Fergresser

Oh how I love living close to one of my favorite people in the world... who also happens to be my sister. I know, she's gorgeous, and she is glowing, and I wish I looked more like her. Somehow Tressa became Tress became Fergress became Fergresser. And somehow Melissa became Melfrel became Frel became Freller became Shmeller became Shmell.

She came up to Palo Alto for the day and we went to the best produce place and had a hay day, drove by my new school, went to Wahoo's for HUGE salads, got froyo, traded massages. Then we were really warn out from our busy day and felt like we needed naps:)

Perfection in Pismo Beach

I always forget to pull out my down coat when I go home to Pismo. I think 'California=warm' and somehow forget that every Pismo Beach summer day since I can remember has been foggy and cold until at least noon. And let's not forget that dad has a dream of having an indoor/outdoor home so until he makes every wall into either a window or sliding glass door, all windows and doors in the house are left open... no matter how cold it is.

But Pismo was perfection, even the cold, foggy mornings. Because they were spent eating big yummy breakfasts on the porch (shivering) with Mom, Dad, and Kristina. And the afternoons were spent running errands with Mom or Dad, hiking with Kristina, going to the best hole in the wall Mexican restaurant I have every been to, walking on the beach with the fam (turned into beach cleanups initiated by Kristina), watching Kristina swim in the ocean while I did the run in, dive into a wave, and run out. Evenings were spent with Kristina replaying over and over again our favorite 'So You Think You Can Dance' performances, trading massages, and talking about how similar our lives and recent life lessons actually are.

It was a perfect, sweet welcome back to my home state.
