there is nothing better than coming home from a weekend away with friends with a new perspective on home. it occured to me as i walked down to the russian river {barefooted all the way down to the landing where the squishy mud stuck between my toes} that i need to be outside more! smell the grass, roll around in it and feel the weight of the earth beneath me, take walks with out a purpose, feel the sunshine... ahh so good. this realization also comes during a time of extreme busyness with an upcoming show, school and a part-time job search. i'm going to take a week off of blogging and rededicate that time to walking around the block, or up to bernal hill with a friend or to dolores park with my notebook. i will miss y'all this week, but enough time is spent for me in front of the computer! basta!
please check back in a week and i'll have new work to show:)
see more glimpses of our weekend here.

oh i'll miss you! but i know that feeling of needing to get out! who plays accordian? my friend is in a fantastic all female accordian orchestra.
Have a super break! I just got back from a flurry of wedding, baptism, visiting with relatives I haven't seen since I was a tot, and now I'm home and pooped! I thought I'd get back to blogging again, but I think I'll need another short break to recover from traveling with a toddler via airplane for 5 hours to and from. Anyway, just popped by to say, hiya mati! Take care and have fun afk (away from keyboard). Oh, btw my e-mail address is anj@commonforest.com. I don't want to lose touch, either.
I have such fond memories of a mini vacation my husband and I took to the Russian River when we still lived in California: floating in inner tubes in the sun, camping, champagne tasting... Love it there! Looking forward to another California mini-vacation soon to visit sister in San Luis Obispo - more wine tasting and a little bit of sunshine for pale Oregonians! Good luck with all your upcoming stuff!
good for you! find good things [as if you wouldn't??]
xoxo
I hear ya! Have a wonderful week just BEING!!! Look forward to your return and hearing about your journey. Take care.
we will all miss you. But, i do understand. Computers can suck time so quickly from us....if only working flew by us so quickly :)
i just wanted to stop by and say: thank you! :) i hope your week away was filled with lots of grass and sunshine!
Fill your weekend with wonderful memories! Can't wait to hear them all!
Good for you for taking a break!!
Mati! You call that a MINI blog break! Oh how I've missed you! Hope you are having fun. And you must know you've made me a blog addict (I'm even trying out my own, but it's a bit of a secret, I'm not ready to commit to it yet.)
