if you're going to san francisco...

i headed north for vacation. the first few days were spent in napa, where i got to meet my nephew CARSON for the first time. i also went wine tasting for the first time ever, i loved it and can't wait to go again. i then headed into the city for the new years eve's festivities and of course did some sight seeing! new years day was spent, as usual, with friends and drinks. and to top the trip off, on the drive home... it even SNOWED! welcoming 2011 with open arms and can already tell this is going to be the best year yet.

let them eat cake.

when i read beatles, forever this morning, i couldn't help but think of my own walk on abbey road. this was shot two of the day and eventhough its from the wrong angle, it turned out a lot better than the one that was at the wrong crosswalk. awkward to say the least, but thanks to the kind london chap who pointed us in the right direction.

"it's been a great year for me and a great year for the beatles and hearing that the ABBEY ROAD crossing is to be preserved is the icing on the cake." - sir paul mccartney

it's an inside thing.

good day, mates.

my friend sam just moved into the city in san francisco, isn't her view amazing? i can't wait to go visit her in a few weeks. i heart the city by the bay.

my brother went boar hunting today. i'm not exactly sure why, but i don't ask questions. the thought of him with a gun kind of scares me, triggering flash backs from my childhood and being chased with bb guns. he's almost thirty, yet he looks just like a little kid in the picture, young at heart.

our second christmas tree of the season. long story, don't ask!

little buddha.

i received my first official christmas present, and it is the cutest! my friend, tiffy is so clever and always has the best ideas. i love the photo montage, brings back some great memories.

i want to hold your hand.

when i woke up from my nap today, i found my 14 year old kitten holding my hand. we are best friends.

dog days.

i downloaded this song the other night but only because i was being demanded by my friend brooke. who probably has this song blasting as we speak, while starring at a picture of florence, whom she is creepily obsessed with. and although i hate to admit it, the song is damn catchy and has been on repeat ever since.

a boat race.

mother, mother ocean, i have heard you call. wanted to sail upon your ocean since i was three feet tall. -j.buffett

i forgot to post yesterday, but i have an excuse, kind of. i was on a pub crawl for greg's birthday, and from the picture i'm sure you can tell that we had a great time! we all looked so cute in our nautical clothing and the boat races didn't disappoint.

but i'm le tired.

i found this post-it in a stack of old things from college. my best friend beat'em and i lived in the dorms together and would watch this ridiculous video daily. she wrote me this note and left it on my computer one day... for some odd reason i thought it special enough to keep. i'm glad i did!

happy birthday to my bestest friend gregory!

he has a thing for dolphins and their sexual habits but it's his birthday, so i'm not going to judge. the judging will just have to subside until tomorrow.
