I just landed in Long Beach and am currently in el coche con mi familia. We’re on the 605 (or “on 605″ as the NorCal kids would say) and on the hunt for food. Since I was running a bit late to the airport all I had to eat was Skittles Crazy Cores (which are not crazy at all, they taste pretty normal) and Terra Blue potato chips, which are arguably the best part of flying Jetblue. Anyway, here’s a pic my sister took with her fancy Samsung Rogue phone which has a one-up on my iPhone 3G since she has flash capability. Whatevs. Here are my sister Cheech and me in the car. I’m so excited to be home for a few days. Hooray!

This past week in San Francisco has been a warm one… well, we had 3 days of highs in the 80s. Today we’re back to the 60s, but during those days of blissful heat, I really started to miss my hometown and my fam.
So! Homeward bound I must go! I decided to fly down mid-September, which oddly enough is the same time I moved to SF last year. Anyway, I’m excited to see my fam, Bri & Richard and to just feel the dry hot hot heat of the desert… basically, get my fix and promptly return to my naturally air-conditioned city.

Refusing to let the HAND of the MAN hold them down.
Traci and Patrick made a stop in San Francisco and stayed at Casa Barker/Jimenez last night. It was really really great to see them. They’ve embarked on a journey from Orange County to Portland. I know, I’m jealous too. But we can live vicariously through them via the blog.

Kate and Jesse were also here and it was a lovely evening full of vegan-friendly dinner (fried gnocchi with amazing sauce) and chats about the food industry, our mutual loves of all things knit/crochet, and craft fairs. Big big plans always occur when I’m around my like-minded crafty people.

Friendly baristas, amazing coffee, live music AND amazing decor. DREAM COFFEE SHOP
About a month ago I went to Seattle for a wedding (which I will post about soon-ish). We stayed with our friends, and they live in the oh-so-hip Capitol Hill, where everyone looked fresh out of Urban Outfitters/Anthropology that weekend. The weather was beautiful, and so were the people. But not in the plastic-hipster Hollywood way, just in a laid back but still pretty polished way. ANY-WAY, moving along… read more »

I just got my Lonely Planet London 2010 guidebook in the mail. I can’t wait for February! I plan to visit my good friend Kendra who is going to King’s College for grad school and studying film (you can check out her amazing labor of love HERE). Next item on my to-do list is to get a copy of my birth certificate and my passport. Baby steps to London…
