Five Girlfriends Every Woman Needs

The Old Friend: The person who convinced you that you looked beautiful, even with braces, on prom night — and the one you still yap with on the phone for hours.

The Vault: The friend in whom you confide your online dating disasters and the exact number of unpaid parking tickets in your glove compartment.

The Navigator: The one who actually remembers to bring a map when you're heading off on a trip together.

The Personal Coach: Your one-woman cheerleading squad who never attempts to look better in a short skirt and pom-poms than you do.

The Party Pal: Always makes you feel as if you were the guest of honor. Her enthusiasm is unconditional. When we're determined to be depressed, she shows up at our door, ordering us to ditch our big bag of M&M's (and our bathrobe) for a night of embarrassing karaoke.

I think at times I can be the Navigator, and sometimes the Vault, I don't repeat gossip. I have a few long time friends, and they know who they are, and they like me as their Old Friend. And sure I can be the Personal Coach, but rarely do I give advice, now I am 51 and realize most people don't want or need advice. But mostly I am good at the being the "Party Pal" nothing wrong with having a little fun.

Lazy Sunday Day at the Coast

Beautiful Sunday morning at the coast. I worked six days this week, so I have decided to take a break today and do some fun stuff on the computer. I have video I am going to edit and some scrap pages I am going to work on. I will post my results later. I am also going to work on this blog page and see how it goes.

Hike Point Buchon Trail

Went with a group of friends from the CalCoast Singles. On Saturday, September 13 we hiked around Point Buchon Trail.

Hikers have access to three miles of coastline north of Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant. Pacific Gas and Electric Co., which owns the plant and surrounding property, opened the entire length of the Point Buchon Trail to the public June 28.

The trail goes from the southern boundary of Montaña de Oro State Park to Crowbar Canyon, a point just north of Diablo Canyon Power Plant. The whole trail is about 3.8 miles in and out.

(1) Short way --Go to the Coon Creek Beach - Point Buchon Lookout- then take the shortcut and come back to the trail entrance.

(2) Longer way --Go to the Coon Creek Beach - Point Buchon Lookout - Disney Point Lookout - last Lookout and turn back.

The trail winds through part of a security buffer zone around the nuclear power plant. As such, the creation of the trail is the first time the public has had access to this secluded part of the coastline in years.

The trail goes south from the loop trail and generally follows the coastline. At several points, it moves inland to avoid ecologically sensitive areas and to give hikers more panoramic views of the coastline.
