Let me just warn you, I’m going to just send you in about seven different places today, so don’t even bother taking your coat off and getting comfy in that chair.
Don’t you hate it when I do that?
Today we leave San Francisco. We have a very late flight which does not excite me at all, but what does excite me is knowing that after tomorrow, my life resumes to normal…like really normal. I don’t even know what to do with myself besides do the laundry and go grocery shopping.
oh wait. that’s no fun.
Anyway, thanks to everyone who stopped by yesterday and left me a message or sent me an email or a tweet about Mother’s Day. The day started out great, we had a great lunch and did all of the touristy things (except Alcatrez, after two beers and a huge burger with blue cheese and bacon, I was so not interested in a boat ride, thankyouverymuch.) Anyway, some stuff happened that I will not go into detail about because it doesn’t matter, but it pretty much made the rest of my Mother’s Day not very good.
So, with tears in my eyes and a sad, sad heart, we went back to the hotel where I napped and we ordered pizza. Oh the glamour. Not exactly what I had planned for our last night in San Francisco, but if there is one thing I have learned in life is that you can’t plan everything. Well, you can, but it won’t always work out as planned.
Oh and everyone who called me cute yesterday? You are my new best friends. Cute is not the usual word to describe me, usually it’s unfortunate or something like that, so I’ll take your compliments and sleep with them every night.
Today is a Brand New Day (<–click on that link and listen to that song on his website, k?) and I’m drinking Peet’s coffee and eating some sort of pumpkin bread thing before showering and packing and walking around a bit more. I’m considering walking to Anthropologie because I have a sickness, but who knows what I’ll do. No plans.
Anyway, onto the other things going on.
First, I have a winner for the Kodak All-in-One printer, the winner is Zakary. Zakary is a girl and that is her real name which I think is incredibly awesome. Congrats to her! And I’m double crossing my fingers that she’ll win a trip to Blogher, too. She has a wonderful blog, check her out.
Also, check out Stephanie’s new design. I designed it and I love it. (is it okay to say that? I hope so, because I love it. A lot.)
I’ll be adding more photos to my print shop this week…I’ve heard lots of great feedback from customers, which is basically like someone giving me the biggest, warmest hug EVER. If you ever see a photo of mine that you’d like in the print shop, just let me know and I’ll consider adding it!
Also, I designed this Etsy banner, Flying Needles, check that out, too. And check out their items. So much talent.
And finally, I’ve been adding San Francisco pictures over here, check them out!
See? I told you not to sit down.
I was going to email this to you, but since I’m here and lazy, I’ll just leave it in comments. Last night, I had a dream that I bought one of your prints, and then I gave it to you as a present, and you basically said, Wtf is wrong with you!? A totally justifiable reaction, because once I can finally narrow down to which prints of yours I want to buy, I am so keeping them all for myself.
I love Steph’s new design. It’s so perfect for her!
When I’m not pregnant, let’s go to Oakbrook and spend hours at Anthropologie. The last couple of times I’ve been to Oakbrook, I’ve been pregnant or just newly post-partum and haven’t even set foot in Anthropologie, which is sad.
I feel like I need bullet points for this comment! I just got caught up on all of your tweets from yesterday, and I’m so sorry that Mother’s Day took a not so good turn for you. I really hope that going home and getting back into the routine helps that a bit.
p.s. I love you
Ooo, I love the banner! Beautiful!
Thanks for getting me up and around on a Monday morning!
The banner and design are wonderful! I love it.
Random is good, keeps us on our toes and keeps us focused. Have a safe trip!!!
I could live in Anthropologie. Hope you found some wonderful treasures.
I love Stephanie’s new design. Gorgeous.
And, finally, congrats to Zakary. Though I was totally fantasizing that I had won. But, a cool new blog to check out is a good consolation prize.
Safe travels!
I’m so excited Zakary won!!
And is all ok??
Steph
Thank you Beth. For the shout-out and for the awesome banner and button for the Etsy site. You do fantastic work! We couldn’t be more pleased.
I am sorry something spoiled your day but you writing ordered pizza made my mouth water.
Hope your flight goes well adn you get in early rather than late
I heart PEET’s!!! Have a blast. Oh and buy an umbrella at anthro… if I remember correctly, I did, since it rained our entire trip (but we still had a blast) and anthro had the cutest umbrellas.
Wow, you weren’t kidding! Thank goodness I can open them all in new tabs so I don’t get lost…
Wow, I don’t even know what to say except THANK YOU!
Steph’s site looks amazing and I’m glad you got to go to Anthro…I’m so jealous!
Zak
And fingers crossed I get to go to Blogher!
Of course, then I would probably have to tell my husband about my blog. I doubt he would be okay with me saying, “I’m going with a bunch of women I know from the internet…”
Or maybe he would.
Congrats to Zakary. I love Steph’s new look…great job! Your pics of your trip are awesome. I know you are anxious to get home to cuddle your 2 little sweeties.
I love your photography. I’m a fan just to take in your photos. I love them. Can I ask you what camera you use?
leave a comment on my blog or e-mail to me Thank you sooooo much. Love your blog.
