Scenes from the streets...

...and inside the massive Moscone center where I'm attending the salesforce.com Dreamforce conference.

This event is so wild, I know it's nerdy but I've definitely been drinking the kool-aid this week and am so excited/impressed by everything this conference and company has to offer!

New job?

Instead of coming back east I think I'm going to stay in cali for a bit and get one of the crazy/hilarious jobs advertising on the street.  What do you do for a living? Oh just stand around with a giant balloon attached to my backpack.  NBD!

next stop, san francisco...

but for now I'm in the Denver airport chomping away at an overpriced slice of 'za that was one of the few "safe" choices I could find without going to a sit down restaurant!

I flew Frontier airline here and it was great!! Would def recommend it if you're coming to Colorado or just have to make a stop on your way across the country.  I volunteered to gate check my bag...since the aftermath of Irene meant completely packed flights...and it totally paid off! Not only did I get to board early but they also gave me tv/movie for free (they have directTv in flight) and my bag will be waiting for me at the gate in SF. So easy!  Oh and frontier comes around with warm chocolate chip cookies after beverage service, how exciting is that?!

Say hello to misty, my arctic fox travelling buddy (she's just chilling at the end of the wing and on the tail)...wish I was out there with her instead of sitting next to a lady that smelled like dirty soap. Ick.

Looked like it was a gorgeous day in Denver...need to get back here for a trip! Love that the airport looks like cirque du soleil dancers are waiting inside to welcome you :).

Can't wait to be in California!!

a stroll down memory {card} lane

typically i upload my pictures from my camera as soon as i get home.
sometimes i keep a couple on my camera just for smiles.
every once in a while i just plain forget and pictures get 'stuck' on my memory card for ages...especially when i leave my camera in the closet to sulk.

so here's what you've been missing in the past few weeks...or months.  eek!
epically long picture posts begins now:

 we went to Phillies Picnic in the Park! So cool...well really like a million degrees that day, but really fun experience to be out on the field.  oh yea, just so happened to have a root canal that day, yuck...hence the awkward crooked smile below.  401 love!!
 tried out the miniature effect on my elph, fun fun!!




 we went to the lovely wedding of our triathlon friends tom & jess..


 michael wore a bow tie, which he felt uncomfortable about at first...even brought a 'back up' option...but i think he rocked it!  apparently he decided to try to eat me..

 sat with some cool kids...lauren & chris...
on another random day, i did something weird and mz took a picture of it, go figs...
 woosh...and then we were swept away to rhody for a long weekend that included a 10 mile road race (go us!) and a trip to the Breakers (newport mansion)...




 we also were surprised with a delicious Brickley's ice cream cake and an awesome bride & groom biking cake topper for an early anniversary celebration.  thanks sistas! wish i had that cake right now, i'd eat the entire thing!!

what else...oh yea, this little guy turned THREE! seriously?! wow, so old, can't believe it!! he celebrated by eating as many fruit snacks as possible, pretty impressive...

 alex decided it would be fun to drive on the lawn...excellent chauffeur service
 in between triathlon training took place plus lots of eating and drinking...but nothing else photo worthy...so that's it!
california pictures will be making an appearance on the blog starting next week (i leave Monday morning, please don't mess that up Irene!)...but they'll be phone pics and mobile blogs for the most part.  i'm sure in another 4 or 5 months after i get back i might get some of the actual pics off of my memory card ;-).

have a great weekend...stay safe with all of this crazy hurricane activity going on!!
