Sweet Home Temecula





It is hot as hell here!

But I digress. And oh, there will be a lot of digressing here.

Weather first. It's v. warm all the time. At night it's really nice, we eat outside every night. In fact, we don't even have a table inside, its outside under our gazebo. I found a great hanging light in Oceanside that lights up out little outdoor dining room at night.

During the day, things are a little different. Luckily, central air is only a click away. It hits 80 by 9 and tops out from 95-105. Folks down here don't refer to the "electric" or "pg&e" bill, they call it the "air conditioning" bill. I'll post it when we get our first one.

When one moves, there are little details that are so easily forgotten. I've found a grocery store, well two actually. I know where the closest Target is. But what about a hair place? Dentist? Nail lady? Doctor?

Well, I have the important ones down, hair and nails. Still working on the others.

And oh my gosh is gas cheap down here or what?! I heard in Northern California it has gone down to the $3 mark. That's really good for the Bay Area. I pay $2.67. Shut the front door.

Work is also going well, the two ladies in the office are nice. We are close to hitting our numbers. Sales are tracked every day and we post grids and tables all over the office. The girls have also started tracking something else. They tally the number of times I say "hella." I think it's hella dumb. I use it instead of the f word or other colorful words. But whatever. If I say it less then 19 times in a week I get a "little present" from my boss. I say if I can sell hella, I can say hella.
