Carrots

Ahhh... October in Southern California. Warm during the day and cool at night. Most of the tourists have returned to their leaf strewn inland homes. The beach and the streets and the taco shops are ours once again.
While the rest of the world is enjoying pumpkin spice this and that and boots and sweaters, we're still wearing tee shirts and flip flops and eating guacamole.
bonus points if you can spot my canine taste tester
 
It was a perfect Fall day today. I discovered some frozen Girl Scout Thin Mint cookies in the back of the freezer, which is almost as good as finding a forgotten $20 bill in the pocket of your jeans. So I brewed up some Detox tea to hopefully counteract the sugar. Yeah..right...
 
I was reading through the blogs like you do and I noticed that Anne's prompt for this week's
 52 Pick-Me-Up is Carrot / Perseverance.
Heck. I can do that. In fact I am actually doing that right now. It was meant to be. That Anne is not only talented but she is psychic. 
 Check out these crazy carrots! So beautiful. 
 
And I'm wearing a carrot colored dress with my face on it! 
 
So. Perseverance.
As you know (because I blather on about it endlessly. blah blah blah) I have had my share of health issues. Even though I have had more than one Debbie Downer of a doctor tell me that I need to suck it up and just accept my current situation, je refuse d'accepter!
 Oh Hell No!!!
I am sticking with my recovery plan, which of course includes frozen Thin Mints. And one day very soon I will be jumping around doing Cartwheels.
YES I WILL. So There!!
Carrots and Perseverance.

Join me as I make a psychic connection at Anne's 52-Pick-Me-Up.
And I'm bringing the carrots to Patti's Visible Monday.
See you There!

Vaca With The Fam


Jean Paul Sartre said, "Hell is Other People." "L'enfer, c'est les autres."
I say, "Hell is Other People's Vacation Photos." "L'enfer, c'est les photos de vacans des autres."
Welcome to HELL.

Bubble Gum Alley in San Luis Obispo, California.
This is a long alleyway completely covered with chewed gum.
It smells and looks as disgusting as you would imagine it would.


The Neptune Pool at Hearst Castle in San Simeon, California.
Oooh. So beautiful and serene.


This really is a Mystery. I still can't figure it out!




Buttercup Cakes in Santa Cruz. I had the Blood Orange Cupcake with Earl Grey Tea Frosting.
YUMMY!
