bright lights, barns and stalking celebs

wondering
how it's even physically possible to gain 15 pounds in Vegas...? i swear i didn't eat that much... but i gained 15 whole pounds :|

drinking
pomegranate juice ONLY (no food at all!) till i lose every last stupid pound :| well that's a slight fib, i did have 10 oyster crackers and a bite of banana today ;)

searching
for missing pictures. today i actually touched a turkey and do i have the picture to prove it? no! stupid effing camera - i want to take a hammer to it :(

recovering
from hiking, pilates and aerobics today :| my muscles are hot to the touch :| and sore :| (it's good, right....?)

trying
to remember to sit up tall like a tree is growing out of my head :)

listening
to Lady Gaga, who my boys unabashedly adore

hoping
dark ash blond doesn't make my hair red/orange/green :|

loving
summer and staying out till late on a sunday :)


i love joshua trees too :)

and ginger cat trees (Cheddar and Tater have homes now!)

and pools with waterfalls :)

and wood fired pizza (this is from Settebello in Vegas)

i love his smile

and side light

and this city at night (i refuse to ever close the blinds)

and Elvis Presley radio :)

and wonderfully quiet drives home with one reading and one sleeping child

i love the Gentle Barn

and Ellen's pet calves - they are soooo soft and lovely

i love farm dogs!

and Josh's smile

i love hiking in Los Angeles (so much more interesting than hiking in Orange County:)

especially when you happen to end up at George Clooney's house :) (he was outside playing basketball:)
