Oh the wonders of rocks and mountains

Greetings from California, where the weather was in the 70s! It's actually chilly and breezy at 1030pm, whereas last night in Tucson and Phoenix it was still over 100 degrees. Tucson had some lightning though, which I love. So, yeah, I'm at my mom's house, on the computer just like I would be at home. I have a few days of hanging out with family, plus a surprise party for a friend that I didn't think I'd be able to go to. I also get to play with my mom's dog. Whatever shall I do tomorrow? Perhaps go driving around and get my fill of TREES. The hills aren't green, but there's still more vegetation here.

Update on book choices: I grabbed Phantom of the Opera off the shelf one day, and have slowly been working on that. It's not actually that long, so I may finish it before I get back to AZ. I almost bought Children of Hurin and another Austen book yesterday, but held back. I have 2-3 books at home I should read before I buy another. I brought the teacher/classroom management book I need to read also, but I just don't want to deal with school. This procrastination will bite me in the butt later on, but it's SUMMER! I don't want to work!

I totally want chocolate.

oh my goodness! I just got back from Cali!

Whereabouts in that gorgeous state are you?!

I'm in Danville, which is in the east bay area. It still kind of feels like home here, even though I haven't lived in this area for 10 years.

I know exactly where Danville is =)

My stepmom has a house right on the edge of blackhawk out there..


...the weather is simply amazing up there =)

I grew up in San Ramon. I have been driving around today marvelling at ALL THE TREES. The only place in AZ I can think of with trees like this is Anthem, but that seems out of place since it's surrounded by real desert, cacti and all.
