Yesterday, coming from my pole dancing class, I’d parked about 2 blocks away from the building in which the class is held.

When I had driven into the city it had been a “pretty day,” but in the 2.5 hours I had been inside – WOW. It had become ~unbelievably~ beautiful.

The class is in the Cow Hollow area of San Francisco - which means you see the Golden Gate Bridge, sailboats, marina, etc – and so I started to walk slower….and slower….just amazed at the beautiful day.

I walked so slowly, in fact, that the 2 minute walk took me 15 minutes. And when I got to the car, I had a $40 parking ticket!

So, when asked today by a friend who is “enjoying” (not) the drizzly, cold, nasty New Jersey weather how the weather was in San Fran, I said that, in fact, it was not only gorgeous, it was a “$40 gorgeous” day!!

You know - I’m such a lucky Bond grrl :-)

Today, here in Bond Grrl land, it was grey this morning, but it’s lovely now. Yah yah, I’m supposed to be going to the gym, but I was up in the Russian River helping out a friend going thru a divorce (no work to do? Don’t obsess — get out of the house!), and so I decided, WTH, I would head up a bit farther North and go to my fav winery (Hanna — http://www.hannawinery.com/).

So here I am - the tasting room gal knows me - so I’ve had a couple tasting glasses (gratis) of their new chardonnay, with some nice crackers, sitting on a big redwood picnic table (alone - it’s weekday) in the wine fields.

The crows and sparrows are calling and swooping, there’s a little highway traffic from 101 … but otherwise, it’s me, the crackers, the grapes, and the Chard.

They had a midweek 40% off special and so I bought (yeah. Credit cards. Bad Bond Grrl) some wine for my James for the holidaze he is going to LOVE.

Instead of getting stressed out re “no job, etc.” - except for the buying wine on cards part - this is the Bond Grrl life.

Take a break when it’s offered. Forget the hustle. In a month, it’ll be rainy and cold. Glass’a chard, me, the wine grapes, the sun, the birds.

The gym can wait another day :-)
