My wife Joy is a womens’ jewelry & accessories designer (which balances the geek in me out quite nicely) and she has just launched her new site. Her jewelry & hair designs have been paired with some of the most respected & sought-after names in the fashion industry, such as Oscar de la Renta, Zac Posen and Reem Acra. You can check it out at http://joypardifazzone.com or through FB. Throw her a “like” on FB to help us spread the word. Who says technology and fashion don’t mix?
I haven’t had 3 weeks off of anything since summer break in college. 1 week here and their for vacation, maybe stretched it to 10 days occasionally, but the email leash was never really off. Here I am 3 days into my “break” and I am finding myself mostly just filling time. The good news is that changes tomorrow. So far, I did do a kick ass job on organizing my contact list, and it is now in sync between by iPhone, computer and Yahoo account. The gutters on our house are spotless (that was a real treat). We dominated the Gilroy outlets over the weekend and celebrated victory with a little In-and-Out Burger. I am catching up with lots of people via Facebook/LinkedIn etc. Last night, I had a great time with my close work friends over some beers and dinners (thanks everyone for coming, it was really great to see all of you!). But tomorrow, tomorrow things really get fun! Joy and I fly out tomorrow night on a redeye to Puerto Rico and then on to Tortolla. We are meeting some close friends for a week of boat camping….we rented a 47 foot powercat (perhaps the ugliest boat known to man) and will be cruising the BVIs for the week. Gilligan’s Island, here we come!
After that trip, I am back to San Jose for a couple of days before heading back to the east coast to spend a week with my parents, gram, sister, brother-in-law, and nephews. I don’t think I have spent more than 48 hours in the town where I grew up in more than 10 years (now that I think about it, that coincides with the time I started my most recent job).
After that, I want to do something really fun with my wife (just the 2 of us) somewhere on the west coast. Not sure what that will be yet, any suggestions for a good 2-3 day long trip or activity?
