What is going on with this crazy weather here in Suppose to be Sunny San Diego!? I could see dark clouds but had no idea it was going to hit with such a storm. It is finally here and just as I am about to head out with a girl friend for a bite to eat. I received a gift certificate to the cheesecake factory, go figure, so am going to use part of it this evening with my girlie, the one who introduced me to Flat Stanley, remember that! So the day flew by and I didn’t realize how many things I have to do before I leave. The wedding plans are done and those were not an issue, believe it or not but now with all the packing, I realize there is more to bring and pack than I thought. This is where a list comes in handy!! Lists are my favorite thing in the world, especially when you don’t want to forget anything! I had a little bit of a freak out when the wedding coordinator contacted me and mentioned that she was reviewing my file and noticed that we are set for the beach ceremony and not the gazebo. I wanted the gazebo and thought that was what we were planning for. They are both beautiful but the gazebo is better for a smaller wedding, as it is quaint and offers more intimacy, with only 21 people in attendance. She mentioned that there was a couple getting married in the gazebo at 5:30 and our wedding is scheduled for 4:30. ahhhh…. anyways she said she was going to figure it out and make it work, which I knew she would, since that is her job! I got an e-mail back that she worked it out so thank gosh!! I didn’t really think twice about it but it was the first issue that came up. Good news, it only lasted a few minutes and was resolved! We got lucky on that one!! So anyways everything with the planning is done and just packing is left. Oh what to pack… It is hard to imagine wearing a swim suit when I can hear the rain pouring down outside!!
I met with a client this morning, actually another one doing the SD show… there are going to be a ton of girls doing that show! After we worked with her on posing, the day began… go go go. I was able to get in all my meals, because I had them prepared yesterday.

I took today off from training and kept it with a 40 minute walk this a.m. with Big Bad Bruno.
Has this every happened to you…. Yesterday, while preparing my fish, I was seasoning it with no salt seasoning and the plastic cap fell off and sure enough 1/2 the seasoning fell onto my fish. I scraped it the best I could, broiled it and have some crispy tilapia! I must say, it was an accident and definitely too much seasoning but it almost acted like a breading… Hey here comes a new recipe, just kidding, I wouldn’t recommend that but if it happens to you, go with it, cook it and enjoy it!
Sounds like the rain has stopped. I better take off my workout clothes and put on something else to go out to eat in. If it was up to me I would live in my workout clothes but I guess there comes a time when you have to change it up, right!?
Hope everyone had a great day. I will be in touch tomorrow.
