I'm always hearing people rave about its beauty, the gorgeous ocean surf and drive along the coast line. I'm ashamed to have never experienced that before until now. What kind of Californian am I?! <br />
<br />
A few weeks ago my sister had mentioned to me that she and her boyfriend were planning a camping trip in Big Sur (<a href="http://www.recreation.gov/campgroundDetails.do?contractCode=NRSO&parkId=71993" target="_blank">Kirk Creek</a>) with a couple friends. The last time I went camping was in 2006, when I braved the winter cold in the Grand Canyon. Unbenounced to me I'd be stuck in the snow, throwing up throughout the night because my body couldn't handle the below zero temperatures. It was an awful experience, and I think I've been hesitant to go camping ever since that traumatic event. (It only lasted a day but I will NEVER forget!) Seeing as 6 years have now passed, I decided it was time to forget about that one bad experience, and join my sister on this camping trip.<br />
<br />
The weather in Big Sur could not have been better - high 70's throughout the entire weekend. Many of the campsites out in Big Sur need to be booked well in advance (sometimes 3-6 months for the best ones), so getting lucky with the perfect weekend weather was a <i>huge</i> plus. We celebrated Cinco de Mayo in style with morning coffee and margaritas, back to back games of Washers, and an afternoon hike. The campsite and trails surrounding it are covered with poison oak this time of year, so walking around bushes with caution is a necessity. I was lucky to walk away with only a small trace of poison oak, which surprised me, since we were carelessly trudging through it all day long on our hike.<br />
<br />
Our first pre-summer outdoor excursion marks the first of hopefully more to come. The days are only getting longer and warmer! <br />

Instead of showering dad with a series of gifts, we (the rest of the family) were actually showered, literally, with a series of gifts...<br />
<br />
Word of advice: Don't underestimate the distance in which to stand beside a piñata - or for that matter a 6+ foot tall man swinging a bat as hard as he can at a hanging object. <br />
<br />
My dad definitely did not hold back in smacking this thing to pieces. The contents of this years "Fathers Day Piñata" flew in all sorts of directions. I'm pretty sure I took a plastic duck in the eye ball after that piñata went down. But the end resulted in mardi gras beads, mini shots of whiskey and vodka, margarita mix, cigars, bubble gum, chocolate and fake money. Now that's what I call a piñata!<br />

It seems crazy. But that's what thousands of fans [unintentionally] did when they purchased tickets to the U2 360 Tour in 2009. The rock band had to cancel their summer tour at the last minute due to Bono's emergency back surgery. On the up side, Bono would recover within 8 weeks, but on the down side the 2010 concert would be postponed for a whole year! So, you can imagine people who'd been patiently awaiting the show would be quite disappointed. Literally two years after tickets went on sale...the biggest full size stadium performance has finally arrived!<br />
<br />
And it was <i>definitely </i>worth the wait.<br />

After a day of rain and fog (we had to take our daytime BBQ indoors), we were finally able to enjoy some time outside the house for the special occasion. <br />
<br />
After partying all day and night Saturday, I woke up feeling surprisingly upbeat. Derek was glued to the couch, <i>as is his Sunday morning ritual</i>, while I managed to get out of the house to attend a Giants game. For such a low scoring game (2-1 Giants), it was one of the most entertaining games I've been too this year. <a href="http://thebaylives.blogspot.com/2010/11/fear-beardor-just-approach-it-and-say.html">Emily</a> had tickets in the 3rd row behind the visitors dugout, so every time there was a left-handed batter up we'd be visible on TV in the background stuffing our faces with milano cookies, peanuts, chicken tenders and fries. Yep, that's something to be proud of.<br />
<br />
At the bottom of the 8th inning I was lucky enough to get a foul ball hit down the 1st base line. I'll admit that I didn't actually <i>catch</i> the foul ball, the Rockies head coach threw it to me as I waved fanatically for it. Ha! But it's the first major league baseball I've gotten since I was a kid, so I'm stoked! I think I'll place it above the fireplace in my living room for all to see...<br />

