Beach Trail Monday

The San Clemente beach trail is kinda my favorite thing right now.  Emma and I frequent it once a day for a leisurely walk or an easy 4 mile run along the coast, easy cause it's so pretty you can't even tell you're exercising!  I love running next to the gorgeous trains as they hug the coastline with me and the air isn't too bad either.  Mornings are crisp and cool and sunsets are like watching a giant peach fall into the sea, illuminating all that is around.  Sorta beats Griffith Park hikes majorly, I do miss my Observatory and climbing that backbone trail though.  

I still can't believe it's December already... Can't wait to head up North for a huge Family Christmas party and winter vacation this weekend! 

Dog Gone Thursday

Emma, I adore you.  How did I ever get so lucky to adopt you five years ago off Craigslist?  Yeah you were difficult at first, I would be too if my old mommy had to get rid of me.  You've become quite the hiker, companion, tap dancer, and all around top dog!   Thanks for being the best cuddler ever, even though you take up 3/4 of the bed and try to push me off from time to time. 

You bring me so much happiness and joy, I love you.

Music Mondays

Emma was really hesitant about me blogging this morning, I mean look at that face!  Her grunts and shear determination to cuddle was just too much.  At least she wasn't plopping her head on the keyboard and typing for me, she has allot of important things to say my dears.

Welcome to the first of many Music Mondays to come!  I sure have been enjoying this effortlessly rainy weather and it's fairly important to pair some good tunes with it and a glass of wine wouldn't hurt either. As of late I have become obsessed with anything that RAC remixes, why?  Because they take an already awesome song and make it even better!  I'm not talking tricked out electro-crap, sorry I fell off that train years ago.  Remix Artists Collective do it for me and I'm sure they will do it for you too.  Listen, download, love em!

P.S. tonight I'm going to take a stab at covering Coldplay's Yellow, I'll share it with you soon.
