Started in the Bay Area. Been working in PR for 11 years -- enterprise and consumer tech -- and have lived in a rural town in Idaho since 1998. By day I live the scrambled and fast-paced life of a comms consultant with a firm in Silicon Valley. The rest of the time I'm just a flip flop-wearin' wife and mom to two kids in a town where you have to hunt down the rare wireless connection, the only highway is two lanes, and the post office workers know me by name.

Double Life Escapades


Overall, the week in the Bay Area was a success. There is simply too much to share about my trip to capture it in a post or two.

But here are some "goodies:"
* I hauled about 10 lbs worth of potatoes back to Calif.(and even had to readjust baggage loads upon check in because they were so heavy) and then forgot to disperse them to their rightful owners. Now my mother-in-law has to dole them out.

* I found that mixing mass amounts of red bull & vodka and then enchiladas is a recipe for an indigestion nightmare.

* I found that I am still not immune to the blisters I get EVERY FREAKIN TIME I go back and wear my dress shoes for a trip.

* No matter how "mature" I get, I still love Marshall's. I know that may mortify one of my clients but I simply can't help it.

* I still <3 absolutely everyone in our office. Most the people are a little loopy, but that's what I love.

* Also, I learned i do not know my way around the Stanford campus at all. I met my cousin for lunch and got completely lost in a .5 mile area. Obviously, that campus was designed to keep out people with any sort of low IQ, even a low sense of direction IQ.

* We decided that we will be back for the week of Thanksgiving so we'll have more stories to tell another time...