Or EVERY day of school at that? Try dressing up in ridiculous costumes day after day and waving out in front of the house as the kids school bus goes by. I think <a href="http://www.shine.yahoo.com/channel/parenting/dad-plays-best-prank-ever-on-teenage-son-2493685#photoViewer=10">Dale Price</a> officially wins "Father of the Year" award...what a great prank! The best part is that he dressed up in 180 different outlandish costumes and managed only to spend $50 by borrowing and recycling outfits. The first day might have been horrifying for his son but by now he's surely the most popular kid in class. Talk about a great way to get the youngsters pumped up to go to school! What's dad going to wear next year?!<br />
<br />
You can check out all the costumes on the family's <a href="http://waveatthebus.blogspot.com/">blog</a>.<br />

I just spent the past 4 days in Dallas where the weather was 85 degrees and sunny- quite a change from San Francisco this time of year! The trip was a great opportunity to spend time with Derek's family, whom I only see about once or twice a year if I'm lucky. There was a whole lot of relaxing by the pool, great southern barbecuing, margaritas and family play-time. It was sad to leave at the end of the weekend but we're hoping to make this mini-getaway a tradition for every Memorial Day.<br />

I have only one question to ask: WHO in their right mind spends $2 million on an engagement ring?! <br />
<br />
a). The ring is absurdly too large to wear on an every day basis.<br />
<br />
b). Can't you spend a fraction of that money on something more productive or beneficial to society? Donations to people seriously in need? I understand it's his money and he can spend it however he wants to but....<br />
<br />
c). ...it's just plain obnoxious.<br />
<br />
Congratulations to them both anyway, I sincerely hope it lasts [insert giant gulp here].<br />

As if the earth is really about to implode and we'll all evaporate into thin air?! I can't help but notice though, how strange and destructive the weather patterns have been so far this year. Some days I can't even walk to my car after work without being blown over by the high winds. Since when has San Francisco become a "windy city?!" I'm not quite sure what's going on. Maybe its the climate change? Global warming? Whatever it is, cut it out please.<br />

One of Derek's friends sent him this picture from their back yard in Oklahoma City this morning. They literally got golf ball sized hail over night. Crazy huh?<br />

His parents, brother, sister-in-law, niece and nephew all caravan down from Oklahoma for the occasion and stay at his grandparents house in Plano. Derek and I stay a few houses down the street at his aunt's. (It's a big family affair). This will be my second year heading out to Dallas for Memorial Day. We're excited to see everyone, barbecue, relax by the pool and celebrate little Zander's 6th birthday. Here are some photo's from last years trip:<br />

