I will eventually recap my entire birthday trip.
It just might take until my next birthday.
I posted our Golden Gate bridge urban hike, but after that we packed up and headed south down Highway 1, the scenic route down the coast of California. It’s a beautiful trip – if you ever have a chance to make the drive, DO IT!

Serena Williams is a beast.
(In the best way possible.)
I was on the elliptical (effing cardio) reading an interview with Serena Williams… and nearly stopped in my tracks when I read this quote:
I hate losing more than I like winning.”

♪ Purple hair, purple hair… ♫
The Prince tribute was just a coincidence.
Remember the mermaid hair? I think Im even more obsessed with this color.
I cannot pass a mirror without staring. Vegas keeps saying “did you know your hair is purple?!” and “I married a unicorn!” She loves it. I think.

I completely forgot I was hosting WIAW today.
But I have a really good excuse.
I’m too busy going to doctors and laying around like this:

Vegas is an expert at teaching me a lesson in “never say never.”
Marriage, camping… NASCAR.
We’re on an epic camping trip right now. And by camping, I mean “glamping.” We have an RV complete with stove, shower, and toilet. Just my speed.
We started in Vegas for the NASCAR, and we’ll end in Phoenix for a few Padres spring training games. Today we’re in Page, AZ to see Antelope Canyon. This is the view I woke up to:

I tasted over 60 wines in 2 days.
I didn’t swallow. TWSS
Vegas and I ran off to Napa to take a wine course. It was amazing and crazy. I’ve never tasted so much wine without a drinking a single sip.
Our last day there was meant for fun though – we visited 4 of the best wineries I’ve been to!

I’m pretty impulsive.
In case you didn’t get that from the time I ran away and got married…
Yesterday I decided I didn’t want to go to the gym and would instead go for a hike. Not so impulsive… except that it was already getting late, it’s been in the 80s here, the previous day was leg day, and I’m still supposed to be rehabbing my ankle from my PRP treatment.
No matter. At 3 pm I headed out to Cowles Mountain. It’s only about a 20 minute drive inland… but that resulted in a 10 degree difference in temperature. It was 91 degrees when I started the hike.
The gorgeous blue sky and visible midday moon was a nice distraction from the heat.

I actually love politics.
Who doesn’t like to see well-educated people look ridiculous on stage?
If you know me, you know my favorite people to make fun of are Sarah Palin and Donald Trump. They make it too easy sometimes though. Palin endorses Trump… then her son gets arrested… then she lies about his PTSD and tries to blame others for his bad behavior. Just wow.
But, you have to laugh. Otherwise you’ll cry. In that spirit, here are some things that DO always tell the truth:
