You guys! Less than a week left until I go on vacation!
I was just soo excited to escape the rain, but when I checked the weather today for Ensenada, it looks like the rain will be following me there!
Noooo! Now, I have to rethink about the packing.
I wanted to bring summery clothes and swim suits. But I guess now I have to consider the rain.

Andrea, When I saw the photo of the passport and lip balm, I thought, gosh wouldn’t it be wonderful if that was all we needed to leave. There was a time when that was all I needed, but now I find it takes me days to prepare for what happens at home while I’m gone. I copied the recipe of the fabulous salad and dressing. I am with you, no carrots or celery in my salad. Hope your vacation is exciting and rest-filled at the same time, no matter the weather.

I apologize if my going on is too personal. I tend to talk alot and be a little overly friendly at times. My bad.

Andrea, never give up on the sunshine. Those weathermen and women drink after all! I live in Northern Cal. Up her in Redding, north of Sacramento. We are having loads of rain as well. But up here, we embrace it because once summer hits we will be in the 110s. for months.
I love beer brownies recipe. I am more like you, I”ll stand there at the counter and have *just one* and then it’s like the crumbs are calling to me, so I *have to* eat all the crumbs or they will get hard as rocks and be no good to anyone. Then, I need a forkful to hold me over for a couple of *hours*. Yeah, right, Hours turn into minutes turn into seconds. BUT THEN I turn into your mom. After I have my fill, I won’t touch the rest of the batch and I have to beg my family to eat the rest otherwise it’ll go to waste. LOL I’m such a ninny.
The small batch mentality is perfect. Who is this Christina? Is she the gal from TV?
The Chamonmile Lavender Latter sounds relaxing but my wife has issues with milk. Even Cashew milk and Almond milk give her trouble. Can you think of anything else to put the flowers to that would make a great drink?
By reading your stories and descripitions, you sound a bit like me. I am a Sagittarius – ESTJ – Extravert, Sensing, Thinking, Judging and my outlook on life involves a lot of humor but I don’t laugh at myself as much as I could.
Have you found your Hygenists job yet? Good luck with that. Wishing nothing but good things for you.
