Cali Living

This is one corner of The OC that I love

It is generally the only corner of The OC I love

The corner of Heaven

OC, CA

Every visit home

I miss...

The little boy that gave me this little pig

I used to kiss this pig proxy every morning.

Uncivil Discourse

Crazy came to town.

And wanted to debate how nationalized healthcare is actually nationalize suicide.

Okay.

Civil Discourse

Somehow, the UW Health Care Forum was relatively civil

All neatly and patiently lined up to enter the auditorium.

Pumpkin Spotting?

Did I mention that I really, REALLY want to grow my own pumpkins?

But that with Ashley around, this is proving impossible.

Luckily, there is a Pumpkin Hunting Ground nearby

I miss...

 Playing the Sims

Mostly because my Sim ruled the world. 

And had an awesome brood of children

And, as you can see, also still never cleaned toilets

Getting National with the Politics of it all

He was the official Tally Keeper; I was the multi-precinct captain

Two more months

Perhaps I'll have pumpkins in the yard

Likely, I'll have to go to the patch and hunt them down.

Leaving for Afghanistan

This is my little brother.

When people tell me that I'm not supporting the troops

because I don't like the war(s)

I want to spit in their faces.

But I'm too ladylike for that.

And I would never disrespect his service that way.

You are awesome. 

Be safe.

You are my hero.
