This post is so boring it doesn't even deserve a title

I'm kind of disappointed. I thought Gossip Girl started at 8:00 tonight, but I guess I have to wait another hour. Is it wrong that I find myself so obscenely excited about this show? You know, the one targeted at 12 year olds? I was never much into the OC, but this brings back memories of 90210, which, to this day, is still one of my favorites. Saturdays have been known to disappear entirely whenever SoapNet plays a marathon.

I have been slammed at work. Which is a good thing - I like being busy. But even after I leave the office, my mind works overtime, the wheels in the brain keep on turning. I skipped the gym tonight for some much needed R and R, and, oh, to plan for my mom to come visit tomorrow.

My mom is flying in tomorrow night, and then on Friday we are driving up to Santa Barbara and Santa Ynez for a weekend of wine tasting. This is my third time doing this trip now, and I am so excited to share it with her. I know she is going to love it.

I feel like this whole fall is a season of trips, though, and that the season is already slipping away from me. After this adventure, I have a major work event; and then a week later, I am off to Boston for my friend Maria's bachelorette party. A month after that I fly home again for Thanksgiving; a week after Thanksgiving, I fly to Cabo for Maria's wedding. Two weeks later it's back home for Christmas, back to LA for New Years, and I'll wonder where the hell the year went and how on earth it's possible that 32 could be just around the corner. Or in sixth months. Hmm, stress much?

No wonder I need to escape with the CW; it should stand for Chill, Woman.
