The pleasure of sleep is able to get back.

it transported me back in time to simpler sunnier days and its been making really happy to stare at today

cate chose these pretty little traditional valentines cards from bunny cakes i love them

from toast

from brora

but the commonality between each experience was- it was out of my hands i occasionally fell in love with someone who couldnt be had i occasionally had to run from someone who wouldnt let me go

but the main thing i love about this picture is tree cover you can see in the upper right corner thats how it was all around the block even on really hot days you could find a great place to play in some serious shade everyone had a huge tree or trees somewhere on their property and bushes and ivy and a great variety of things the only reason we had those young trees on the corner was because my mom sold our big palm tree to some palm springs landscapers ha

i was born in orange county where my parents had lived in the same house for like 20 years they had both lived in so cal all their lives

like this one for instance my older brother uploaded it while reminiscing about the old buggie he rebuilt in the 80s

and i cheat like alot well usually i ease up on weekends but i feel so crappy and bloated again that i cant wait to start eating right on monday but i have kind of had to tell myself this is just the new lifestyle and if i want to indulge every now and again im going to cause id rather die than not be able to have some chips and guac or a slice of cake every now and again so if i eat like this 90% of the time then ive noticed that my body or the scale doesnt mind if i wander in my choices a bit the other 10% exercising everyday helps with this too i feel like its a great trade off- feeling great and a regular period for a little self control

and then that got me thinking that really its not just while laying in bed that she is watching out for me

i love all the sweet artistically talented bloggers that offer free downloads around holidays for us readers

i got a lot emails about what i eat and how it effects pcos- so i hope you dont mind if i just answer all the questions here instead of going through each email

at 18 i planned to live the tahoe hippie life forever one day i felt compelled i knew it i just had to leave i packed up my car and moved to the central coast

cate what did you play on the computer then

i bet that block is not nearly as big as i remember it being but i remember it being quite a trip

do you have to be obsessed with yarn and needles and hooks like i am to think that is the most inviting little space youve ever seen

ok its hard to stop i love every song
