you're a wiz'uhd harry

this was a halloween of firsts; some great, some...well, just different.

::first time pumpkin patching in 90 degree weather, but first time with our cousins.

::first time NOT carving said pumpkins. usually we have too many choices and end up with 2 pumpkins per diaz. but this year, the pickin's were scarce and we only left the patch with 2 total! shortly after patching, i left on a last minute trip to seattle and didn't get my act together in time to carve when i returned.

::first time letting pj do his trick or treating with friends. e and i were feeling a little cheated, but made up for it by heading to hollywood and eating dinner accompanied by {a suprise visit from} Jonah and serenaded by thai elvis. no complaints.

::first homemade wizard robe.

::first {and last...at least until next year} dye job for peej. we started growing out his hair in august, so naturally it needed to be black. he was the spitten image. success.

what the? i have more excuses than fingers, so i won't even bother.

it is, however almost 3am and krista will be on her way in a couple hours to pick me up so i best be getting to bed or into the shower. i'll let you guess which one it's going to be, but it's not the shower, lemme tell ya.

delirious, i am.

buuuuuut....here's a couple pictures of the patch. krista said there was no patch in southern california. i said puh-shaw. turns out, not the most impressive patch, but it takes a lot to impress a NW girl. in the end, it was worth the 2 hour drive.

interior design is not my #1 passion, it's more like my 8th, maybe 10th. but. it does not mean i do not become speechless when i see inspiring beauty. my evening bloghopping brought me through this guy's website. i love.

i stole this from a friend's blog. awesome.

i just happened upon a great new blog called daydream lily and she posts a link to a site she found where you can enlarge your images in your post but keep the image quality. i've been wanting to do this for some time now, but assumed i needed to do it in photoshop. here's the link in case you're interested.

i want to go to there

do you ever get the travel bug so badly that it's all you can do not to sell everything you own and buy a ticket? i am dreaming of...



i am happy, oh so happy, to be living in california. but if money were endless, well....
