this one was in long beach, and truth be told, it was kind of a rough weekend. my brakes started grinding on the way to the event saturday morning, which meant i couldn't take care of them for a full two days. and if that was enough bad news, my gps was stolen from my car. awesome.
i will say that i really really have come to adore my co-worker melissa, and working with her always makes giving up a weekend more bearable.

while at pride sunday night, we got a pretty good earthquake. a 4.7 i believe. it was a very surreal thing to be outside and to watch the earth kind of do the wave in front of me. it makes me a little nervous that there have been so many earthquakes since my arrival here, but my native californians assure me that some years are that way, others are not. i am certainly hoping we're not due for the 'big one' any time in the near future!

i am so excited for memorial day weekend. a weekend i'm actually NOT working. and i get to focus on doing a little as humanly as possible.**********************************
cordy is doing amazingly well. she's pretty much the cutest dog ever. it's been soooo fun to watch her personality evolve as she settles in and as she interacts with the other two canine roommates. lots of tail wagging and tonight, yes, tonight, there was dancing.

i finally took some pics of the house!

every short attention span theater needs a little irony. remember my friend jesse? the one i completely randomly ran into on a plane that one time? well, it turns out that that was not the last of our strange meetings. though he was already planning on helping me with the 'do nothing' holiday weekend, it also turns out that the following weekend we'll both be in seattle. i'll be there for work, and he'll be there killing some time before heading out on a cruise with his fam. the irony is that i only learned late last week that i would be needed, so it's not a trip i was originally planning on. but one which is shaping up to be a really good time!
***********************************
speaking of seattle. i am super excited to see my old frined leah. not that she's old (we're the same age), but we literally grew up together. two doors down, all through junior high and high school. she ended up joining the church, temple marriage, whole shabang. it's probably been 7 or 8 years since i've seen her, and she lives outside of seattle with her hubby and kids. it is going to be so fantastic to reconnect!

i saw star trek a couple of weeks ago, though i haven't posted since. seriously, how awesome was that?! i loved every minute of it.

Loved the update, Tara. Did you figure out what was wrong w/ your car? I'm hoping it just needed some new brakepads. How's that sunburn healing? Yowsa! Your house (and decor) are beautiful!
i had to replace two brake pads and a rotor. fortunately i feel very lucky that i have an honest mechanic. it can make all the difference in the world!
as for the sunburn - it actually looks worse in the pics than it was, but it's already turned into a nice brown:)
