vee day

\

six weeks doesnt seem like much of a long time. its the middle of february, and im going to be leaving california in a little over a month. ross and i have a set departure date for our journey. march 26th. its a friday i believe. and then 3 whole months of travel, of adventure, of liberation! its amazing to think that the only requirement of my day is that i must ride my bike. and that those three months are filled with so much unknown is the most exciting part about it. i dont ever want to go to work, knowing im leaving so soon, but i must. so i can eat yummy food in all sorts of places! like gumbo. and big steaks.

speaking of yummy food, v-day was a yummy food explosion. ross got some sweet orange flowers for me and a rose and picked some yellow wild flowers from the yard and made bouquets in a bunch of glass bottles we had laying around! and made me lunch! couscous with broccoli, asparagus, and corn, and curry hummus with pita and carrots! yumyumyum. i participated in the food celebration with a bag full of panchitas pastries! later that night, we traveled to richard and bridgetts for a v-day dinner party! richard made baked ZITO and bridgett made rosemary potatoes, chicken caesar salad, and cupcakes. then we drank alot of sailor jerry (and the best sangria ever!) put on wigs, and transformed into a metal band.
