The window is open and it is nice

I was going to say something about Goleta and I can't remember what it was. I don't know whether it was how beautiful outside it is right now, how badly I want to move back, or how I can get many of my friends that live elsewhere to relocate back here.

One thing I can say though is that we are locked in some bad habits, well good or bad depending on how you look at them. The desire to catch up with everyone we've been missing, and the desire so strong that we break the bank in the process. I mean that's fine, in some ways, but in other ways not. I think there is definitely a large number of dreams and realities at this point that are not on the same page.

I always wish I had talked about my day. Here it goes: simpler day, cajun with clare, getting ready to leave, and then doing a sister tour and seeing Christina at Mesa Cafe and seeing Stephanie at Chuck's. This was probably the last time we will see Stephanie working at Chuck's and that is sad. As if I didn't have enough dreams in my head, I hope that someday I can be well enough off to be a regular at Chucks.

Yesterday Dutch Gardens for the first time. Another first on a visit to the beautiful south coast. I can't remember the beer we had, but it was really good and made by monks.

The day before, Edomasa & Harry's for Dessert. During the day a nice chill session at the beach and then a mini-rafting adventure.

The day before, a beautiful bike ride in Goleta, Ming (with three Mai Tais, of which I was the only girl to complete) and Breaktime. Oh and beautiful walking home through the Goleta air.

The day before dinner with fam at Hollister Brewing Company and later in the evening Mercury Lounge. And also work in the morning with Donna because...

The day before I drove to LA with to go work with Donna and see houses that I had helped draw. It was really cool seeing all these houses that I had stared at in 2D for so long come to life, and one of them was fully completed and in use with a family living happily away. Very cool. Also I saw something that I had suggested come to life, a window between two interior spaces placed in a specific place in a hosue. It's technically my first design contribution and design contribution come to life (besides this other thing that I don't know how much actually came to be) but anyways it was very very cool. I believed they were calling in the beer window? or the more beer window? Or the beer and popcorn window? Anyways, rad.

 


Day before took care of some business, went to Goleta Beach and then went to Paul & Deanna's.

Day before successful rafting!!!! And going away party for Dan. And I think I've caught up to my last journal post.

 


Oh did I mention that once again when we return home tomorrow we are going to have non-stop visitors again?

It sounds like an amazing trip! I'm happy for you; it's always nice to be able to visit family and friends and feel that you made the most of every day.
