While driving yesterday I saw a banana peel in the road and instinctively swerved to avoid it...thanks Mario Kart.

The sun has dipped below the clouds on the coast and god it's going to be a glorious sunset. Headed home, but pulled off at Cardiff by the Sea to watch.......oh yeah, that's why we live here.....

Spent the afternoon wandering the mall with Rich, we had hot chocolate to warm up because despite having umbrellas (rescued from the trunk) we were soaked from the knees down. The chocolate was amazing, like melted down cinnamon truffles; it was practically chewy! What a fabulous day.

Gotta go the shows about to start.....

If Carmen San Diego and Waldo ever got together, their offspring would probably just be completely invisible.

Richie came to town for the weekend and so the boys went camping. I am procrastinating on finishing this photo project that Rich has to take home with him tomorrow; so naturally I went to a movie.  I went to see 'Hereafter' with Matt Damon.  Seeing a movie like that one all alone is probably best.  There's no one else there that will need to be bribed later to not tell how you were blubbering like a baby at a stupid movie. A stupid, long and drawn out movie that you actually paid to see and that in the end sort of broke your heart.  Typing this now and thinking about that little boy I'm blubbering again, probably because he lost his twin....It was a very long movie

Anyway, on the way home, thanks to the stupid movie that made me cry, I had the worst craving for some spaghetti.  So here I am at 10pm browning some sweet Italian sausage and trying to doctor some jar sauce with red wine, fresh garlic and some sun dried tomato paste. Since there's no hope of me sleeping tonight anyway I'm also having an iced chai. Stupid movie.....

That is all.....
