Adventures in Marin

So, we took off to Marin yesterday....I was hoping we would be avoiding the heat that had taken over Menlo Park. Alas I was wrong....Now those of you who know me, know how much I hate hot weather....I know it seems impossible, but it makes me even crabbier than usual. The heat was fine at the English pub for lunch, and Muir Beach...but Mt Tam was a bit much for me...not that it was a strenuous hike, but it was damn hot, and I was incredibly pissed....But Andrew did learn an important lesson, do not take me to do events with physical exertion when it is over 85 degrees outside...it invariably leads to a temper tantrum....We ended the day in Muir Woods. Which was absolutely fantastic...first it was shaded, so it was not nearly as hot, and there were tons of gorgeous redwoods, and....FERNS!!!! And I love to take pictures of FERNS!!! Don't ask...it is a long story that started in NZ.....

harry potter update

so....i just finished the 6th book....and while it is much better written than the last two....I am completely distroyed by the death of my favorite character....I won't give away any details...but I must admit I shed a few tears.....

A day in carmel and monterrey

So, I spent yesterday in those two lovely locales with my current manfriend, Andrew. It was absolutely gorgeous. We did the 17 mile drive between monterrey and carmel, saw pebble beach, etc....totally fantastic....

There will be some fabulous photos posted later this week, once I get them developed...oops, I forgot the film today.....

adventures in dallas

so....I went to my college roommate's wedding in dallas this weekend. it was a lovely affair....much fun was had....but I must give you some of the more ridiculous highlights.....

1) the sermon at the ceremony....the groom's father gave the sermon and had an entire analogy about cooking and the marriage....all i can say it just got a bit much when he started talking about one being the salt to the other's pepper

2) so in our break between the reception and the bbq, some of us slept (me) and others went to the bar (DD) and so when i woke up I called her and she announces she was at the bar with our friend LL, and they were accompanied by a mariachi band....i thought she was making shit up....as one does....so I go down to the bar where I am greeted by the mariachi band...one of them is introduced to me, i put out my hand to shake his and he gives me a hug, and I reply say to him what the hell are you doing....so he left me alone and hit on LL.

3) when S announces to B's boyfriend on a message that she needed the cock and that is why she had to hook up with some dude last week.....

All said a bit out of control, but fun....but I am happy to be back in CA where I can catch up on work....

Happy fourth of July to all of you that celebrate it.
