The beginning of August

What is your view at 5:30am? This is mine. Sometimes you see the same things everyday, but never actually take them in. I see these same palm trees outside of the parking structure at work everyday, but I never noticed there were lights wrapped around their trunks...until I was walking into work at 5:30am today. Note to self: be more observant.

"Graffiti is art & is art is a crime, let God forgive us all." I love this. When this was saying posted on the wall of one of the stores a few blocks down, it was the only thing against a blank white wall. Now, more has been added. Usually, this wall's art changes every couple of weeks, but actually "graffiti" is never added or anything. So, what I loved about this was that once this saying posted, the other graffiti began pouring in...I kind of even want to write something. I love the artistic expression it represents.

Thinking outside the box...We made Raspberry flavored whipped cream at work today. It was pretty amazing and reminds me of Valentine's Day. I cannot wait to try this exact same thing...but with PUMPKIN SPICE. It's going to be addicting.

I love me some good bagels. Nothing beats a toasted fresh onion bagel smeared with homemade vegetable cream cheese on a beautiful sunny morning. I finally a bagel place worth speaking of out here in LA. I miss Eastside Bagel (let's me real - nothing could ever beat Eastside Bagel), however, Noah's New York Bagels have the exquisite-ness of a freshly made New York bagel, as well as the decor...and as we know, I love NY. :)

I'm not generally a person that goes out to bars or clubs. I'm more of a person that loves spending the evening in with a good friend, a glass of wine, and some great conversation. Those are the kinds of evenings I cherish. Well, tonight Samantha came over and we had some wine, watched a movie, and talked (she talks as much as me. it's true. haha). It was such a nice, chill, and relaxing evening. The wine was great...and I only bought it because it has a "?" on it; no name. Love it.

I keep looking at the picture from when Jamie was here and I can hardly believe that this is where I live...well, it's only 3o minutes away. This is the Pacific Ocean as viewed at sunset on Hermosa Beach. Jamie and I walked all down the beach, feet (and sometimes our whole legs) getting wet from the incoming tide. Beautiful day.

Everything about this picture is beautiful and artistic.
