Top 10 Reasons...

...why San Diego is bad ass:


  1. Perfect weather (78 degrees, sunny, no humidity)
  2. Beaches everywhere (Pacific Beach, La Jolla, Ocean Beach, etc.)
  3. Rental car guy hooks you up with bad ass car; no extra charge (Pontiac G6, sunroof, XM radio)
  4. Palm trees galore (everywhere)
  5. Regular in cafe buys breakfast for another regular customer so when the guy comes in it's already paid for (who does that?)
  6. Server lures you in off the street for a beer seconds after you were contemplating one after your vigorous shopping excursion (La Bocca)
  7. And then hangs with you for hours
  8. Introduces you to your new favorite beer: Peroni
  9. Close enough to LA where, if you're lucky, people will visit you
  10. It just is (period).

I haven't even gotten to the part where I was on USMC Camp Pendleton all day. And how lunch provided the best view ever. Who knew a Subway could be so enthralling? Hotties everywhere.

Now...time to hit the town.

    Hello? I've been a West Coaster for 8 years now. You think I'm leaving anytime soon? I think not.

    There is nothing, I repeat, NOTHING, hotter than a bunch of Marines. Semper Fi, baby.

    A bunch of marines can get pretty hot. However, I personally think that a bunch of US Navy sailors is HOTTER.

    I like brains with my brawn ;)

    I will say...I've been fortunate with my so called business trips.

    Agreed. Marines are hot hot hot...but I do prefer a bit of intellect, as well.

    Details on the rest of the adventure later...must work.

    Have you seen the tree hwere they grow the blondes yet? I heard that there is a big one like that and that the blondes are everywhere. However, the west coasters might have alot but they will never beat out a good Southern Belle!

    P.S. Are the bottoms of your feet sunburned yet?

    Sounds like a great trip...and you are missing some nasty, evil, ugly heat here...

    Enjoy!

    Oh, no. I'm back now. As of last night at 1a. Started to immediatly suffocate as I stepped off the plane.

    Nothing like going from a fresh, ocean breeze to nasty, thick, unbreathable pollen-filled funk.

    Ahhhhh...Nashville.

    Oh...and in regards to the sunburned feet. No, however, I did manage to puncture the bottom of my foot with an unknown sharp object on the beach Saturday night.

    Was rushed to the gas station by my knight in shining armor of the moment, who supplied me with all first aid items necessary, and spent 20 minutes with my foot in the sink nursing myself back to health.

    I did manage to walk several more miles that night (because I press on), however, I've had a limp for the past two days. I'm now hoping my foot doesn't rot off.

    ok. Tetanus shot? did you get one????

     

  • At August 22, 2005 10:14 AM, Blogger Stella said…

    Um, not in the last ten years or so. And I really don't want to go to the damn doc again. I was thinking it would be fine???

    According to my sources, "Although tetanus toxin affects several areas of the body, it acts primarily on the jaw muscles. Stiffness in the jaw, neck and limbs are early signs of this disease. Later the jaws become firmly closed, hence the common name for tetanus, lockjaw.

    As a tetanus patient becomes sicker, the back may arch and abdominal muscles may become rigid. Painful seizures may be triggered simply by turning on a light or by a slight noise. Swallowing may become difficult. Suffocation occurs when muscles involved with breathing are affected by the toxin."

    Even those who recover from tetanus do not build up lasting immunity to this disease. Another attack could occur unless a tetanus booster shot is received every 10 years.

    Good Luck!

    "oh...girl talk. sorry to interrupt...let me know when we're talking about rock and roll again..."

    (authors note: the above statement is EXTREMELY tongue in cheek.)

    If there was a way to get Jills' jaw from moving so much I think I could gather a vocal majority in favor of that. Not that everything Jill says is not extremely riveting or that every tangent very pertinent, but a person is given only so many words on this earth and I just don't want to see her use all of them up so quickly. However, if this comes at cost of sickness or grief then please talk as much as you please.

    I think of it as exercise for the face. Keeps me young and slender looking.
