Meme: In Care of Cin

It's Tuesday, and although it's a beautiful day in San Jose, California--here in Santa Cruz, at work, it's dark and dreary and sprinkling outside.  I'm freezing cold.  The air vents in my office are giving out cold air.  My hair is still a little wet, I have cramps, and my head hurts.  I wish I was at home really.  Oh well, might as well do a Meme! 

                          

I got this from Cin: 

Meme: Just Because Dawn Seems to be Slowing Down...haha

1. A mani/pedicure or mountain biking? Definitely a mani/pedicure, although mountain biking does sound a bit fun; but with my luck and lack of experience I'd probably fall in a ravine.

2. A day at the beach or a day on the slopes? I don't ski, so it would be a day at the beach!  If I was at the slopes however, I would be making snow men, or be sitting at the ski tavern/clubhouse with a drink by the fire like a snow bunny.  I've never done that, but it looks like fun. 

3. Dinner at a 5 star restaurant or homecooking at a diner? Dinner at a restaurant overlooking the ocean with husband.  The restaurant needs to have crab cakes on their menu.  I home cook enough! 

4. Coffee and a good book at a coffee shop or a cold drink and a good book in the park? Cold drink, good book in the park.  I probably wouldn't be reading though; I like to people watch. 

5. Musical theater a là Broadway or a movie in the theater? Give me Broadway!  I love musicals! 

6. An evening at the opera or a rock concert? Rock concert!  -but, I've never been to an opera.  It must be fun to dress up and see one-I'd like to do that one day...  Okay, I'm torn on this one. 

7. Manilow or Metallica? There is no way I would attend a concert of Manilow.  One can take so much of "Mandy" or "Cococabana..."  Not a real fan of Metallica, but I'd rather see them then Barry any day. 

I got another email from my cousin Manny.  He is having great fun telling my brother's sons all about Azorean culture.  He has them already believing that they will be asked to participate in the bullfights tonight, and got them to eat "lapas" (limpets)  It's a shellfish.  (eek!!)  I'm sure they'll be talking about this summer vacation for many summers to come. 

Well, I'm off to break the reception desk.  Our receptionist was gone for 3 1/2 weeks with the shingles.  She came back yesterday looking very pale.  (She is pale as it is already, but yesterday she looked like a ghost.)  She isn't here today.  Duh...surprise!  Why did she even bother coming in yesterday?  Boss lady finally told her she should go on disability.  I'm guessing what boss lady said had something to do with the fact why she isn't here today.  Duh.. 

                                     

I know..  You are probably thinking, why in the hell does Julie have these pictures up on her journal?  I don't know either...  They just make me laugh.
