Hello Sweet City!

“You’re packing those?” Ron asks as I arrange my clunky rollerblades in the bottom of my suitcase.

Heck, yeah.

Not only am I’m packing my blades, I’m bringing my Yoga Works membership card, my frozen yogurt “buy 10 get 1 free” punch card, his massage certificate for an aromatherapy session, a $5 coupon for In-N-Out Burger, phone numbers for my hairstylist, eyebrow wax lady, and nail salon, gifts for my friends who are so kind to take me in, and . . . how can I stuff you in here? I think, looking back and forth from my suitcase to my dog. Callie loves California. Almost as much as me.

Somehow I pack everything (‘cept the dog) in a carry-on bag and a purse (well, a super big purse). But I dunno. My suitcase zips so tight there’s not even room for a paperclip.

“You’re going for two whole weeks,” Ron says, “use the big suitcase and check it.”

Good idea.

Okay folks, I’m heading home sweet home to LA – my favorite place in the whole world. I’m buckling down to work on a book project, but saved plenty of time to catch up with good friends and frequent my old haunts. (Sidenote: this “book project” has been in the works for two years and I’m almost done with a first draft…can I just say I have the greatest admiration for those who have written and published a book. Whew!). Anyway, I’ll be blogging over at EatWasaFeelGood.com for the next couple of weeks. I’ll probably be checking in with some posts on Roughly Speaking too (that is, when I’m not buried in the law library or rollerblading on the bike path).

Bu-Bye!
