Where to find me.

Dear Friends & Family,
I had no idea how many techonologically fun things I would come to learn about in SF which of course lies just north of Silicon Valley (the home of information technology). As I explored the web and learned some tricks from new friends, I found great new ways to stay in touch:

This webpage is where I share all sorts of things: words, websites I like, videos, pictures, etc. It is called a "Tumblr" page.

The link below is where I will start housing photo albums to share with you and whomever cares to take a peek!

This one is my newest fascination... It is called "Twitter" and allows you to say what you are doing, at any given time, and as often as you like. Basically anything goes, as long as I keep it to 140 characters or less!

I update these 3 websites often and hope you will check them when you can and e-mail me a note (megahn.morris@gmail.com) if the spirit moves you!

Love, Meg

P.S. Nannie, let me know if you have any issues using these! On our next call, I will show you how to mark them "Favorites" on your computer. :-)

Into the great wide open

As I prepare for my interview which is tomorrow morning, I find multi-tasking to be the most soothing exercise. While importing CDs into itunes and folding clean laundry, I am reading the Labor Bureau's description of event planning, trying to inspire more questions for me to ask the CMO and Global Client Programs Managern about the position at hand -- Global Client Programs Coordinator. I have been mulling over my own abilities, desires and needs for the past several days, so I feel prepared to answer questions that they pose to me. But I want to be sure to ask insightful and challenging questions right back so they understand just with whom they are dealing.

GOD knows his timing. Though I craved excitement over this long weekend, to distract me from my anticipation, I was blessed with time alone, to rest. After two nights of sound sleep, the quiet excitement of an old friend found me Sunday afternoon. I went over to Lauren's new apartment to get the dime tour and jaw wag for a while. After we caught up on the news of our worlds, I went home to find my neighbor Paul about to go to a bofire on Ocean Beach. With the fuel of my good conversation with Lawlee, I jumped on the opportunity to meet new people and get sand in my shoes.

Today Sadie and I ventured back out to Ocean Beach with new friends who feel increasingly like old ones. Melissa and Brent Jordan rode ahead of us on their scooter and Sadie and I met them straight in front of the number 26 stairs. How people met up before cell phones, I remember not. We watched dogs splash in the cold waves, beside brave polar bear children. The sun was especially warm since it didn't have to fight the wind to reach our skin this afternoon. The sun zapped me and Sadie was worn out by more tennis ball throwing than even she could handle.

Back to brainstorming these challenging questions. Love to you! -Meg

It's a small world after all

Saturday night I went to 111 Minna, a hip art gallery + bar lounge, for a Matador Travel party that raised money for CORO. There was a painter creating an interpretive painting of the city using the hot peachy colors of a dusk horizon. That movie The Neverending Story was being silently projected on the high gray wall behind the main bar -- Falcor was flying through when we arrived. The people-watching was impeccable, sassy outfits, colorful heels and men in tight(pant)s.

Just before heading home at the reasonable hour of midnight, I spot a familiar face. She was standing right next to me, speaking with a friend. I could hear her voice above the ear drum hammering band in the next room, and I knew I knew her. Camp Morehead. Yep. I remember her as a spunky 13 year old who would speak her mind and was a favorite of all the counselors. I decided life is short, and that I had to say hello. Knowing that I have an uncanny memory for faces, I tip-toed to the point. "Sorry to interrupt, but may I ask you a random, random question?" Politely, she says sure. "I'm from NC and went to Camp Morehead growing up, and I think I remember you from there..." Her face lit up and we went on to talk about where we went to college, when we came to the city and exchanged emails and numbers. Low and behold, she lives about a half mile from my apartment and we're both going to the Outside Lands Festival on Saturday.

We're planning to get coffee this week and go to a cook-out (thank goodness I found someone here that says cook-out and not bbq) together next weekend.

I'm back!

I was like a 6 year old on Christmas morning when my shiny new HP laptop arrived in the mail. So I could sign for the package, I had it delivered to work. Another plus to that planning was I had captive coworkers with whom to share my joy!

My new laptop is a HP Pavilion dv6700, with Windows Vista (no complaints, yet).

On another note, picnics in Golden Gate Park have become a regular sunny weekend treat. Sadie's friend Bell is sneaking a sip while chaperones talk on cell phones.

Sunday Shopping

It's Sunday and Fido is shopping for Kate Spade flatware at Bloomingdale's.

I have cardboard box furniture and a mattress on the floor. And this is happiness.

My apologies!

I've been busy driving across the U.S. of A., moving into my FAB apartment, hanging out with my COOL new roomies, and digging into my new J-O-B at Latham & Watkins! Thank you for bearing with me.

Here is a snapshot of me and my new roommates, Trina and Patty. We are settling into our 3 bedroom palace very comfortably and easily!



P.S. Laura Gainer a.k.a KUNKS - Welcome to the 26 year old club!! I'm so sad I missed the festivities, but I was thinking about you!
