Free Day on Tax Day

Found my new boyfriend-look out!

It was scenes from a mall.

I had cashed in on the food court Panda Express at lunch. Shanghai Angus Steak was the tax day freebie and I met the girls after they had cashed in on their portions for their "after school snack". I had had a day where only a milkshake would cure the feelings I had--so we headed over to Chick-fil-A and used their free WiFi and waited 'til six when the Cinnabon had two free minis.  It was the way freebies should work- I tried things I wouldn't otherwise try and will return to have more.  This United Way poster was near the line for Cinnabon and I've never seen a group of teenage boys more uncomfortable at seeing adult women being silly and taking snaps and posing- Kodaking as my grandmother would say.  I think they were just jealous they didn't think of it first!

We then headed to the newly renovated and newly located Disney store and colored and posed for some more snaps.  I never was a "mall rat" as a kid and was surprised that two hours of freebies and fun could make a good evening! _______________________ _________________________________

Back to Santa Barbara

Second Sunday in a row to go to Santa Barbara and I met one of my best gal pals and we had our own version of a Sideways Tour- Solvang and State Street--what a wonderful way to spend Easter.

Lavender Memories

On my walk to work I always see the lavender and think of a hot Savannah night two summers ago and walking to my house with a very special fella. The smell reminds me of how electrified the air was with anticipation.

Looked at my camera roll and apparently I took these as I walked home

View from Barnsdall Art Park Los Angeles

Made it to this month's meeting of Los Angeles Final Cut Pro User's Group and this was the view as I walked into the meeting.  It was a great time to see and hear editors from American Horror Story as well as Christine Steele and Monica Daniel- where we learned that making things "shit sparkles" keeps producers happy. _______________________ _________________________________

My day yesterday! Row the boat

It was beautiful on the water and I was reminded why I like doing it.  I was on a learn to row-boat, so I had some beginners row me around the marina a little.  I got to see stars and watch em learn pick drills and remind myself where I started and how far I have come in two and half years.

I still am surprised as to how many friends and how social it's become.  This has been one of the best learn something new things I have ever done!
