DIS IS ME LIFE... well, some of it.  here's random shots from random places at random times.  everyone has a miscellaneous file, and i guess this is it for me.  Next stop, I'm going to do a bunch of my house so you can see the mess we live in.  It's been compared to the Fight Club house, but i don't know if that's in a good way or a bad way.  if anyone has a toaster that works, though, we need it.  and any extra milk crates?  we're running out of chairs....

Amber, Liz, Casey, and Me at a friend's housewarming party.  I realized very few of these pictures actually have me in them, so this is proof that I'm here...and the smile is real, folks.  Thanks to VInnie for getting me the picture.

This is Daniel (left) Dave (middle) and Jessica (right) walking back from a good day at 'ol Nobby's Beach.  If you look to the top left of the picture you can see the cathedral...from here the hill looks so large and menacing...i promise if you come visit, we'll take baby steps.  Anyway, this is the trek i plan on taking every day the weather lets me :)

This is the Salar Couch cafe - the one i love on sunday afternoons for brekkie and a good play with the cat.  i hung out with one of the co-owners, Jay - she used to play basketball in chico, CA, but got hurt and had to come home.  She's cool, and promised to bring ANI (gasp!) to the cafe...alas, sometime after i go home.

Good 'ol Amber and Dave living in the living room.  Dunno where the hammer came from, but it's nice to have furniture.  maybe Dave crafted these chairs himself using that hammer!  hmm, i doubt that. Anyway, they didn't wanna dress up and go to the party.  So we left them behind watching the telly.  yes, those are shopping trollies behind them.  they actually come in handy every once and a while.

This is the costume brigade...on patrol on Newcomen street.  See, the trollies DO come in handy. Left to right:  the hippy/Mayan indian, the US pajama party, The Cap'n, the not-quite army soldier, and the Dude.  Not present (due to her involvement in taking the photo) is the injured nurse. We walked ALLLLLLLL the way across the street (and had to stop and rest 2 times) for the bday party at our new neighbors house.  Funnily enough, we dressed up for this party, but the costumes stood empty and alone on Halloween.  What a waste of a good pointless holiday!  sigh.

WINDY DAY EH?  here's from my surfing attempt no. 2...they said i was a natural, that i had attitude.  mostly i was lazy and just pushed my board around till the wave found me, and since i've got mad stand-up skills i successfully looked good.  hehe, secrets.  thank you womyn's collective for surf lessons!  twas muy divertido.  more surf pictures will happen, are you ready for that???
