if nothing else, i am myself/it’s all i have to give

This is the view from the beach last weekend. There is sand in every bag that’s been in my car in the past two weeks. There is probably sand in my bed, on my floors, in the cracks of tiles in my kitchen. And I love it.

This is the iced coffee I’ve been sipping for the past three weeks. This week we’ve had no marine layer, no June Gloom, just sun as far as you can see until eight forty five each night.

This is the wrap I got from Cafe Gratitude this week. It was called, “I AM HAPPY” and I was and I am. Becca said it was the best food she’d ever had, and I must say between the company and the food and the warmth of the restaurant, it was definitely on top of my list.

This is a list of the vegetables currently in my house. I love summer, I love stone fruit season, I love avocados that are five for two dollars, and I love the farmer’s market.

This CD. On repeat. You’d better watch it, I think that girl’s insane…

 

 

Best Day Ever.

Pretty much 1 or 2 things happen every day that make each day “best day ever” here in Jennie’s life.

But today — truely, best. day. ever.

*large iced coffee with chocolate, exercise in the morning by walking to work from the train instead of taking the bus, free breakfast burrito, and orange juice. Goodies from Bike to Work day, the promise of a bike in my future, a temporary tattoo, and best of all:

email from facebook telling me that 3eb (Third Eye Blind) has posted a concert. Near me. Where? Hollywood. When? In merely 1 1/2 months.

I bought tickets immediately, after calling to confirm Jeff’s attendance.

The concert? Not listed on 3eb’s website, or the venue’s website. Sweet success. (These kinds of shows sell out, so I had to act swiftly.)

Best. day. ever.

They were RIGHT there. We were so close.
