Fragmented Fridays

Bay-Bridge

The Bay Bridge, the other bridge in San Francisco, the not Golden Gate Bridge. Do you think the Bay Bridge ever gets jealous of the Golden Gate Bridge? Does it ever wish it was painted a slimming shade of “International Orange” like the much more famous and adored Golden Gate? Or is it content to be the bridge that it is, serving a much needed purpose, being proud to support so many on a daily basis?

It’s been a rough week for me filled with coughing, hacking, and sneezing. This cold has kicked my butt. I’ve just been focusing on doing what needs to be done and very little else.

It’s my bloggy birthday week. I’m 3 in blog years. I wonder if blog years are sort of like dog years?

I received the flight and hotel information for my upcoming trip to the BRITAX headquarters in Charlotte, NC. So thrilled to have been chosen as a Britax Hispanic Digital and Social Media Outreach Blogger. Can’t wait to meet the other bloggers that will be there. You can be sure I’ll take lots of pictures to share and I’m getting my paper bag all gussied up.

And now your Friday Fortune Cookie
(don’t forget to add “in bed” at the end, if you are so inclined):


Don’t try so hard.

    I think the bridge needs to hire you as a press PR person.  I bet for a mere $1,000,000 a year, you could change that bridges image to match that of the upstart from the other side of the city.

    The Bay bridge was indeed damaged in the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake and it really impacting transportation.  Maybe people appreciate it more now.

    You’re going to Charlotte?! I was born in Charlotte and raised nearby! Have fun! And the bridge? I think it stands on it’s own just fine.

    The Golden Gate Bridge is the mistress of the city, but the Bay Bridge is the tried and true Matriarch …

    The bridge is beautiful and it should not be jealous :)   Sorry your not feeling well.
    I am three now too. Happy Blogiversary! Feel better soon.

  • Court

    Has it really only been three? I feel like I’ve bloggy known you forever! Thanks for posting this. This Texan had no idea there was even another bridge. Poor neglected thing.

    Poor bridge. I would think a splash of color would be appropriate. Maybe Blue. Then it could be the Blue Bay Bridge, and Linda Rhondstadt could sing a parody of Blue Bayou for opening ceremonies. I would like that.

    Feliz cumple bloggy. You should come up with a formula to calculate blog years :) I’d estimate it at x2.5, maybe.

  • Keetha Broyles

  • Frau

    I’m sorry you’ve been ill, I hope you feel better soon. 

    Oh yeah the well known Bridge Envy syndrome. I know a great many bridges in London that feel that way too. ;)

  • Ann in the UP

    Happy Birthday, Girl!  You do good work.  I hope the Bay Bridge is happy being just a beautiful as it is.  Famous isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.

  • Heather – Acting Balanced Mom

    I agree with Wayne… the Bay Bridge needs you as it’s social media champion.  You’ll be so close to Charleston when you get to Charlotte… wish I could head up there to hang out with you… enjoy the conference!

    That bridge is awesome and deserves some recognition… so don’t go putting a brown paper bag over it eh?  lol

  • tettelestai

    I hope you are feeling better soon.  Getting a crummy cold while trying to still be a mom is so rough.

    I think the Bay Bridge might get jealous.  They could at least paint the poor thing, right??  But you know, that costs money that could be used elsewhere more necessary.

    Have fun in NC!!!

    Sometimes I wonder that about the Brooklyn and Manhattan bridges. They’re in walking distance from each other, and yet the Brooklyn bridge is so much more famous.

    Sometimes I think the Manhattan bridge is thinking “yeah, you might be all famous and everything, but do you see any elevated subways giving tourists gorgeous views of the river and statue of liberty from the Brooklyn bridge? Oh, no, you’ve got to come to ME for that, BITCHES!”

    And HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!! (yeah, I know I’m late. Sorry.)
