I think the goal of blogging every day is gone. I missed 5 days while my computer was down, and now with my son here, I’m missing more days. He has his ACT this Saturday, and we have to go out of town for him to take it. Hard to believe that there were no seats locally. That’s what happens when you postpone signing up for weeks and weeks. He didn’t see the importance in signing up right away. But it will give me a chance to spend some time taking photos in a new area. I have to catch some sunset photos on the ocean. I’ll be posting the photos when I get back.

Hmm…

You Belong in Los Angeles

Whether you’ll admit it or not, a huge part of you likes being in the spotlight.And you may just have enough star quality to make it big in LA! Even if you don’t become famous, you still belong in a place where you can get a year round tan.

Where Does Your Inner Californian Belong?

Now, if I want to cure cancer, enjoy looking at the ocean and not getting in it and stick to being bookish…

You Belong in San Francisco

You crave an eclectic, urban environment. You’re half California, half NYC. You’re open minded, tolerant, and secretly think you’re the best. People may dismiss you as a hippie, but you’re also progressive, interesting, and rich!

Where Does Your Inner Californian Belong?

I wouldn’t bank my future on one of these quizzes, but it makes me wonder if I took a wrong turn somewhere. Still, I love science, especially chemistry. And, I love artistic type things, like writing and photography.

Your Career Type: Artistic

You are expressive, original, and independent. Your talents lie in your artistic abilities: creative writing, drama, crafts, music, or art.You would make an excellent: Actor - Art Teacher - Book Editor Clothes Designer - Comedian - Composer Dancer - DJ - Graphic Designer Illustrator - Musician - Sculptor The worst career options for your are conventional careers, like bank teller or secretary.

What’s Your Ideal Career?

I guess that’s one way to look at it. My son is finally here, but I’m not ready for another person’s mess. He’s a bit of a slob. I don’t mind the mess when it stays in one room (his), but I do mind when the mess covers the entire house. Apparently, cleanliness isn’t that important at his dad’s house, so he doesn’t have a neatness habit.

Two of my cats have begun their summer hibernation. They don’t like strangers, so they hide under the bed or in a closet all day long for the entire time my son is here. They hide like that anytime someone is here.

Hell yeah!

Your Stripper Song Is

Super Freak by Rick James “That girl is pretty wild now The girl’s a super freak The kind of girl you read about In new-wave magazine” Freaky? Yes. But you’re also pretty darn funny.

What Song Should You Strip To?

And for your listening pleasure…

It has been an odd day. Mostly because I have been asking odd questions of people. I’ve been a bit disappointed though because many of the things I have asked of people, I’m not getting.

I asked someone I know to be a coach to help me as a coach, but he’s too busy and passed me along to someone else. I don’t know how that will work out, but I will just wait and see. I’m disappointed though.

I made a unusual proposal to a friend of mine. He also turned me down once he found out what it really was. I think he was considering my proposal when he thought he knew what it was. Oh well. More disappointment.

I have been taking on asking people for things, help, etc. Especially those things I think they will say “no” to. It seems that my requests are occurring as unusual and odd. I’m probably being a freak in their worlds.

I noticed the “freak magnet” category as I was picking where to put this post. I still have that happen, but they seem much less freaky than they used to. I may be showing up as the freak now. But then I always admit that I am.

It’s amazing what extra rest can do. No more sore throat. A bit achy still. Just in time for the next few days of probably little sleep.

I think my body is finally getting sick. I have been battling a sore throat for six days. Now my sinuses are involved in the whole thing. I’m looking forward to spending the afternoon getting some much needed rest. I spent last week not getting enough sleep.

Not quite yet. I haven’t recovered from the disruption in my schedule. It probably shouldn’t take so long, but there are so many things I have to do to catch up on. Often that means not getting other stuff done.

Well, it’s no surprise that I’m tired after the weekend. I had a lot less sleep than normal. I was more awake earlier today than now.

San Francisco was chilly. The winds pick up in the afternoons bringing the warmer air across the bay, and it’s rather cold. It was extremely windy on the highway home yesterday. The winds coming across the bay were strong.

The weekend was good. I had a friend who is in the program in San Francisco ask me about my weekend. It’s a different experience as a coach. Mostly it was a weekend of a lot of work to be done and knowing where to be when. As someone who is making the weekend work for those in the program, I just don’t have the same experience as the people in the program. I did appreciate the conversations about other leadership roles from those in those roles. Those who spoke are people I already know because they are from San Jose, but I didn’t know the things they said about themselves.
