hello everyone--
just enjoying the brothers talents (justin's crutches page--yeah, we'll take a dvd; and michael's new song--so perfect! your lyrics are pure poetry-with all of your songs, not just this one).
yikes-scary rattlesnake stories from michelle and mary--did that incident make you really on guard for the rest of the hike? once i was hiking and i kept hearing rattling sounds, but i thought it was an insect, because it kept happening throughout my 3 mile hike. then when i got to the end, i saw a nature sign that said to beware of rattlesnakes. ignorance was bliss, for once.
i'm finally getting my hair cut today--time to chop the mop!
i met matt for lunch yesterday and his building is sweet--not to mention the building next door with the basketball courts up high on a hill. then we had lunch at the nearby mall and had a good chat. yay! it was cloudy so instead of hitting the beach, i came home and cleaned up the house. i also explored home depot for backyard ideas and i found some cool patio stones (some that look like cobblestone and some that look like pieces of slate). i love just wandering around in that place, getting ideas. then i made a fantastic dinner of shish kabobs, couscous, and bruschetta--so yummy i can hardly believe it!!! i know i've made a good dinner when matt can barely move afterwards :).
i'm pumped because snow patrol is going to be in san diego next month--and for only $8! usually matt and i will get into a band, only to find out that they just played in san diego a couple of weeks ago.
have a great day everyone!
just because i'm sorry
doesn't mean i didn't enjoy it at the time

i just went out to water my plants and saw that my lime tree is blooming!
yay! hopefully that means we'll have limes by early fall!
i'm going up to meet matt for lunch at his new place of employment, so that should be fun.
and it was fun reading blogs from grammy, ryan, michelle and emily!!!
spring break is coming to a close, but that is okay with me. i ease back into it on monday, with an all-day training (every once in awhile it is so good to just receive from someone else instead of giving myself all day long) and then that friday off, to fly home for graig henry's wedding!
so my first week back from spring break is only a 3-day work week, which is not bad. then only 8 weeks left until summer break--yessssssss! can not wait!!!!

happy birthday mom edwards!!!
what a fun surprise present from dad!!
have fun on your camping trip.
oh yeah, i forgot to say that on our way home from mary and casey's we stopped in santa monica for some shopping and starbucks. which, that starbucks was so cool. a ton of (music) listening stations around and a cool bar up front where you could sit and make your own mix and then burn it on to a cd. very fun! i forgot for a second that we were actually in a starbucks.
yesterday, my first day home for spring break, i had a perfect day. first, i slept in until 9:15--yes!!! then i went for a great run on sunset cliffs and came home and tried to do some ab work, but very sadly, i was still sore from my workout with mare--ha! mary, please tell me you are too, so i don't feel quite so fat and lazy!!! then i went to encinitas for the afternoon and read my james michener book, hawaii. since it was the middle of the day on a tuesday, i nearly had the beach to myself. after a few hours, i went back up to the car and found that it wouldn't start so i called matt and he came to rescue me about an hour later. he instantly got the car to start, of course! then we decided to go into some surf shops around the area and got him some new shirts for work and some board shorts for me.
today i got up early with matt and we took the car back to the shop (a part was just loose, and no charge to fix it!). i had a great walk on sunset cliffs a little while ago and later i'll go to the farmer's market in OB. i probably should be cleaning this place (we always trash it when we get back from trips!) but i just don't feel like it, gosh darn it! maybe i'll get the bug later.
welp, i'm out!

wooo!
the slacker is back!
it's been awhile, but i suppose no one will accept the excuse that i've been busy.
i thought not.
welp, anyhoo, matt and i returned from a fun visit in chowchilla, with mary, casey, and mom and dad edwards!
(just and mikey, we missed you guys). i am very sore right now from a morning with mary involving running 3 miles and doing push-ups, crunches, soccer situps-ouch!, and walking lunges. hopefully, i'll be recovered enough tomorrow to do it all again. if i did that workout 3x/week for about 2 weeks, i bet i'd see a big difference! we'll see how the motivation goes, though...
let's see, highlights...
-an excellent dinner of freshly caught (thanks to casey!) salmon--so yummy.
-hilarious game of wiffle ball with a giant bat and ball-nonstop laughing (dad, matt, and bo whipped us girls!)
-cutie bo trying to run with a giant frisbee in his mouth
-just chatting and talking and shopping and eating with family...ahhh....
ryan! i'm so glad you had fun at the blackjack table--that is fun! sounds like you stayed in a sweet place, too!
yes! spring break time for me!!! hooray!
i'll spend as much time as possible at the beach, of course.
but also in the plans are: haircut, painting the kitchen, some spring cleaning, and boring finance stuff.
i'm looking forward to being in cleveland in a week and a half and seeing the good side of the family!
you're the only thing that i love
scares me more every day
on my knees i think clearer
