I like face paint

I think when I have kids it will be more likely for them to have their faces painted then not painted. I love face paint. It's just so funny and it makes everyone happy when you go out with it. (Except for the huge scary beard that Hailey painted on bret's face and when we went to the park he scared all the kids and they went to the other part of the playground).

I think I inherited this love from my mom, who also happens to be an amazing face painter. Well, an amazing painter in general and can translate it onto a face canvas. A few weekends ago we went up to Truckee and spent most of the weekend eating junk, going to the park, and getting our faces painted by Hailey.






Sunol



We went to Sunol Regional Park, I'm not really sure where it is or if it could even be considered a hike, but it was sunny and that's all that matters. Our weekends consist of three things, trying to spend time in the sun, eating donuts, and talking about the barn that we'll one day live in and all the logistics of it. They usually consist of other things that we have to do because we are adults, but they're not nearly as fun to think about as sunshine, donuts, and barns.

RIP Talay 2




I realize that there are kids in a 5 mile radius of my house that probably go to bed hungry and there are people that live in war zones and people who have recently lost their homes because of natural disasters, but as vain as I sound, I can't help but mourn the lose of my beloved bike.

I thought my "get things stolen from me" quota was full for this year, but it wasn't. Some poor, unfortunate soul decided my bike was too desirous and didn't realize that I work full time to afford a few luxuries in life, like a beautiful schwinn, and they jacked my chain and stole my bike.

*two of the pictures above are actually of Talay 1, which was replaced by Talay 2, two years ago.

Now We Can All Feel Jealous

Below are pictures of Bret's commute. Amazing.

Have you ever seen break lights? That's my commute. You don't need pictures, just imagine me in the mazda nissan, sitting in traffic in the east bay.





I'm Back

Me being tired translates to me not posting. But I'm awake now, and I'll be posting. Sorry for the bad lighting in the pics, I'm occupied during daylight hours. We found this great mirror (correction, bret found this great mirror) at a garage sale and anything with a new coat of shiney, red paint makes a world of difference.



Full Disclosure

The locket I wear around my neck might not be real gold and it might have hot glue instead of a picture inside of it.

Nothing like a 4 year old begging to wash your car

I've had the same best friend for 22 years, 10 months and 2 days (or since the day I was born). Well 23 years ago today she was born. I think if we stopped speaking today and in 45 years someone asked me who my best friend was, I'd say Monica. Happy Birthday MonBon. Go get that 20 piece chicken nugget.
