i'm lookin' at the man pre-schooler in the mirror

yeah..that's right...Bay Area!!!!

oooh-ahhhh

just so freaking pretty

we had a whale of a good time

it's in our DNA

wow! the crazy flurry of the holidays is OVAH!!!!!! (over). YES!!!!!! don't you feel calm...or calmer at least? that PRESSURE is gone (yeah yeah...it is all self induced...but it is still pressure...at least i'm not as bad as Natalie Portman, hangnail picker extraordinaire, (Black Swan, a very GOOD MOVIE...hello Oscar for Miss Portman, but what the hell? way too much pressure girl...) 
Anyhow, it is time for this stressed out family to relax...and do things like visit the Lawrence hall of science in Berkeley. 
Have you realized now just how much I looove California? And particularly the Bay Area? I know, I know...the entire world is really incredible but I feel so strong about this little piece of earth...YAY AREA! Such a sentimentalist!
