Thoughts Racing 'Round My Balding Head

Ok, I'm exaggerating a bit, but let's just say...lighter head.  I noticed today, as the wind was blowing my hair around that the weight of my head/hair is much lighter.  Although most people still haven't noticed (which is good), I can now finish showering, drying and styling my hair in under 50 minutes. I used to take me at least 30 to 40 minutes just to blow dry my hair.  The whole showering, drying and styling was about 1 and a quarter to 1 and a half hours.  Good and bad.

The job is going ok, but I'd like things on my project to be progressing faster.  One of the things I'm practicing is...patience.  Yeah, not one of my strong points, but a valuable lesson. On a good note, everything is done, and I'll be on my way to Oracle Open World at the end of the month.  I booked my timeshare last year in SF in the hopes that I'd be able to go this year, so I'm really excited.

Last year the hotel cost was $330 a night, which I paid half of.  I got that price only because I booked early.  The closer to the convention start the higher the prices, up too $1200 a night!!!  So last year I booked the timeshare.  I figured, if I don't get to go next year, I could rent the timeshare and make money, vacation that week and not attend or cancel it early enough and not get a penalty.  So, this is pretty cool.  Moscone Center is walking distance from the timeshare, so I'm in the heart of everything.  Totally worth it.

I signed up for some killer classes, i.e. cloud, mobile, public sector, women's conference....It'll be so awesome!  This is a rare thing in State Service, so I'm really lucky and blessed. Since I have the Timeshare for a week, and I have Friday off...I'm spending 3 days just having fun in the City!  The only drawback???  I'm by myself.  Not that it would stop me or anything, but San Francisco is a city to be shared with someone special.  Ah well.

So many things going on...can you believe??? 4 fracking birthdays in 1 week.  Exhausting!  My wallet has taken such a huge it these past 2 months.  Ah well.  Tomorrow I pick up my new phone and repurpose my old one for my Beanster!  Let's Roll!!!
