In addition to documenting my travels, I am not also using my blog to document my attempt at a home vineyard/winery.

In all honesty, it is stupid for me to start a vineyard seeing as neither myself nor my housemates like wine. Wine made by people who do not drink wine will be like the beer in Morocco, shit. Still, my backyard will look pretty. 

I am starting a blog. The focus being my travels, either around the world or just in the bay. I have documented a number of my travels on live journal over the years, so I will likely steal and transfer those stories to the blog at some point. In my fantasies  I get a whole crap ton of followers to my blog and the travel channel offers me a travel ( Read more... )

I have been having the most amazing week. Busy busy busy but all fun.  I think I will break this letter down by days because I cannot come up with a better way to organize it.

Wednesday (10/24) - After work I went with Cathleen up to SF. We were meeting Noah for dinner and a whiskey tasting event but got to the city way earlier than expected, ( Read more... )

I love my mom. She is a beautiful, kind, talented and a generally wonderful person. However, there is one thing about her that drives both my sister and I totally nuts. My mom likes to drink, and one of her favorite past times is to get shit faced on wine and talk trash about my sister and I. Listening to her tell it, we were the world’s worst ( Read more... )

Hi Kates,

I am so excited. You will be here in less than a week. We will have so much fun. I am very excited to see Evan since I saw him only two days when I was in Chile last year. I have not been adding input into the emails with all the girls because I figured you knew I would be down for whatever. I think it would be fun to do a bbq on Wednesday ( Read more... )

Katy,

How was Bolivia? Did you enjoy the rain forest and Lake Titicaca? I want to hear all about it when you are here in two weeks. I cannot believe that you are going to be home in two weeks. I know it is only for a few days, but any time with you is better than nothing. I am also excited to see Evan, since I hardly got to see him when I was down ( Read more... )

I am moving back into my house! Hurrah! Jason has moved his stuff out and his moving out corresponds perfectly with Labor Day Weekend, so I can spend the entire long weekend cleaning & repainting bedrooms, and hopefully start living there again. I love my family, they are the best part of my life, but being a 30 year old divorcee living with her ( Read more... )

I have been a bad sister and not writing you about all my recent adventures. I cannot remember when I wrote you last, so I will just sum up this weekend and the last couples ones for you.

Four weekends ago I went camping and river rafting with mom and dad on the middle fork of the American River. It was a camping, wine tasting and river rafting ( Read more... )
