Just When You Think I'm Done...

I find another person who loves peacock blue like I do...of course I should have known my BFF, Ranya Louise, would love it too. Side note to her name: We've known each other for a long time, and my legal name is Katherine Anne. Well, Ranya being a Middle Eastern gal, naturally needed a southern name too, hence, Ranya Louise. All of our correspondence contains our southern names. Now onto some pix. I did not do her place justice, I only took photos from the top of the stairs in her entry way, and should have snapped a few from the downstairs too...oh well, looks like I'll need to go back real soon and remedy my lack in photos...

Meet Ranya Louise.

My True Love

I honestly had no idea what I was getting myself into back in 2000 when I pulled out a map of the US to figure out my next place of residency. There really is no method to my living madness other than I get bored and need a new adventure, which tends to involve me moving to another state. I figure why not, if I don't like it I can leave. It's safe to say I fell head over hills in love with San Francisco. I can't explain it but there's something about this city that makes me feel alive like no other place can or does. Don't get me wrong I like Austin just fine but my heart belongs to SF.

Seriously, words can't describe my love of it. I would walk my neighborhood almost every night out to the lion steps just to take in the fresh air and beauty of it all. Like some people hug trees (Kerry) I walk the hills to see the views of the water. I am well aware it costs a mini-fortune to live there and it's worth every pretty penny to do it at least once.

I guess I should come clean with the fact it was 75 degrees and sunny the entire time I was there earlier this month, and normally July is the coldest month out there, but whatever. I got a little trigger happy with the camera to take it all home with me.
