quick game of pickup

Buckle up for the fastest, most abbreviated version of what I've been wanting to write about lately all smashed into one tiny quick blog so I can go eat sushi:

Palm Sunday rolled around and I ached for the feeling of walking down the cathedral aisles waving my palm branch proudly with my family while trying to behave ourselves for the sake of my parents who still think we're 10 every time (twice a year) we attend church together.


I talked about Hyacinth flowers being my most favorite things on earth apparently enough times, because although I could find them NO WHERE around town, Bubs managed to find the most perfect white ones ever for me. Filled my apartment with good memories and parties in my nostrils all week, just in time for Easter:

EASTER. Should we cook a traditional meal at home in my kitchen (I still have to buy basically everything for my kitchen) or should we go get stuff to have a picnic with on El Matador beach? EASY choice for this perfect weathered day. Snuggled into the sand in front of one of the beautiful little rock coves and ate yummy sand(no pun intended)wiches and (illegally) drank some wine. This day couldn't have felt any better and more full of reason, or so I thought. On the way back to our car, AT THE BEACH, there she pounced, right before our eyes: The Easter Bunny. Yes, it's true. I saw the Easter bunny, a real live bunny, AT the beach, on Easter Day. Perfect.

What next? Sushi time. Of course we picked the spot that was completely empty except for the most awkward two musicians on the planet playing for us all night. Enjoying some delish. sush. over some ear-drum-wrecking music (ok they actually weren't bad, I'm a jerk), we thought the night was coming to an end. OHHH no...
Come to the part of the night where we approach my car parked out on the street and find some guy stumbling around trying to open the doors. As we near, he acts like it's his car and leans into it. But realizing that it's actually OUR car, he stumbles on to the next vehicle. That is what too much alcohol does to you, kids, so be careful next time you go drink your weight in booze.

Is this night NOW finished? Nadda. Enter legging-wonder-woman. She darted in front of my car like it was her job. And her job's uniform was the most AMAZINGLY dizzying/unique crazy shade pattern of purple I've ever seen in my life. Wow. She didn't get hit, and neither did her leggings.

All in all... Thing's in my life are going well. Lots of new work/sites going up and the making of them pretty much consumes the rest of my time.

Speak soon.
