The special occasion of the week was getting invited to have brunch with Denise at her house. Three

Another week of trying to figure out where things are, being lost only 85% of the time (last week it was 90%), doing the last bits of unpacking and picture hanging.  I figured out how we can walk to school.  It s only ten minutes and it includes this endless stair way.  The first day we did it, I subconsciously thought, Oh too bad I figured this out just in time for rain to start .  And then I remembered cheap hotel thailand that I live in Oakland now and that season, the one that is dark and rainy for nine months, doesn t exist here.
My hair and I have gotten to a previously unknown high in our lifelong relationship.  In other words, I am liking cheap hotel thailand my hair better than I ever have.  Part of it is product, part of it is technique, and part of it is putting it in this ridiculous get-up every morning.  Interested?  Should I do a hair post?
I made this gigantic cake with them and plums and was careful to cut myself a piece of only plum.  The cake wasn t as good as I thought it would be and who needs a 13 18-inch cake anyway.  Recipe NOT coming soon.
This is my mom s charm bracelet.  All of the charms were given to her by her grandmother.  When I was a child, I would ask her to see it all the time and she, knowing I would be gentle, let me.  A few years ago, she gave it to me and I wear it on special occasions.  I love the camera cheap hotel thailand charm.  The charm below that is the Plaza Hotel in New York where my parents got married.  The anniversary date is on the bottom.
The special occasion of the week was getting invited to have brunch with Denise at her house.  Three years ago, I attended BlogHer in San Francisco and made some lifelong friends.  Cheryl , Tracy , Denise , and Allison all live in the Bay area and Denise put together a fabulous spread to welcome me.  I m a lucky girl.
