Dingo Breakfast
A yawn, a leak, and a good look around.

I love California in November
Matt and I went back and forth on ditching work for the beach one day in October. The weather never quite made it to the ideal temperature in October and we had given up on the prospect all together and resigned ourselves to the fact that winter was imminent.
Not so! Yesterday, November 15, 2008, the temperature reached 82+ degrees in Santa Cruz, an unheard of temperature anytime in Santa Cruz, not just on November 15th. We made it down early, arriving at the beach around 10:30am and spent the day playing soccer (well, Matt did - I read), throwing frisbee in the water, and just generally relaxing. I haven't felt that level of relaxation in months and it was faaaabulous! Lots of pretty pictures to come (be sure to check back for the updated post with pictures later).
We left the beach around 5:30 or so, the temperatures cooling down and the crowds diminishing. We decided to swing by my place, shower and head out to the mall for some shopping, which never really happened because starvation took over. Had a late dinner at the California Pizza kitchen, headed home and watched tv for a few hours before passing out from sheer exhaustion.
Not realizing how exhausted we really were, we ended up sleeping in until 3pm today. I think I awoke once or twice briefly, wondering to myself why the handsome gentleman sleeping next to me hadn't gotten around to rolling out of bed to accomplish his multitude of weekend tasks (including going to work for a time). I believe I then proceeded to roll over, wrap his arms back around me and not care whether or not he was leaving.
Back to Iron Chef, walnut souffle?! Yum!! And blackberry mole sauce! Argh, I'm hungry again...
In the theme of being all over the place (in my thought process), I am looking forward to moving into a place that is hella cheaper. Dropping as much as I do on rent, I feel like I'm really holding back on the things that I want to do with my life - taking more classes, going on more vacations (and paying cash instead of credit), and just generally enjoying my life the way I want. January? I hope it'll happen - get out of here and get back to my life the way I like it.
Cheers to an absolutely fabulous weekend!
