My First Love

My First Love (who was not Joey, the cute baseball player I dated in the 7th grade, unbeknownst to him), but has to be the lovely state of California.

Each and every time I make the 8 hour road trip down the length of my state, I am once again reminded of her beauty. I must admit it's easy to love California. With the snow capped mountains just a couple of hours to the east, the gorgeous beaches stretching along the coast (you've seen the pictures) and the always amiable weather, there's not much reason not to love this gorgeous state.

Truly, half the fun of being on vacation for me, is just wandering around the beautiful beaches or taking in the gorgeous weather sitting outside a cafe with a good book and a cup of tea.

So, shall I tell you what I did all week? In no particular order:

Ate home cooked meals.
Read books.
Visited La Jolla Cove.
Spent many hours witnessing Christmas carnage.
Drank hot cocoa and ate cookies.
Played with darling Bella.
Bought the most delicious new gemstones for some projects I have in the works.

I hope you all had a wonderful New Years! I spent most of my snockered in the best of company. (Once I get copies of the photographic evidence, I'll be sure to post a few pictures up here. Girl scout's honor.)

So tell me, how was your Holiday?

xoxo,
C.
