Some Summer Pictures

that are sadly over due and there are more that Levi has that I will have to show later. These pictures are partly from that Flight of the Conchords show that Levi and I went to as an early anniversary/birthday gift to Levi, where we met the guys along with weird Al. It was an amazing night. And the other picture is of the fire that nearly engulfed Santa Barbara and did actually swallow Goleta. It was just ten miles from Levi's house. This picture was taken from down town Santa Barbara as an idea of how close the fire was.
A cool way to help anyone affected by the California fires is at http://www.reliefposters.com/ where all of the proceeds goes to the Salvation Army and supplies families in need with necesities. Not to mention there is some really cool art here.






Vintage and Fresh

back in Arizona. not just Arizona but Tucson Arizona. It is a far cry from the beautiful Santa Barbara. Levi starts school today and I start my job hunt tomorrow. I cant wait to move into my new adorable condo but for about a month i will be in the stinky old mold ridden apartment. Don't get me wrong, I am a fan of ghetto fabulous but i am also a fan of having my own room, which i do not have the luxury of here. I am absolutely thrilled to have an entire house with my very own bathroon to decorate and I have recently discovered an amazing furniture store that sells everything at an EXTREMELY dicounted price! It is all of ASU's old furniture and i bought a sweet white book shelf for only FIVE DOLLARS. you CAN'T beat that (but if you can, let me know). This glorious book shelf is five feet high with five shelves and will be perfect for text books and all the other books cass and i have in our collection. I am also inheriting a beautiful dresser type table that my parents are sick of and that my mother painted many years ago and has the look of an antique. I think i will make it into a sewing table to make the genius napkin pillows for our couch. Here's to a day of old and new combined.

Seaweed in AriZona


I am home and back in the heat. The past month I have spent in various locations in or around Santa Barbara working, beaching, surfing, swimming, and hanging out with Levi. During this month I also chose to not worry much about my hair. I would wash it occasionally and I brushed it a total of three times. Therefore, by the time I returned home (yesterday evening) I had nasty, salty, seaweed encrusted, dread locks. It was beautiful. So naturally i waited to shower until this morning. Around ten AM I washed my hair three times, conditioned it twice, and I am now trying to brush through the tangly mess while grass green bits of sea life fall into the sink and onto the floor. mmmm tastey. A little bit of California for me to enjoy.
