Sunshine day

I spent the day in Laguna and it was perfect. 75 degrees and not a cloud to be found. I feel refreshed, alive and warm! I took a bunch of pics but of course forgot to bring my camera to computer converter cord thingy so I'll have to upload when I get back to Seattle.

Here is a pic I took with my cell phone from my favorite cafe:

There is an extremely embarrassing story that happened while at the cafe but I just can't bring myself to post it. Rebecca was the lucky recipient of hearing said story via text message and if anything ever happens to me, I grant her permission to share it on here. Until then, it will be a while before I return to that place.

Then I headed over to the Montage where I sat in the lobby next to a roaring fire, watching the afternoon sun slowly make its way down the horizon.

I stepped outside on the deck to take in the views and 2 women were out there sipping cocktails, chatting. One said in a huff "It's too bright out here, let's get back inside." Are you kidding me woman!? I wanted to punch her in what looked to be a newly constructed nose. Stupid sun hater.

I've got more to update but need to get ready to meet friends for taco tuesday. Can't beat $2 tacos!

Hope you're all enjoying some sunshine today!!!

just plane blogging

(from my plane ride to CA)

I'm blogging from the plane wishing I could live at 39,000 feet. After 3 sips of my Gin and Tonic sure as shit I'm buzzed. I'm looking out the window as we fly over the middle part of CA and it's sunny and blue and vibrant. I probably look like a side show freak with my face pressed up against the window with a big gummy smile plastered on my face. Hot TOAST! This Gin and tonic is yummy! Who says hot toast?

Did I mention I noticed a nipple hair protruding from my nipple this morning? I've always wanted to live in Europe. That's all I'll say on the subject for now. The altitude makes me feel silly. My mom is so cute. She's in the aisle seat (I'm in the window) and she's hunched over the in flight crossword using her giant magnifying glass. She looks like Sherlock Holmes. I want to blurt out, "Elementary my dear Watson!" I would try and snap a pic but for our safety "all electronic devices must be switched to the off position." Pansies. If my cockamamie cell phone camera is going to interfere with air traffic and take down a 737 then the FAA has serious shit for brains. Hold that thought. I have to pee.

Why is it the one time you get up to pee in an airplane turbulence hits as you hover??? I had to wet nap my boots. I'm going to get back to my knitting now. I use wooden needles in case anyone was wondering.

Only 30 minutes left!!! LAND HO!!!! What does that mean? Crap. I forgot I need to drive the rental car. Time to suck a penny!

In need of some warmth

So I just booked my ticket home.

I won't make a habit of this, I hope. But, it's really fricking cold and my body is shutting down. I'm making my grandmother's homemade chicken soup recipe for dinner tonight. Hopefully that will warm me up a bit.

The tips of my fingers are a bluish purple. That's not right.
