Hey hey everyone! How's life? Due to a scheduling error I've had 3 catering jobs in 7 days, in addition to my regular job. Last one is tomorrow and then I'm planning on hiring someone to clean my house and sleeping for the entire weekend. Maybe going to see a movie finally?
I know I rarely post, but I need some advice from the West Coast. I'm planning a trip to California for a wedding, and afterwards taking a week to drive from San Francisco to San Diego with my mom and sister. Any advice on certain places to stop along the way? I'm from CT and have only been to San Francisco.
Oooh if you're really taking a week then the Pacific Coast Highway is the way to go! Hit Monterrey and Big Sur along the way! If you just Google "Pacific Coast Highway Trips" and similar I bet there are some great mapped out plans, too.
There's lots of entertainment options--Disneyland, Universal Studios, but both are going to be full-day outings. Wineries if you and your sister are of age and into that. But yes, the 101 is a really good option.
When are you going? Bring layers, because it's going to be cooler in San Francisco then it will be down here.
HI! Most of my life has been pretty shitty as of late, but today! Today!!!!
Today I womaned up and things are FINALLY COMING IP AMBER (to steal a line from Emily and Jules) gave 18 months' notice (quitting my job dec 2016). Asked for (and received!) a 27% raise. It sounds like I'm getting all of my money back from the gym that accidentially stole $1600 from me! I'm seeing my aunt tomorrow & Saturday (if the weather cooperates we'll go on the boat!), and on Sunday I'm seeing my dear Sinead who I HABENT seen since cinco de mayo. I also got the all-clear to close the office on July 3 in observance of the 4th so I can celebrate with my brother in town with no worries about the office.
All of this has been stressing me out for the last two or three weeks at a minimum -- three months for the raise -- and I am ordering some celebratory dinner and drinking an entire bottle of wine.
My only real accomplishment of late has been the production of Fandom of Thrones, a bizarre fandom RPF inspired by saucydiva sending me a bunch of unrelated tumblr prompts while drunk, and then I put all the prompts into one story and added a couple of others because of course I did. It is not as well plotted out as Threat Level Midnight, but then again, Threat Level Midnight is probably the best thing I've ever written.
Other than that, no real news. I adored Inside Out, and I've started having stress nightmares about my new job, which I don't even start for a couple of weeks. So that's been fun.
BING BONG NO WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS ARE YOU TRYING TO MAKE ME CRY CANDY TEARS
Threat level midnight is amazing and fandom of thrones is so much more high concept and the end where [spoiler] [spoiler] [spoilers] was so unexpected BUT I SHOULD HAVE GUESSED but apparently i'm a dummy.
In your stress dreams about your new job, am I there? you should picture me there, and taht will make things better, or worse probably. But i will ALWAYS be on your side.
hey everyone! How is everyone? Is everyone enjoying summer ? Is everyone loving summer tv shows? What's everyone watching? I haven't been watching much of anything.

I'm sorry about the stress dreams though! Is there anything you can do to reduce your stress about the new job?
