Lesson of the day for livin' in Southern California: the groups of men outside of Home Depot who flag you down like you're a taxi driver don't need to borrow a cell phone or anything, they're just looking for work. I learned this the hard way and rolled down my window and asked, "Do you need something?""You need help? Something, anything for us to do?""Nope. I'm good. Sorry. Thanks."Then I sped off and tried not to look anyone else in the e...

"LOS ANGELES – A wildfire in the mountains above Los Angeles has surged in every direction, going in a single day from a modest threat to a danger to some 10,000 homes. The blaze nearly tripled in size in triple-digit heat Saturday, leaving three people burned, destroying at least three homes and forcing the evacuation of 1,000 homes and an untold number of people.A slight drop in temperatures and...
The One with a Balloon Layout
Saturday, August 29, 2009
We had a hole in the Showcase section of a recent issue of Scrapbook Trends so I put in this layout. The photographers, Katie and Kristy, always make the layouts look so good....
The One with Fire and the White Coat Ceremony
Friday, August 28, 2009
These fires are scaring me.They're a little too close for comfort.They're visible and smellable from miles away.I dragged Chris and Allie up the hill for a long ways to try and get a better view of the fires, but we gave up and turned around. This is the best I've got.But the real and more important point of this post. It was Chris' White Coat Ceremony tonight. Basically it's just a welcome to USC,...

I'm so behind reading my Google Reader blog list. But next week I'll have all the time in the world so I plan to get all caught up then. If I read your blog, expect a comment soon :)I woke up this morning to the fresh smell of burning bush. I hear it's one of the four seasons of California. The others are like earthquakes, mudslides, and something else. LOL.After we dropped Chris off at USC, Allie,...
The One with Slowly But Surely
I stayed in my pajamas until 2pm because I was running around unpacking and putting things together and didn't have time to change. We're down to the nitty gritty now. 95% percent of the boxes have been opened, emptied, flattened, and thrown away. It's great to actually feel like I'm in an apartment instead of a post-tornado disaster scene.Since neither Allie or I had eaten breakfast or lunch we were...
The One with Chinatown/Santa Monica Pier
Tuesday, August 25, 2009
I didn't take one single picture on Sunday. Too much going on. Our apartment isn't picture ready yet, but it's getting there. It's just as cute as I remember. I should be unpacking instead of blogging, but I've been having blogging withdrawals and now that we have the internet I'm back in business.I still can't believe I live in California. I don't know where anything is. If I didn't have a map, I'd...
