I walk into my office and look out my window and see in the bed of the Toyota truck below...



The floormat. LOL.

This is the parking lot outside my office. I need to put batteries in my good camera and take better pictures tomorrow. The tree is covered with these white blossoms.



In other news, someone bought me Bill Clinton's autobiography My Life for Christmas, and I sarted reading it this morning. It's really good. I'm really enjoying it, and the best part is that as I read it, I can hear him in my head speaking everything in his luscious voice and it makes me even happier. I love Bill.

There is a pair of what Travis and I think are Sharp Shinned Hawks that screech and fly around our office building. Travis and I are big bird watchers so we love watching them. This morning one was in the tree across the street (right in the view of our office windows) pulling some creature apart piece by piece. So first Travis went out to look (I thought I got a great picture of him looking up at the tree [I took it from my office window] but my hand was shaking and it was really blurry) then I went out to look and take pictures. Here's the hawk and the carcass (it's very hard to see - I tried to 'shop it to make the hawk and the bloody mess of what we think is a pigeon more visible) and then two pictures of the mess below. Some poor shmuck in a Honda parked on the street has pigeon guts, blood, bones, feathers and hawk shit all over his car. Check it out.

( OMG NATURE )

Enjoy!

Random things are random.

It's the annual Fiesta here in Santa Barbara, and one of the bosses here gave everyone $10 to go there and buy lunch to stimulate the economy. I'm on phone duty today so my co-worker took my $10 and bought me food and brought it back from one of the food stands.

Mmmm....tacos.



ETA: Holy SHIT the sauce on these tacos is hot.

So I have this job interview on Wednesday morning in Santa Barbara. Since part of this job is sales, I want to look good. So I went and bought some lipstick (don't laugh) and I thought the pores in my nose and on my chin looked a bit clogged. So, for the first time in my life, I bought a combo pack of those Biore strips - some for the face and some for the nose. 15 minutes ago I slapped them on my face, and just removed them.

OH MY GOD! I pulled the most foul yet intriguing oil "worms" out of my nose! There were hundreds of them! It was wonderful! I was full of rapture! I want to do this every day!

So, I'm happy. And my skin looks much better now.
