Queenkv’s Brainpickings

but now jennie wants to watch nemo again…..and then she popped it out again……um…i think i got her a little annoyed.

it was quite lovely today….we headed over to coronado with my parents - big military town. apparently the rest of san diego use to be all military, all the time. coronado looked cute, in a very newport way. we had breakfast at the hotel del coronado - site of marilyn monroe’s some like it hot. i just saw this film a few months ago - i remember when monroe’s girl band arrived at the hotel del mar and when tony curtis scaled the hotel walls to sneak back into his room. funny movie.

the hotel was decked out for the holidays - hopefully i can get those uploaded - i forgot the stupid usb cable in my car. but i did get my dad’s snazzy new phone to send me this pix.

a place to put down my roots

for photo friday….

i took this picture last May - during my birthday train trip in Napa.

even though my cousin says this movie reminds her of the stupid Keanu Reeves movie - A Walk in the Clouds - i thought this pix made sense for me.

today’s theme is desire. due to the changes in my life - all the upheaval and all the chaos of moving - I desire a place to put down roots - a place I can call home . i left job - and my heart numbed a bit - it was place i poured a lot of heart into, for the last 4 years. i left friends behind, in the bay area - and each good-bye squeezed my heart into pulsing aches. i’m about to say good-bye to my family and i know that will hurt even more……saying good-bye to Mark - a bittersweet moment that I dread - more than anything.

i know i can home to my family. i know i will have a home in Mark’s heart. i just hope that i can make that sense of home a reality. something warm enough to comfort me as i’m freezing my ass of for the sake of my degree- at Northwestern.
