A love and hate relationship


When the word muffin top comes to mind it is both good and uncomfortable. I swear if my work brings these box of muffins around more often I will have a full blown muffin top. But these muffins are so delicious. They are from the Walnut Creek Baking Company. I think I ate 3 muffins today before 1pm. mmmm!

Chalk Full of Sand

I love living in Alameda and having enough abandoned parking lots from the old Naval Base to create the Guinness Book of World Record for the largest chalk drawing EVER. While Kc was diligently working for Orkin, Whitney and Bret Baker and I biked over to the Alameda Point and started to leave our marks, after a mandatory pit stop to Lee's Donuts.

I decided to draw a bathing beauty in a neon green inter-tube and a polk-a-dot one piece.


Bret and Whitney's very edgy graphics. As well as the friendly bicycle.

Brad and Monica came to join the fun. We are trying to show how dirty you can get beating a Guinness World Record. The people in charge outlined the entire image and kids from schools nearby and the rest of the community came to fill in the whole graphic. After the whole drawing was complete a satellite took a picture from above.

On the bike ride home we found an annual sand castle contest on Alameda's South Shore. We saw such a huge crowd and doubted it was for Alameda's quality beaches. These are some of the castles/creations made.

All together a perfect Saturday morning.

Softball and cupcakes





Happy Birthday Joel, Boom Goes the Dynamite really improved last game and are seriously due to win.
