the parking garage in santa monica was packed this morning so i had to park on the roof. luckily it gave me a chance to see the views i would have otherwise never known existed! 

it’s been on my LA bucket list to go into camera obscura for quite some time. i finally did two weeks ago and it was really strange. its attached to a senior center, so it smelled like old people and old people food and was just kind of sad. and then once up there, i think it was broken…there was another girl trying to figure it out with me, but we couldn’t get the “360 view” of santa monica, it was just stuck on a view of the parking lot area if i remember correctly. so that was sad too. ah well, at least now i know. i do still love the building though. 

see last weeks painting here. 

i’m so proud of this one. i flippin love it! i almost want to keep it for myself, but alas, it is number two in sunny’s four-part series. i’m gonna try and be better and do this weeks painting tomorrow, rather than put it off until saturday night again. but i am pretty excited that i’ve stuck to it thus far. i know its only week three, but still. i think in these three weeks i’ve done one more painting than i did all of last year. thats sad. i hope its not true. anyway…week four comin up!

ta da! painting week two! technically, i painted it a day late, but shh. this is number one in a 4-part series that i’m doing for miss sunny!

i caught this light by chance friday at work and it made me so happy. i just love pink sky so much.

last night i had to do some last minute secret santa shopping on the promenade. everyone but me was starving, so after i found my gifts, we stopped in at cafe crepe. the crepes looked pretty delicious, but the unanimous decision was that the hot apple cider was the best decision we all could have made.