I laughed and rolled my eyes at the same time after finishing it. Enjoy...<br />

<div style="color: black;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">The first woman President from Oklahoma - a very good one </span></b></div><div style="color: black;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></b><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;">The year is 2016 and the United States has just elected the first woman as well as the first female from Oklahoma as president.<br />
<br />
A few days after the election the president-elect calls her father and says, 'So, Daddy, I assume you will be coming to my inauguration?'<br />
<br />
'I don't think so. It's a 16 hour drive, your mother isn't as young as she used to be, and my arthritis is acting up again.'<br />
<br />
'Don't worry about it Daddy, I'll send Air Force One to pick you up and take you home. A limousine will pick you up at your door.'<br />
<br />
'I don't know. Everybody will be so fancy. What would your mother wear?'<br />
<br />
'Oh, Daddy', replies the president-elect, 'I'll make sure she has a wonderful gown custom made by the best designer in Washington .'<br />
<br />
'Honey,' Dad complains, 'you know I can't eat those rich foods you and your friends like to eat.'<br />
<br />
The President-to-be responds, 'Don't worry Daddy. The entire affair is going to be handled by the best caterer in Washington , I'll ensure your meals are salt free Daddy, I really want you to come.'<br />
<br />
So Dad reluctantly agrees, and on January 20, 2017, the first woman is being sworn in as President of the United States. In the front row sits the new president's Dad and Mom. Dad notices the Supreme Court Justice sitting next to him and leans over and whispers, 'You see that woman over there with her hand on the Bible, becoming President of the United States?'<br />
<br />
The Justice whispers back, 'Yes I do.'<br />
<br />
Daddy says proudly, 'Her brother plays football for the Oklahoma Sooners.'</span></div>Katie Shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10937838978138594125noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9162925357823636925.post-9797492036709075422011-05-23T11:52:00.000-07:002011-05-23T11:52:20.836-07:00battle of the bayI'm ashamed to say that I've been such a bad Giants fan lately! This past Friday marked only the second game I've been too all season long (technically Spring Training doesn't count). I clearly have a lot of catching up to do and am setting myself a goal: to attend a minimum 1-2 games per month.<br />
<br />
The A's/Giant's series, otherwise known as the <i>Battle of the Bay</i> is always an exciting time. My friend Kendra (born in the Bay but currently residing in the Bronx) flew back for the occasion. She bought us front and center seats in the best section of the stadium: the bleachers. For the ultimate battle of the bays experience, you gotta sit in the bleachers! It gets a little rowdy but is all in good fun- lots of young fans and families flocked together to cheer on their teams. I'm thrilled to announce the the Giants swept the series against the A's this past weekend. Looks like San Francisco is determined to defend that #1 title!<br />

I'm alone in the middle of the desert when I stumble across an abandoned warehouse. I enter the warehouse and then am chased by a four legged tarantula spider. <i>He must have lost his other four legs in battle? Ha!</i> I'm running as fast as possible in different directions but the spider keeps jumping onto my shoulder. This dream has been bothering me for a while now, and its not that its that frightening for me, its just that I have NO idea why its in my mind. Whenever I have this dream I always wake up from it around the <u>exact</u> same time I'm supposed to get up for work: 7:25am. What is the deal? Is this just a coincidence?<br />
<br />
I did a little online research this morning and found some "dream interpretations" which I'm trying to dissect myself. I'm not sure that I seriously believe some of these ideas but they're interesting to ponder. <br />
<br />
<br />
<div align="left" style="margin-left: 8px; margin-right: 8px;"><b></b><b><a href="http://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=9162925357823636925&postID=6900401710433959948" name="Tarantula"><span style="color: #0066cc; font-family: Arial; font-size: medium;">Desert</span></a></b></div><div align="left" style="margin-left: 8px; margin-right: 8px;"><span style="color: #0066cc; font-family: Arial;">To dream that you are walking through a desert, signifies loss and misfortune. You may be suffering from an attack on your reputation. Deserts are also symbolic of barrenness, loneliness and feelings of isolation and hopelessness. The desert landscape may also be a metaphor for feeling deserted and left behind.</span><i> {Hmm not sure this really applies to me. I think the desert might have a more literal meaning than metaphorical. I dream about deserts pretty often and I've always thought its because I spent a lot of time in Arizona.}</i></div><div align="left" style="margin-left: 8px; margin-right: 8px;"><br />

<div style="margin-left: 8px; margin-right: 5px;"><span style="color: #0066cc; font-family: Arial;">To see a tarantula in your dream, represents your dark and sinister side. </span><i>{Uh oh!</i><i>} </i><span style="color: #0066cc; font-family: Arial;">A tarantula is also symbolic of feminine power. </span><span style="color: #0066cc; font-family: Arial;">To see a spider in your dream, indicates that you are feeling like an outsider in some situation. Or perhaps you want to keep your distance and stay away from an alluring and tempting situation.</span><span style="color: #0066cc; font-family: Arial;"> To see a spider climbing up a wall in your dream, denotes that your desires will be soon be realized.</span><span style="color: #0066cc; font-family: Arial;"> Spiders are also a symbol of creativity due to the intricate webs they spin. </span><i></i><span style="color: #0066cc; font-family: Arial;"> </span> </div><div align="left" style="margin-left: 8px; margin-right: 8px;"><br />

