have you ever stopped talking to someone.. and not really known why? it sucks. so you try to avoid them, and they try to avoid you and everything gets really awkward. it starts to affect your dreams and you have this feeling that you really need to re-establish contact. so you do it. you reach out. you feel like a jackass because you're not even sure what the problem was in the first place. well, the other person feels just as much like a jackass as you do. and you feel better now that you've made yourself vulnerable. and they feel better because it's been weighing them down too.

sorry...

LA Auto Show

Went to the car show with Dad, Charles and Tracy and their 5 kids. Josh, Andrew, Daniel, James and little Katie. Of course the oldest child got lost - twice. but for the most part it was a good time. I'm not really used to hanging out with kids all day, so it was kind of challenging :) Gotta love the Lewis family..

Thanksgiving with Mom

Mom and i hung out at my condo and cooked an awesome lunch together. It was reallllly great to just do something normal with her. usually we have to plan something exciting like a trip to the museum or arboretum or a hike.
Thanksgiving used to be all about the process of cooking the meal and serving it to 25 friends and relatives. It was such a fun family gathering where everyone had a blast. Now it's about spending time with the few relatives that are left in California, no matter what we do...

M. Ward

Scot took me to see M. Ward on Saturday. It was completely awesome.. inspiring, smooth, kinda deep.. not my usual genre, but i'm extremely glad i went :)

Pictage Girls - and Nathan!!

Here's me, Lisa, Nathan and Emily taking a break @ work. Nathan Holritz is our Chattanooga PUG leader and was in town on official Pictage business. Great to finally meet you! Lisa and Emily are my partners in crime. An hour does not go by where we don't have each other rolling about thermometers or something similar.

what kind of drink are you?

You Are an Appletini

Most of the time, you're a typical party girl / guy. But when you get super sauced, you really up your sex appeal.
