Wendy's Excellent Canadian Adventure

10,829. That's how many pennies I had accumulated in my big glass penny jar. Do you know how much 10,829 pennies weigh? If you know, please tell me -- I'll tell you, it's damn heavy. For once, Coinstar was worth it.

Not much to report from the work front, except I got the once over from Jason Lewis, aka Smith Jerrod on Sex and the City. I have to admit, I got a little sweaty. After all, I've seen all this boy has to offer (and you have to, if you've seen the show).

Busy moving... should be done on Wednesday, I hope -- I can't actually see the Hollywood sign from my balcony (it's on the other side of the building, alas), but I can see the Starbucks around the corner. Caffeine only a stone's throw away...

:) Go to sleep, dream beautiful dreams... send love and good thoughts to my friend Mary who lost her father recently and whose mother is going through a tough illness... think some happy twinkly purple sequiny thoughts about Judi... give yourself a big hug and a kiss and have a scoop of ice cream - with sprinkles.

Much love to you all -- I won't tell you how to vote, but please make sure you do. It's so important, especially for those of you in the "swing" states (hint hint, my OHIO and FLORIDA friends...) - I just got my California voter registration card and am ready to put it into action.

The rain here has ended, and we're left with crisp fall-like weather. Quite unexpected, and very much appreciated. I'm really excited about moving, and in a matter of weeks, I get to travel to San Francisco for the first time in 13 years for Thanksgiving. Maybe I'll look up some old friends while I'm there...

Off to bed -- have to get up early and get my car fixed. Ahhh - the necessities of life. A thought here -- if your bed is not the slice of heaven it ought to be, get your fanny out and buy something special to make it fabulous: a foam eggshell mattress, a new set of sheets, soft fluffy pillows... splurge on the good stuff!!

Enough from my soap box :) Sweet dreams and sweeter daydreams!!

Namaste...
