some stuff since august! part I

a lot of stuff since august. been very, very busy. i literally exhausted myself to the hospital! but not really. i was in the hospital for 6 hours the other night of sciatica.. man, the pain that came with that.. ..was terribly annoying. i'm fine now, though! feeling great actually..

first: is there anyone out there who has not seen this film? if not, take time to do so! so good. very inspiring. looovee it, though it is more likely that i will not enjoy mr. jiro's sushi in his life time (he's about 85? now). 

..a couple days after billie babe's first birthday, my loverkins, an awesome friend, and i road tripped our way out to la for some 'us' time. it was much wanted and needed. every single second of our time out there was amazingly fun!

i was having fun with an app here. my face was terrible, so i replaced it with an even more horrific face, hahaa. makes me laugh. (sorry for the bad quality. not sure why the app did that. it's been fixed since then. the bad quality seemed to erase my stretch marks anyway, hehe.) *ragebooth iPhone app

..the beach was warm, the water was perfect. was even tossed about by a wave too big for me. got slightly terrified when i wasn't sure which way was up or down, but i naturally floated up and found myself to barely catch a breath, before i was to be submerged by yet another wave. i survived. 

enjoyed an amazing (the best) fish taco at señor fish, attended a little bbq, and of course spent the rest of the weekend enjoying the amazing bands at fyf. it was all perfect.

hey there, sweets

long time no see.

this is what i look like these days. scrappy, damaged hair done by myself, and a tired pair of eyes.

here's what my kiddos look like now-a-days:
