Franny's Thanksgiving

I write from my grandma's couch, watching South Park episodes while my younger brother mixes a drink from the bar.  It's our last night hanging out before we both have to go home to our normal lives.  These few days have been a welcome reprieve for me.  Another one of those little trips that turns into a "what the hell am I doing with my life" kind of soul-searching.  Maybe more about that later.

So here are a few pictures from the weekend... enjoy!


A really lovely drive through Sonoma County on Wednesday afternoon.



The traffic was epic.  Truly.



I didn't help much with the actual cooking of the meal.




But I did enjoy eating it.  Back to calorie counting starting Monday.  Promise.

It was a great Thanksgiving.  So anyway, more South Park watching and then a few hours of sleep before the eight hour drive to get home.  But I have a feeling a certain someone will be looking forward to seeing me again... and I don't mean my cat.

Arts Alive!

All of my posts seem to be at least a week or two behind... I need to do better with that.  If only I had more time to spend at home alone, on the internet, instead of with my wonderful new boyfriend.  Just kidding! 


Here are two of my favorite pieces...

Gumball machine button baby doll robot sculpture...
failed to get the info on the real title or name of the artist...



mermaid with fishing lure tail... love this!

We went to the Morris Graves Museum of Art first, then down through some of our favorite spots in Old Town.  It was a fun night!  I had a blast... and of course, we finished it off with a visit to our favorite little watering hole, the Shanty!

Halloween Weekend

So much fun!

Halloween was great.  I looooved being Barbie!  The blonde wig was great... I have a feeling I will get more use out of it than I originally anticipated.



Barbie, enjoying a Mad River Brewery Steelhead


Super cute!  I wish I had a better picture of what I was wearing, but unfortunately I was too distracted (by the beverages, and my new guy) to record my costume.  Matt actually took this picture with my phone.  Matt is my handsome wonderful fella.  He bravely went with me to a work party on Saturday, and he was a champ the whole time.  Everyone loved him and gushed about how handsome he is. 

We went out to the Shanty too, Friday night.  I should have had more pictures of my various costumes (angel at work on Friday, top hat and tuxedo shirt Friday night, Barbie Saturday and Sunday) but as I've mentioned, the distractions. 


The pumpkins were very cool.



Love the spider

And there was much revelry and beverage drinking.  Barbie enjoyed beer, but took it up a notch on Halloween night.  Which may or may not have been a good idea, as Halloween was on Sunday, and Barbie had to work on Monday morning at 8 a.m.  I powered through.

So that's all for now, quite a lot of fun.  It's one to remember, glad to share it with you!  I will try to post more often.  I should be able to manage it a little better in the near future, as I settle into a lovely and comfortable new routine.
