomfortable last night though until during dinner,(filet mignon at the fancy hotel restaurant- THANKS SONY!) so I rushed back to my room and pumped before bed.  So, all in all, my boobs are doing better than expected. We have a really long day of training today on some of Sony’s cameras so I plan to pump again before I leave for the session.

Did I mention as I am writing this I am watching the world’s largest tv?

and I’m wearing my comfy free La Valencia slippers?

I wanna live here forever!  Well, maybe not forever I haven’t touched the mini-fridge in my room cause they charge FOUR DOLLARS for a can of Coke. FOUR DOLLARS!! Come on! That’s like 500% profit I am SURE. Geeez!

But I digress. I am having a great time on my adventure thus far! I had dinner with some very cool ladies last night, Kim and Christina. You gotta check them out!

I am really excited for today’s session. It’s going to be photography lessons all day long from Me Ra Koh, who is an amazing photographer and a mom of two little ones!  I can’t wait to learn how to take bnetter pictures of the kids. Maybe I’ll take some really good ones from now on and actually get some PRINTS made for once!

I am also really excited that at 6 pm today I have a massage booked….oh heaven….I can hardly wait!  I am sure since I will have been awake over 12 hours by that time, that I will be comatose but it will still be blissful.

Well, that’s all I got for now. I made it! I ‘m a big girl! And so far, Bobby and the kids are surviving.  Woohoo!
