back in the bay area...week 2 of work. week 2 of gorgeous weather. unbelievable really this late into october.

i'm staying in SOMA...21st floor this round. i used to spend some serious time in this city 6 years ago. i lived in monterey for 3 years but spent almost every weekend in sf where my friends and the action was. my plan was to move to sf after my stint in Mo. town, but love took me south. now that i'm back, i'm finding my love for the city is strong as ever.

Yesterday i rolled down to the Los Gatos/Santa Cruz mts. to visit my sister on her vineyard. amongst the vines, she's also got a bangin garden and hens...all with names of course. the ladies are molting but dropping eggs left and right. check these beauties out! i can't wait to have a coup myself.





so as you can tell, i'm getting my city and country livin fixes. heaven for sure.

my heart

so pumped. work is sending me to "the city" two different times this month. once for 3 days..i come home for the weekend then go back for a week. i couldn't be happier right now...except for the fact that my babe has to stay in LB.

not only will i be venturing into SF but i'll also be up in wine country for a day- my old stomping grounds for my last job. i'm going to have some serious heart palpitations.
