Dimples According to Patrick
"You know how you got your dimples? When you were born, God sent an angel to bless you. So when she got done blessing you, she went back to heaven, but on her way she left her footprints on your face. God sent a stupid angel."

Life with an Ocean View
I've been waiting to make this post for a long time b/c I wanted to make sure I said everything I wanted to say, but I've kept putting it off and off and off and I just want to write, so here it is!
A day of my life in Ventura:
6:10 alarm goes off
7:15 I have snoozed until now, and I finally get up :)
8:00 arrive at work with goodies that I may or may not have baked the night before. turn on computer, and start work. The booking dept has been here since 7am. Chantal is a recruiter and also arrives at 7. Marco, the talent department head, will come in at 9. I am the only American citizen in my department! Chantal is from Holland, and Marco is from Italy. My trainer, Omar, who is now on tour is from Puerto Rico. Ashley, the sponsorship coordinator, is from Canada. Oh wait! Tim is technically in my dept, and he's from PA. I guess I do have company!
10:00 MAIL ARRIVES!!!! Auditions? Recommendations??
10:30-12 there may or may not be mtgs.
12:00 Go home for lunch. I will either have PBJ or last night's leftovers.
1:00 Back to work, calling all over the world and taking people's money.
4:00 Chantal leaves for the day, leaving me and Marco. Marco will probably say do something weird like refer to my state as a "country" and I will make fun of him.
5:00 Officially off work, but I stay to use the computer b/c I don't have one.
5:30-6 leave the office somewhere in there, maybe stopping at "Vons" to get groceries, or Target just because I can and I'm not used to it yet. When I to these places I see seaguls in the parking lots and pass a lot of halloween stores...did you know that California is like, WAY into Halloween?!? It's weird... This is also the time I use to call family members before it's too late.
7:00 at home to eat dinner (probably something chicken) and watch Jeopardy
7:30 - 9:30 bake something or clean something or watch something or call someone.
9:30 talk to patrick and go to bed.
If it's the wknd I will drive to Bakersfield or await Patrick's arrival. I like going to Bakersfield better b/c we get to do stuff that costs money like go to a USC game and watch them lose at home for the first time in 6 yrs, like last wknd. We also get to eat very well, esp last wknd because Patrick's brother Paul, the chef, was in town and cooked for us. When Patrick comes to Ventura it is significantly less exciting because we have no money to do things (ha!) and I lack a community of friends down here, so it's hard to be social. But we do get to cook and go to the beach, which is lots of fun. I'm going to try to establish the habit of going to B&N to do wedding planning when he's here.
That's another thing about Ventura...I'm in awe of all the stuff that's here. No longer do I have to go out of town to get something or go somewhere. Everything I want to get or see or do is right HERE!
...except family, snow, and choral music.
