Chicks, we’ve made it to Friday. And although it’s only 9:30, I am sure this day will go smoothly and soon I will be cruising in to Saturday, beach, sun, and waves.

Despite the fact that we’re smack in the middle of June Gloom.

This is the view from my office window as we speak. The marine layer should burn off by noon, which is my thinking for tomorrow when we head to Zuma beach.

This is Zuma beach. It’s a great beach to spend a Saturday on. It’s up in Malibu, and it’s quite, clean, and the sand and surf are pristine, calm, and yet full of energy.

I plan on reading most of the book club, catching on National Geographic, and doing a crossword puzzle. And wearing my new bathing suit. And swimming. And listening to tunes. Preferably Martha’s Vineyard radio.

Sunday brings farmers market, cleaning.up.our.act, massages, and maybe laundry if we’re feeling particularly adventurous.

What are y’all doing this weekend?

 

 

I said, “remember this moment”

Paso Robles, 5/27-28, 2012

Fancy dinner. Fancy wine. Laughing friends. A town green, a beautiful town, beautiful country. Photo shoots in the middle of the road. In the middle of nowhere. Coffee in three shades, wine in endless combinations. Tasting room at the top of the world. Olive oil to die for. Dogs, veterans, and “I don’t charge for tastings…how can you charge someone to taste something they’ll never had?” Turkey vultures, orioles, mockingbirds, wrens. Egrets. Checking the map, checking the guide, tours. Heart Castle, two pools, and more laughing. History before your eyes, both man made and natural. No zebra spotting, but oh, how we tried. Mistresses and celebrities, and stairs, and Andy, leading us through the kitchen. And oh, that kitchen. Industrial everything, and someday I want. Snacks in the car, the ocean, the sunshine, wheat in fields, orange birds, the best sandwiches ever, and more wine. Best friends, memories that’ll always be there, omelettes and coffee, always more coffee.

Thanks to Jeff for the photos…more here.

Go Water < Less.

This week, I participated in Levi’s Go Water < Less intiative to get people to pay attention to water usage. The challenge was to wear the same pair of jeans five days in a row, and although by Friday morning I was sick of jeans, I am happy to say I succeeded! I am glad I work at an office where I can wear jeans to work, and glad I have a work that takes part in such intiatives!

And so, I challenge you to try it! Use the hashtag #gowaterless on Twitter to raise awareness to help conserve our water supply. So far 60,567 liters of water have been saved by this challenge! There are other challenges on their site too, so if you can’t wear jeans to work, never fear! Try out another challenge, and help us save water! Happy Friday, everyone!
