interesting week. finished up course one of my cake extravaganza & maybe just maybe i'm getting a little better. course two starts tuesday! wish me luck! moved david and kara into their new house. i think we all feel pretty invested considering the man hours we've put into 'buffing' the place. it's now a cute little home. my cousin dane and his fiance aimee were in town; we went to capitola & played at the beach with my madre. i seriously love capitola! bright row houses, kitschy boutiques, fun people, fun times.

then some not so fun times. austin and i wake up early every morning and he gets ready for work while i make him lunch. okay i probably miss two or three times a month, but i'm pretty good cause he puts in nine hour days and really the boy cannot stand to miss a meal. (sidenote: he is at an all time high weight! no one believes the # but kudos to me!) well tuesday morning i just couldn't do it. i was freezing my tail off and not hell or high water could have cajoled me out of that cozy bed. austin put another blanket on top of his whinny, frostbit wife and kissed me goodbye. five minutes pass. the front door flies open and chief tells me his car was broken into while on hold with the cops. okay. i'm up.

now this is a cautionary tale because we live in a seemingly safe gated community. :( well it was pretty banged up which was a bum deal. check this out: they sliced the soft top of his convertible open to presumably wiggle their way over the top of the seats. when my guess is a problem arose. few grown people can fit between the roof and headrests of a mazda miata. so they continued on, smashing the driver's window while crashing into the side view mirror, for good measure. there was glass everywhere and i can't help but ask why they didn't think this through. hows about you either ruin the top OR the window? please?! i'll pay you if you'll just stick to one. then it gets really good. they didn't take a thing! the nearly brand new stereo is untouched, ipod cable left alone, not a thing! what is that all about?! so whole new top, new window, new side view mirror, while we're at it let's fix that bump on the nose, you name it. $cha-ching$

the upside? austin got his lunch made before i woke up the bebe and we drove him to work...
