Food on the table
Went to a craw fish boil yesterday in Tiburon. It was a gorgeous, sunny, warm day out there. There are more pictures back on my Flickr page. Check these little beasts out.

To tell you the truth though, it was a bit of work for not much pay off. You only really eat the tail meat and as you can see, they aren't that big. Oh well, it was fun to spend the day with law school friends and others just enjoying the food, sunshine, and company. Oh, and did I mention the hula hooping? So fun.

Cartwheeling My Way Through Summer

You know when you feel like you're entering into a new stage of your life, you want to do something to commemorate that? Well, my life is in a constant state of flux, but I feel the cogs churning, therefore, I have dyed my hair red. I also have decided to take my health more seriously, hence in the last month I have laced up some new running shoes and run at least three miles three times a week, which will hopefully allow me to run in a 5k by next month. Most importantly, I have decided that I should spend more time doing things I love, which includes cartwheeling, smiling, and sometimes letting my feet lift off the ground.

PS-Don't I look like a pro cartwheeler? I am pretty proud of those pointed toes.

Lemon Tree

In my back yard there is a lemon tree with tons of tiny little lemons. This one's not even the size of a golf ball. Life's given me lemons...good thing I'm a fan.

Menu for the weekend: Wilted spinach with garlic, lemon, and feta. Perhaps served over pasta and tossed with shrimp. Yum!

New York Visit: Point Pleasant

Point Pleasant Boardwalk View, originally uploaded by leilanijs1.

Currently my desktop background. Point Pleasant boardwalk was gorgeous and while I'm currently sitting in dreary San Francisco, I think back to a week ago and the warmth of the sun, beaming down, freckling my arms and shoulders. The smells of sunscreen and salt water. The sounds of carnival rides and arcade games and laughter. Cotton candy and photo booths and best friends. It's hard not to miss that...
