#734: Meet a Famous Designer.
She was just as divine as I imagined. And her vine-covered, cottage-esque chateau was too. Tucked away in the California countryside, it was like something out of Southern Living magazine or Travel Channel or Dream Listings. My dream house. And my new boss’s house. Who knew a little leap of faith on an unexpected freelance gig would lead me to working with a famous designer in her own home studio? Am I dreaming? Don’t wake me up…
#733: Hi-Rise View of Petco Park.
Aunt Mollie and Uncle Ray were in town last week visiting their old stomping grounds where they had lived for 4 years, my surfer and boat-bound cousin, and my new San Diego home. Funny, even after 4 years of them being gone, they were still well connected. So connected, they scored a 2-week stay at a penthouse overlooking San Diego’s ball park, Petco Park. Yep. That close. Any closer, and they could have caught a fly ball. Jealous? Maybe…
#732: Crave Dunkin’ Donuts In SoCal.
Aunt Mollie will always be the funny, happy-go-lucky, wicked awesome aunt from Boston I remember. “Hello sweetie. So I tried that coffee place across the street but wasn’t impressed. Was wicked expensive. Get that California craft shit outta here. Where’s the Dunkin’ Donuts? Let’s go find one.”
#731: Explore Cabrillo Nat. Monument.
When I say we explored San Diego’s Cabrillo National Monument, I don’t mean for fun. My outdoorsy and adventurous roommate Frank went exploring here yesterday yet lost his keys somewhere on the rocky beach. 3 long miles of rocky shoreline, that is. Clutching flashlights and liquid courage, we came back here this morning bright and early to hopefully find said keys. Fingers crossed they’re not fish food. Yet. Hello Lost & Found!
