I can finally say I'm out of my house and
back on road, something that I haven't been able to say for quite some
time! Not sure I miss living out of a suitcase, getting up at 5am
because of jet-lag, and getting mobbed at the airports but I do miss
that center court on Sundays which is exactly why I'm here.
The day before a long trip is often a very hectic one because not only
do you have to pack and run errands but in my case it included
practicing, hair appointment in BH ( where I randomly ran into Vince
Spadea at a stop light), friend's b-day dinner, and spending 3 very
unnecessary hours looking for my phone. In the midst of packing and
doing a phone interview in my closet, I happened to put it in a shirt,
that happened to lay under 10 other shirts. Not only was it on silent,
but it wouldn't light up when I tried to call it in the dark. Those were
three very stressful hours of my life. My poor housekeeper does not know
what she's in for when she goes in there this week.
Of course now that I'm on the other side of the world, I've remembered
about ten things I forgot to bring....typical of me.
Anyways here I am in Turkey....warm people and great food( very
yummy)...two VERY important qualities. I haven't seen too much of the
city but from what I have seen, it reminds me a bit of Russia. Still
adjusting to the time change....sort of forgot what that feels like. I'm
hoping I can visit their famous Grand Bazaar because I'm in search of
their glass tulip tea cups, although I'm not sure how realistic that
really is.
I went through one of those claustrophobic drive through car washes for
the first time because there was no way I could spend another 20 minutes
waiting around for a proper washing.....I was a bit disappointed because
after it was watered and splashed with some disgusting looking rainbow
wax, someone dried it by hand with a red towel, that left red looking
dust all over it. Is it normal to need a another car wash after just
washing it?
Can we please talk about Robin Thicke's new song 'Lost Without U'? The
lyrics 'baby, you're the perfect shape.....baby, you're the perfect
weight'.....Robin, you're one smooth operator.
One more thing.....couple days before I left 2 paparazzi guys started
following me around out of the blue and taking pictures of my practices,
etc.....guys one piece of advice....I saw you perfectly clear in your
vans, hiding behind window blankets so don't bother hiding anymore and
also this is not the first time someone has taken pictures of me
practicing....you're wasting your time....go home and have a beer.
