Egads, the Pacific Coast Highway is Beautiful!

By
After a rainy day of driving yesterday that ended up with me car sick (the PCH is really curvy!), I decided to drive today.

Excellent decision as I am doing great and Jon has only a few more gray hairs (he doesn't always approve of my lane location decisions...read: I list to the right and have almost taken out an orange cone, rocks and a dump truck).

We got hungry along the way and wanted to finish the chili we cooked up a couple of days ago (note: regular chili recipes make a LARGE quantity and feed us for many, many days). As no designated picnic areas presented themselves, we decided to make due with what was available.

We are now sitting in Cafe 316 in Monterey, CA, enjoying wi-fi, classical music, delicious drinks and beautiful weather. San Fran next, I think?

    Glad you like the RR. We were listening to a mix CD given to us by some friends at our going away party. Good tunes!

    We ended up getting a cheap hotel here in SF. Only $50 a night and right on Market St.

    We forgot that Wit et el. lived here! Next time. The hotel is really cute and we haven't splurged since Vegas, so all is well.

    Thanks for the offer to hook us up! You are the best sister evah!!

The garden is in!  If our Scarechicken does its job, we will soon have a nice crop of heirloom tomatoes, onions, hot peppers, green beans, basil, parsley and thyme! Huge thanks to my parents for their help getting the area ready. It was a jungle!

I spy...

By
I was looking for directions on Google Maps today when I realized that Google had just added "birds-eye" views for Fort Collins. So, of course, I went to see what our home looks like. Much to my surprise, I found that Google just happened to catch us on the morning of March 29, 2012. Our moving day! So, you better think twice before deciding to run around naked in your back yard. You never know when the aerial photography plane is going to fly by!

Beauty Anxiety

By
I am spending quite a bit of time thinking and planning what I am going to put in my travel backpack. There isn't going to be a lot of room so I am taking a tip from Ottsworld and planning to leave my vanity behind . I have to admit, the idea of leaving my makeup behind makes me uncomfortable. Not because I want to wear makeup everyday but because it's a security blanket. It provides the ability to fit in if I need to and to escape the feeling that I am not participating in the unwritten rules of being a woman. Don't believe me that there is a beauty standard in this country? Check this out: Video link here . More information about Girl Culture by Lauren Greenfield here . Please note that parts of this site are NSFW. But on the flip side, I'll be saving money. I found an article in Newsweek that estimated the lifetime cost of "cosmetic maintenance" . Even if I normally spend a half to a third of this amount, that's still quite a bit quite a bit of money.
