Not Füd

Sooooo......I am Still here, In San Diego.....yep, not in UT. But I am heading back soon. But while I am here I have been taking advantage of the locals....ha ha ha.


So I am finding out, slowly that I don't hate kids......i only hate kids that are annoying. Fortunatly......i adore Mary-Anne.....My friend Jenns' kid-o who was born last July. Summer bebby.....she and Jenn are heading out to Mississippi...sad



Her housemate however was tossing this AWESOME bag.....I was inclined to get into it and do a little dance. good thing drew was about to get a couple of shots of it...



BTW.....the splinters in my mouth are worth it for the tasty juice from the sugar cane that I picked up at Ranch 99.....the local HUGE asian Market.

The Black Market, Ja Lolla

So I am on a Quest, for my beloved KT. She's getting married. And I need a dress. The guidelines are simple.....black, new black, between knee and calve length. That is about it.



So Drew and I were in La Jolla, CA. and decided to hit The BLACK Market/The WHITE House Since they only carry black and white things......It went well....



I am a speed shopper. By nature, get in, get out. So we came in....told the sales ladies what we needed and my size and just rampaged through the styles.



I didn't find anything I was in love with. But I did discover what looked good on me that I didn't think would.



I also learneed an important lesson......use loaner heels.....The help the dress shopping. It's crazy. The dress wears much better w/ heels normally than w/out.



I know, I know.....KT you prolly knew this along time ago....and you too sis. But I only just learned it.



So....a pile of dresses later, this is what I went through, and these hangers are only about 1/2 of what I had in the room w/ me. I grabbed some other colors to try styles.....but you know....I can only post the black ones. So this i for KT.

I like this last dress the best. It is also the 2nd dress posted......

La Mesa Three-Ohh

So Yesterday was Drew's Birthday, the Three-Oh
....finnaly made it. So we are all stoked. To celabrate we gathered at our place and then headed to Gio, a Wine bar in Down Town La Mesa, and yesss there IS a downtown.

There we had a great time. Drew did what he does best.....and as you can see below....i helped..a lot. ha ha

Sandy Eggo....where is it not 17 Degrees

(Me: Point Loma, pier. Just ate some "Squaw Candy" and smoked Ahi with Drew.)

Well, looks like I am back in San Diego.......serious. But this time it is for work.
Looks like it's not so bad. I flew in Thursday, to 80 degree sunny palm tree land of surf and sun, from 17 degree Draper UT of snow and Ice. I had no reason to stay in utah, really. The Snow fort had melted, the air was cold. Not a lot of flying for me either. Plus the people I spend time most with left for France on Thursday also.

So here I am, and loving it. I know why i left, but I also remember why I moved here last February. Serious, you can't beat the fresh fruit and smell of orange blossoms and warm winter. Avocados and fish. miles of warm non-icy bike riding, and not having to sit on the trainer. watching movies. Not that I don't love that.

I am planning on being here most of the month of Feb. That is the plan anyway. Working on a project, going to meetings. Getting things right.




Me at a meeting, hiking into Eagel Peak, to get familiar with the peak and the routes. It was a beautiful. Lovely, warm and fun. Watched the birds thermal and soar, not a cloud in the big beautiful sky. It was a 45 min hike in and a few hours climbing. Then 45 min hike out.....it was a nice hike. Really lovely, the rear of the hike was taken up by a Pug named GUSTAVE and a blind OLD dog names ZIPPY....HA. awesome.

Next meeting will be Corte Madera....Sometime this week.

Chapter 17: Paragliding

I'm still here.....so this is my, in October, trying out wing number 9. I was trying to find a good wing for me to buy. I couldn't afford a new wing. So I was trying all of the used student wings. more and more.....most people dont fly more than 5 wings in their whole flying carear. and by a month and a half. I had tried ten. I even drove all the way tp San Francisco to look at one around haloween. I did find one. and no the one I was expecting.

The Ozone Geo, that was the wing that I wanted. An extra Small.....no one had a used one. I was in San Fran to look at a Hook, and a Golden. not wings I was too intrested in, but begers cant be choosers. . . . and I was broke.

But while I was in SF I met some one who had a XS Geo......cash in hand I bought it. I was a happy girl.



So this is me, in warmer times.....new wing, and new harness.....ready to go out and float on the breeze. Happy I am.

Why live Here?

Just why would any one choose to live in lame boring cookie cutter suburbia?

Because I get an epic sunset 5 out of 7 days. less than 200 yards from my house. No traffic, seasons, weather, amazing neighbors.

The last of the colors before it got cold as ....well December

I dumped a foot yesterday, and snowed again today.....and will again tomorrow

23 Degrees out
cold and Icy
