Drought

I was rummaging through old ichat pics today and stumbled across this one of MUCH happier times

The drink I'm holding is called Kombucha. A Chinese fermented tea filled with probitotics and other great things that had my hair and nails growing like weeds, my immunity system impenetrable, and the energy of a school child on Mountain Dew. I had one every single day for the past 18 months, but it was recently pulled from the shelves to evaluate it's alcohol content. It's been 43 days since my last one......but who's counting. FML!

Late to the party....

But after 2 years in Salt Lake City, I finally made it to the Great Salt Lake today.


Better late then never.

Murder

Unfortunately, the list of things I am horrible at is quite extensive. For example:

1. lawn care
2. home care
3. pet care
4. human care
5. Life
ETC........

And for the latest edition to the list....I bring you, plant care



This poor shell of a plant once looked like this

Matt surprised me with this lil beauty when I returned from a trip. He thought it would give my office some life....that was until my boss made me take it home because under my care it had become an eyesore.

WOOPS!

Hater.

I am. A hater, through and through when it comes to Southern California.

"Like oh my god, how could you wear like jeans and like a black t-shirt today?!," the sterio-typical Cali girl voice touted to her friends from the safety of their car as I walked past. Some more unidentified, brainless mumbo jumdo was exchanged between the group, before they decided to turn their music up. "LET'S GET FUCKED UP!!! OOOOHHH LET'S GET FUCKED UP!!" the singer of the song yelled inbetween earth shaking baselines.

*shivers*

ANYWHO, my job requires me to come to this souless pit all too often. And so it is with a heavy heart and an upset stomach that I write to you from Newport Beach, California.

I played this trip pretty low key.

Had some meetings


Went on a road trip of Orange County


Watched some of the US Open

(Guy in the black shirt is the owner of Electric, No big deal......)

Had dinner at my usual OC spot


Visited a friend and saw the huge promo budget my newest brand has


OH! and had some more meetings at a tradeshow


Good news is I'm scheduled to be home in just 5 hours, dinner is on it's way


And I'm proudly wearing my favorite ring that I illegaly smuggled past airport security

Take it from me once, shame on me. Take it from me twice....not gonnna happen

-Love you guys

U-da-ho

Oh, our founding fathers would be proud.

Anywho, when Matt surprised me with the fact that he'd gotten the whole weekend off AND planned an entire 3-day getaway for us, I didn't have the heart to tell him I had a deadline that would require me to be in front of the computer all of Saturday and Sunday.

So, I packed my Nixon catalog and laptop up, and we headed North.


Lava Hot Springs turned out to be nothing more then an overcrowded tourist trap. So we decided to turn left when all of the signs said to go right, in search of our own adventure. GREAT idea, because what we found were secluded creeks and reservoirs perfect for 2 days of

camping


Rising with the sun


Floating


And gourmet dinners


But after 2 days of "roughing it", neither of us could ignore the temptation of civilization that was Lava Hot Springs.

A hot meal


Shopping


And joining fine people like these

(heehee) to float the local river.

That was yesterday. Today, it's off to Newport Beach, CA. Wish me luck.

-Love, Amber
