My friends that have cars in the city
my friends
tourists
North Beach
that Golden Gate Bridge
customer service reps at Apple
making a good decision
meeting a really awesome person
tall men
five inch heels

9/15/10

sleeping in
putting out three major fire alarms at the office
getting things done
looking forward to Wonder Dave's feature on October 6th
having a great VW staff that consistently challenges me to improve
having a staff
having a roommate
organizing my closet
finding all my underwear amidst several moving boxes
looking forward instead of backward

settling into a new apartment
finding a great new roommate
planning a house warming party
the challenge of putting together a media market kit
the challenge of dreaming in the arts
will
praying with my church
praying by myself
living prayer throughout my day
never feeling alone

rode my bike with no helmet today and didn't die
found a clean pair
ate the juiciest peach
sweat beads ran down my face like tears
sister did her PX90 workout and it was hilarious!
shower pressure felt great
radio commercials ran correctly - Job 1
Joyce Lee features with Vetted Word on July 7th - Job 2
Jobs 1 and 2
and finally...
the large dose of ambition that got me out of bed

6/23/10

A text this morning that reminded me of my faith
cup of coffee
clean sheets
the view from Hunters Point
lack of cars on third street
reciting a poem about my grandmother to my sister
having her love it
fifteen tweens crowding the T-line
fitting into a pair of size four slacks
wondering what my day will hold

6/24/10

poets (the dead one's and the one's alive and writing)
words you need to google
theories you need to google
google
summer dresses on cloudy days
'getting ready' with my sister... makeup/hair/shoes
being kissed
mornings after being on stage
new best friends that feel like old best friends
friends

6/25/10

Fridays
comfortable bed and bedding
Author Karen Armstrong
Hebrews 6:4
The New York Times/Weekend Arts
Apple Inc.
Pandora/Spotify
my dancing shoes
wearing everything on my sleeve
fear

6/28/10

In door treadmills just in front of two open windows
six-inch stilettos that change my equilibrium
knowing I made a fool of myself
knowing it doesn't really matter
a Christian community that feels extraordinarily safe/IKON
still growing up at 30
wholeheartedly loving my life
having a cup of coffee just before the headache starts
letting my sister sleep in
Facebook

7/1/10

Waking up to a sweet text message
starting a new month
attempting to attack my filling pile... one stack at a time
anticipating Joyce Lee's feature for July 7th!
reading books that are completely over my head
the will to understand
long sleeve cotton v-necks
sunrises
never used yoga mat
cycling for more than a week now without a helmet ....and not dying

7/2/10

Payday
friend visiting from NYC
one last visit with a friend moving to Washington DC
plans for the beach

Macintosh
240 supporters of Vetted Word
Viracocha
fancy words like 'touche'
a younger sister with a shoe fetish greater than mine
family that make you feel like a 10
friends that make you feel like a 10
outfits that make you feel like a 10
photographers, artist, missionaries, travelers, atheist, and those with faith, that I've come across in the last year
photographers, artist, missionaries, travelers, atheist and those with faith, that I will meet in the next

7/7/10

didactic poetry - poetry that teaches
epic poetry - long narratives
epitaphs - short pieces on tombstones
haiku - 5, 7, 5
tanka - 5, 7, 5, 7, 7
sonnet - 14 lines with rhyming words
free verse - because it's free from
epigram - a short poem that ends with a funny or stinging punchline
ballads - folklore or popular legends
learning the language, that helped me find the words, that lead me to love poetry

7/14/10

challenging conversations
interesting artist
smart single 30-something females
smart married 20-nothing females
happily married intellectuals
grumpy old farts
telling me I won't, because I shouldn't, since I haven't, and will probably fail
knowing that I will, because you've pointed out I never have
asking you to explain why
because I know that you've never really thought about it

7/15/10

Receiving a deed six years after signing on the dotted line
looking for new places to live in the greatest city in the planet
knowing that it's time for a big girl apartment
Vetted Word
the view from my sky rise office
sunny days
coffee from Martha's Brothers
new shoes
working downtown San Francisco
the stranger that found my Master Card on Market St... found me on LinkedIn and then went to my office and dropped off my CC

7/19/10

Sunny days in San Francisco
having my helmet back and knowing I might fall on my bike but at least I won't die
planning to make the next VW Showcase unique... even if takes up all of my time from here until the show
knowing that I can't change your mind about me
finally being ok with that fact
being able, willing, and stable
being neurotic, OCD, ADD, and a Latin female
getting really angry, because yes, I care that much
having that 'just fix it' gene
being 30
