It's been so long...

Since I've been able to write in here! I came back from my family trip a few weeks ago and ever since I've been back to the grind. There was a part of me that didn't want to leave San Francisco--well, all of me didn't want to leave.

Being in two different climates in one week is so strange. It was about 120 degrees in Las Vegas, and most of the time was spent shopping. I'm surprised to be admitting this but I wish that we had done more wandering around instead of shopping. The shopping was supposed to please Amanda and Katie, I believe. Aaron and I didn't win any money in Vegas, so our plans for becoming rich and famous are put on hold.

San Francisco was wonderful! The weather was perfect--a nice and breezy low 70's. I absolutely loved the city and Haight-Ashbury. Luckily we visited USF, which is where I'm contemplating attending grad school for a MFA in Creative Writing. I still wished that we had did more sight-seeing instead of shopping.

Right now I'm taking a break from writing three stories for the magazine. Sometimes when you're writing multiple articles simultaneously, the stories begin to sound like one another. I'm hoping that taking a five minute break will revive my creative juices.

So my sisters and I were thinking about starting a restaurant. Not a really fancy restaurant, but a cozy bistro that has really tasty homestyle food. A coffee shop in Haight-Ashbury has been my influence. I think it was called Coffee For the People or something. It was a decently sized coffee shop with older furniture and a large bookshelf taking up an entire wall. The bookshelf was full of books and old board games like Life and Clue. I definitely want to become the pastry chef. We're still discussing the possibilities.

Well, I have an article to proof. Hopefully I can update more often.
