Happy Holidays!
Hopefully you all are already on vacation (like me! yay!!) or that yours is beginning in a matter of hours. I am so completely ready for a few days to chill!!Mine began yesterday afternoon with me driving down to Santa Cruz to pick up my brother and his darling girlfriend, Samara, and then drove us all back up here. We promptly went straight to Emmy's and drank lots of wine & ate forkfulls of their tasty spaghetti! yumm!! And then we went on a little driving adventure in my new ride... driving them up Clipper to where it intersects with Market, and then drove all the way down so they could see that beautiful view of the city. Then, as luck would have it, I realized I was near the Tom & Jerry decorated house!! And, seriously, by an absolute Christmas miracle I drove straight to it! I couldn't believe it! I thought I was going to be like 6 blocks off either way, and that we'd never find it... but there it was! woohoo!
After many holiday drinkies we even broke out the ol' mini-party standby game, Taboo! That's always fun after many glasses of wine. You either magically get it after like 2 words, or you get a ton of clues and don't get the most obvious of answers. ha! Max played us some guitar (of which, mental note, I have GOT to start recording his random songs he makes up on the spot! so funny!). And then this morning I drove them over to the Emeryville Amtrak (Train) Station where they're off for a romantic 24 hour adventure to kick off their holiday break. sweet! It was so great to see the two of them before they left. Especially cuz Max's bday is in January & I probably won't see him for another month!
Anyway.... I have to go now cuz I'm picking up my Mom from the airport & I want to go get my car* washed!
*my car is now officially named "SMOOOOO!" lovingly derived from part of the license plate :p
Happy Holidays everyone!!!
May you get to sleep, eat and play all day long! xoxo
