the pelican



This year - March 2010
Last year - March 2009 
I found the pelican - we talked it over....
I look at this photo and just cringe! 205 +
I told *someone* I would post it on the one year mark.
So here it is!


Joe's Crab Shack - wonderful, as usual

A sand castle on the beach



March 2010 
It's a process - not an event.
An ongoing process....


Oceanside, Calfironia pier at night.
People make little bon fires on the beach.
You can see the lights on the pier for miles.


King Crab, salad
Water, coffee, 
Monster low-carb energy drink
Pistachio snack pack

Wish you were here!

  1. LOVE that cute pelican. :)

    And the Monster shirt! How cool is that?! Need to get me a Rock Star shirt. LOL

    You're doing great. Don't cringe at the old photos. They're great reminders of how far you've come.

    I wish I was there too! Looks so pretty and peaceful. Enjoy!

  3. Kelly - I want a t-shirt with a picture of YOU on it!
    Thanks for the kind words about the old photo...
    It's not at cringe "per se"
    It's only a mild twinge of annoyance!

  10. Mmmmm, crabs. I'd have to buy one for my cat or I'd be in big trouble. The other cat, not so much.

    What an amazing transformation you've made in a year. You go, Anne! Looks like you're enjoying your trip, too, which makes me happy.
