Ramblings

My thoughts are so all over the place. This probably could be 10 blog posts but I am just going to do it in one.

Dogs and Kids- Love my dogs and kids. My dogs are like my kids but they don't talk, they just paw on you and drive you crazy if they want something. Kids whine and talk to me and often they talk back too. I have 3 dogs, one needs to learn how to go to the bathroom outside. I am slowly going crazy but that's ok. They are my dogs and kids.

Starting school again- this may be unnecessary but there are some things, I cannot learn on my own. I am going for my Digital Media Certificate from SDSU's extension program. It is only a once a week thing but it is important to keep your brain fresh. The series of 5 classes encompasses a couple video classes, SEO, Advance Social Media tools. This will either take me to Christmas or next June (not sure yet).

My travel bug-  I have this travel bug and I should be itching it. It is still there. I want to do my Paris trip...but of course there is this thing called real life. Dogs, Kids, Husband, getting a real job. Next summer, I am slated to go to the big island of Hawaii. This is fine but I still will miss my croissants and macarons. I still have my Rick Steves' Postcards from Europe book to live vicariously through. PS. I am doing San Francisco after Christmas so maybe I can get influences to tide me over.

Music- yay! I went to 2 concerts within a couple of weeks of each other. Phoenix and then Belle and Sebastian. Phoenix, I wish I was closer but it was pretty cool seeing the light show and when you sang in French.  Belle and Sebastian were fun. I mentally prepared to go up to LA and back, but not being in GA was well worth it.

The Social Network movie- Great movie...great score. I am not sure what I think of Mark Zuckerberg. I can say if he didn't take the ball and run with it, someone else would of eventually beat him to it and it wouldn't be his. And maybe now I am tempted to get some business cards to read "I'm CEO, bitch" (just kidding, but that is pretty funny). Startups are hit and misses. The public is fickle, just look at the thoughts of the New Gap Logo (my take, if they left the box and used the current font it would be accepted).

Vegas baby- I am going to Vegas a week from yesterday. I will be in my element for 3 days. This is for the Blogworld conference. I think the main thing is I learn something but it is the connections that are really priceless. I don't usually have many chances for a hall pass.

My examiner.com experiment- I signed on the write for examiner.com to write on the topic of Twitter. I have average once a week. More of an exercise of getting myself out there and getting a taste of writing in the third person. I cannot blog and never was the reporter type. So if you have a chance look me up. http://www.examiner.com/social-media-in-san-diego

Trapeze part 2- Last Jan. (I remember because it was my husband's birthday and I made him watch me). A bunch of San Diego twitters and I did the trapeze class at Circus Fund. It was scary, exhilarating and exciting all-in-one. The feeling was so crazy weird. Anyways, I plan on taking water and this time and mentally planning to have some energy and do part 2. 

A job- I brainstorm everyday on this one. Time management, what do I want to do that makes me happy? Well my job ideas are pretty creative-centric. I am not one to bean count or do mundane work. So my options are still out there. I guess ideally, I want to work in music, travel or art-related things. This will come to me- I can feel it.
