Create Orange County

Day 1
The adventure began today. After getting up at the crack of dawn, 3:15!, I made it to the airport on time and even managed to park in a decent area close to the terminal. But when you're hauling a mother load of art supplies in your back like some colorful Atlas, even a short walk feels like a mile. Insert stylishly sensible shoes ad for www.Anthropologie.com here! 

I had a quiet flight to Dallas and with narry a minute to spare then hopped my flight to Irvine. Oh my goodness! The weather! 

Fabulous!!

Enough, Staci. No one wants to hear how you've landed in paradise and are staying at a lovely Hyatt and are currently sitting in a nice bar lounge enjoying an overpriced glass of Sauvignon blanc and grilled shrimp so succulent it would make you weep ;-)

Where was I. Oh yeah. Rock star moment. So I get into the shuttle at the airport to head to my hotel and it happened..."who was it?!!" You ask. "Who did you see? Brad and Anjie? Lyle Lovett? Who!!"

Get this. It was me. A lady on the shuttle recognized me from online and said she is taking all of my classes. I was speechless. I know, right? When am I ever at a loss for words? I was so flattered. It always amazes me when people will spend their hard earned pennies to hear something I have to say or teach. Or to purchase a piece of my soul to hang in their home. I'm just the girl who walks around in pajamas until noon or talks with spinach in her teeth. 

So the trip's off to a good start. Stay tuned. 

The universe is kind. 
Smile at your neighbor. 

Color me Humbled.
