Vacation

In little less than a month, I will take my first vacation away from Seattle and Orange County in over.... well, more than a few years. I am beyond excited.

And I am going to.... (drumroll please)....

San Francisco!

ftw.

Last night's dinner consisted of a maple bar and strawberry chocolate shortcake.

Tonight... taco bell at midnight.

FTW!

Glimpses of happiness

Today I had a glimpse of my appreciation for... everything. I live an amazing life. I have wonderful friends and roommates. I know really cool people in general. I live in a beautiful city with indescribable vibrancy. I have a job that I wasn't used to at first, but am slowly growing to appreciate and, dare I say, love? Today was a glimpse through a window that has stayed fogged up with negativity for way too long.

Saw this when I was grocery shopping today:

"it will be a great day when our schools get all the money they need and the air force has to hold a bake sale to buy a bomber."

Little "Johnny" during make your own pizza day:

"I was tricky. I put only things you would find in a taco on my pizza so that I could fold it and make it a taco. hahahaha."


Wow. So tricky.

Continue Searching...

"I convinced myself for so long that I wanted other things but now that I've found what I really want and what makes me happy, it's all I can think about and strive for...And even if I lose this, I know it's all I can continue to search for."

9-year-old Manny talking about "Free Choice" day. The choice between going outside or staying in.

'Manny': Miss Klarrisa, the girls are just going to want to stay inside. I wish they wouldn't come.
Me: I'm a girl and I want to go outside.
'Manny': But you're a WOMAN.

Later 'Manny' and 'Johnny' whining again later...
Both: boooo we want to go outside. girls hate dodgeball and going outside. they hate us
Me: Again, I'm a girl and I like dodgeball and going outside. And I think you two are great... when you're not whining to me.
Both: But you're a WOMAN.

1. Apparently I need reminders that I'm a woman. :)
2. Apparently girls hate things like going outside and playing sports, but women are fine with it. hmmmm