Alternatively, the warehouse means that you are putting your ambitions and goals on hold. To see an abandoned or empty warehouse, indicates that your inner resources have been depleted. You need to take some time off to restore your energy and replenish your resources. </span><i></i><i></i></div><div align="left" style="margin-left: 8px; margin-right: 8px;"><br />

It is a metaphor for some form of insecurity. In particular, to dream that you are chased by an animal, represents your own unexpressed and unacknowledged anger which is being projected onto that animal. Alternatively, you may be running away from a primal urge or fear.</span><i>{I think the fact of the matter is that in reality I'm terrified</i><i> of all spiders...so I'm going to run like crazy is one ever chases me, lol}</i></div><div align="left" style="margin-left: 8px; margin-right: 8px;"><br />

There's an interesting Argentinian photographer, Irina Werning, who's making it happen! <i>Figuratively speaking</i>...<br />
<br />
Having a life long fascination with old photos, this photographer came up with the idea of reenacting them with the same people many years later. In her <a href="http://irinawerning.com/back-to-the-fut/back-to-the-future/">Back to the Future</a> project, she takes some of these aged photos and recreates them today. Check it out:<br />

[I'm seriously so sick of hearing about all the cheating/divorcing/love affairs that go on with high profile celebrities]. <br />
<br />
Here's the exciting news that I would like to focus on this week: a potentially new Hollywood couple whom I both equally love. It must be nice to be Leonardo DiCaprio- from models <a href="http://www.giselebundchen.com/gisele_home.asp">Gisele Bundchen</a> and <a href="http://www.barrefaeli.co.il/">Bar Refaeli</a> to 13 years younger, <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0515116/">Blake Lively</a>? This is definitely not a predictable match. I wonder if the rumors are true?!<br />

Candy, soda, string cheese, crackers, cereal, bagels, cookies, fruit & veggies platters...you name it. I have a serious love/hate relationship with the kitchen here. If ever I have a sweet tooth or need a mid-day snack, I know I can count on the kitchen. On the other hand it's hard to resist. Emily and I face the dilemma that is "the glam kitchen" on a daily basis: Do I eat a bagel this morning? Is this bag of pretzel's absolutely necessary to get me through the day? It's someone's birthday, which means I should participate in the celebration by eating cake. Seriously?! (I have yet to win the epic battle against morning bagels).<br />

Yesterday I was pleased to find a new addition to the office snack drawer: strawberry fruit roll-ups. I haven't encountered a snack like this since my elementary school days. I was so excited that I proceeded to be a selfish hoarder and snagged a bunch for my desk drawer. Such enthusiasm over fruit roll-ups got Emily and I to brainstorming some of our most missed childhood snacks. When is the last time you've had any of these classics from the 80's/90's?<br />

As a child I used to play in our back yard tree house with my sisters, swing in the hammock and hula hoop on the grass. We didn't have a swimming pool but the yard was large enough to lay out a slip n slide or inflatable pool. I have so many fond memories of that back yard. When visiting these days I tend to just lay out in sun chairs, read and relax. (I avoid la<span id="goog_798580117"></span><span id="goog_798580118"></span>ying on the grass nowadays due to the undisclosed location of Wyatt's feces). A backyard is something most people sacrifice in order to live in the city, and although I'm happy with my spot I can't help but miss having that private enclosed exterior.<br />
<br />
One of these days when I finally do purchase a house, I'm going to make sure the back yard is my greatest achievement. I may never be able to afford such luxuries, but these are some of my favorite and most inspiring backyards:<br />

They are actually really entertaining. I can especially appreciate the "about me" section on the site, as seen below. <br />
