it's a ruff life...

when you have big brown eyes like this and live in the o.c.

and your dog sitter drags you out on walks to look at this all day...

because you live across the street from it. 

it must get old...the view, the lake, the flowers....

those awful mountains in the background.
the sparkling water.
random strangers telling you how cute you are.
...and how soft your fur is.
everyday...
how are dogs expected to do this...day in and day out?

it just makes my dizzy think'in about it!

the best of cali with my bestie...

so once again i'm slacking...
i think i finally have figured out why.
i've self diagnosed myself...because i am that smart :)
i call it T.Z.D.
time zone depression.
here's the definition: when one leaves their favorite time zone and has to 
                              come home to their least favorite time zone.  
                              (exp.  when you spend 10 days in BEAUTIFUL california
                                with your best friend and then have to come home to blistering
                                hot, allergy ridden, bad hair humidity, flat kansas)
                             
works for me.
that's my story and i'm sticking to it.

anyhoos, enjoy some pacific time zone photos.

dana point:

5:00 o'clock somewhere....

before..

after...

knotts berry farm....home of the infamous picture.

creepy things:

(well it is!)

not so creepy thing:

the orange county fair.:

 ...and apparently you can grow sunflowers and palm trees together...just not in kansas.

and no fair is complete without a giant milking cow.

and btw... m & m pretzels seem to be the drug of choice for people with T.Z.D.
just say'n.
