finally heading home.

Austin was a mix of craziness, frustration, and fun, but I am so ready to head home. My flight is at 6:45pm, so I plan on doing a last call for eating/drinking. When I get back to SF, I'm going into detox mode. We're talking salads and veggies all day, every day, and no alcohol. The thought of drinking is making me ill, which should tell you how bad it was here. It wasn't even like I was drunk every day - it was just that I did so much casual drinking throughout the day. I feel unhealthy, bloated and gross. Event planning makes it really hard to stay healthy. When you're on the road, it's just so hard to eat well. Plus, there are so many meals out, so many late nights, it gets a little insane. I'll be happy to be back in San Francisco, living my normal day-to-day life. At least for two weeks, before I travel again =)

The best thing about this trip was getting out of my own head a little - I barely had any time to think. Of course, now that that's over, I want to plan my next life adventure and take a long hard look at what needs to change. Some things running through my head:

  • I need to lose weight and get healthier. I need to stop drinking like a fish. These are all priority numero uno when I'm back in SF.
  • TOJ. I'm trying to figure out what to do with him. I'm happy - really happy - about the way things are going, but sometimes I just have these little nagging insecurities. I think where I've netted out for now is that I just want to enjoy the ride with him. I don't want to put pressure on things or go crazy about the "relationship" - I just want to take things as they come. I'll talk more about this in a later post, but I think that he is good for me and the way he approaches relationships is good for me. It's very low-drama and high-honesty. I think I need that.
  • Sex education - I've been slacking on my game. I'm volunteering with SFSI, though, for their spring class, so that's a plus. I need to get my head back in that game.
  • Blogging - I really want to start a new venture, but I'm so torn as to what it should be. Should it be sex education-focused? Or maybe I want to be a local blogger - talking about SF and things to do around town. Then there's the whole 'twenty-something navel-gazing' blogging that I do here - maybe I want to amp it up a bit. I've also been thinking a lot about all these Martha Stewart wannabes that are around my age, blogging pictures of home decor and fancy meals. I know I could never do that (nor do I want to), but I keep thinking of a productivity/organization blog for the disorganized, chaotic 20-something. It's an idea I'm floating around.
Anyhow, I'm going to go eat my last supper, which will consist of Torchy's tacos, Hey Cupcake!, and Amy's ice cream. Goodbye, food! I will miss you!
