blacklight

I put my blacklight inside my paper lantern to see how it looked. It's pretty cool but it's hard to see inside my closet. :P

aunt barb's

Tonight was pizza at Aunt Barb's house with Jillian and Jen - girl's night! woo! - and the Lopez girls. We had a lovely time hanging out and taking a bunch of pictures.


Aunt Barb in the kitchen


Mmmm homemade rice krispy treats!

yay Claire!

Claire says hello.

every 15 minutes

Every 15 Minutes at Heritage this morning. I didn't really know anyone who "died" or participated, but it was still pretty sad. I sat with HaLeigh, Rachel and Tara, and we got out of school for the morning along with the rest of the juniors and seniors.


What my siblings do all day.

gotta love springtime

Rain on the windshield while driving with Justin.

another monday

Lights at Heritage, dropping off the kids for swim practice


The gorgeous sunset with Mt. Diablo in the distance


Monica has unbelievable upper body strength. She pulled herself out of the walker to where her feet were at the level of the tray. She's a troublemaker.

easter sunday

Kids in the crowded choir loft.


Matthew, looking sharp in his church clothes.


Jose at Grandma's house for dinner, wearing my Target straw fedora.

el cerrito & berkeley

Adventure in Berkeley today with Justin and Jill!


Magritte


Jill and I both want this poster.


This squirrel was sitting on the fence right in front of us.


The sage shaker!


I Love You Man at the El Cerrito Speakeasy theater!


Live music at 33 Revolutions cafe!

Brunch at 33 Revolutions - mmm omelets and coffee.


Jillian read us a book while we waited for our food.

O_o

Bernadette says hi.

art class

Rachel getting excited about something.


Haleigh (texting!!1! oh noes) and Rachel, at our little table.


My finished Rainbow Surfer Chick mixed media piece! I feel that it ended up a little childish, but I didn't intend for it to be uber-professional to begin with, so I'm okay with that.


Mark stole my mutated orange! We hung out in 3rd period because Ms. Fav was gone and we had a wiggity-wack hippie substitute.

earthquakes, steak and Target - oh my!

Earthquake drill at school today in 3rd period... much to my dismay. I missed a lot when I decided to stay home yesterday, and losing class time didn't help me catch up.


Justin picked me up after school, and he and I went to Panera for a deliciously satisfying lunch. We love their Pick Two lunch deal!


Matthew had a $15 gift card to Target, and since Dad came home early today, we decided to make a trip out of it. Mark, Claire, James, Matthew, Dad and I all piled into the Taurus and drove up to the Lone Tree Way Target.


I got this insane hat, just because it was so crazy. Claire took this shot in Winco while we did a quick shopping run before dinner. Dad ended up getting three kinds of steak, and Justin came over, too. It was lovely!

exhaustion and potstickers

Today I really didn't feel like getting out of bed. I woke up with bad head congestion, and opted to stay hope from school in favor of sleeping all morning. My day really began at about 1PM with coffee, strawberries, and potstickers.

ice cream and doodles

Time for ice cream at BR! We stopped by for $1.99 sundaes, and I said hi to Melissa, Micheal and Brian, the closing crew.


Boo pricey gas! :/


Just in case you were itching to know.

sunshine on my mind

Walking to church at St. Albert's in Berkeley with the family


Mary, showing off her freshly-painted nails, thanks to Claire.


My new happy sunglasses, which I got in Berkeley day before yesterday!


Justin, wearing the hat he stole from me. :)

imagine

Rainbow-surfer chick! Inspired by MGMT's crazy trippy music video for Time To Pretend.

berkeley!

Justin and I went to Berkeley to find some cool stuff today. We drove in and meandered around the city, stopping at Amoeba Music and Blondie's Pizza (above).


Pizza! (We got yogurt, too, with Captain Crunch on it.)


My weird toes.


Some of the albums I thought looked interesting at Amoeba.

grades

Just got my report card today! GPA for quarter #3, senior year: 4.0. :)

justaaaaah

Justin and I playing Bumper Scare after we got his car from the Target parking lot.


I love this guy.
