Today Deb G. and a t cue gasp of horror non-b.org friend of hers were in San Diego today. I picked them up from the Hyatt this morning and we dropped off their luggage at my house before heading out into the day.

Spent some time at the farmer's market. Booty for me consisted of lots of flowers, some gorgeous greens, a couple of avocados and shiny little jewels of yellow cherry tomatoes.

I got a little greedy with the flowers, thinking that all of the pretties should be mine. I ended up with three bunches of lisanthium - one white, one deep purple and one mixed white and lavender, two stalks of tuberose that are gorgeously fragrant and gently wafting through the house, a bunch of deeply red Gerber daises, some speckled astromeria and then impulsively some slightly sad yellow freesias because their season is long over and I won't see them again for a while. $25. It was a nicely even $20 but the freesia lured me.

Then the zoo.

The new Heart of the Zoo is open and we saw the warty hogs and the clouded leopards. I didn't see the crocs but then it is a whole new section so I don't know the layout yet.

Then it was Tiger River and the fishing cats who were napping instead of fishing. Jabba the huge male hippo was out today too.

Pandas were dead panda lumps but still leathally cute. Cat Canyon was the last destination and there were some gorgeous kitties. Though many were dosing in the siestaness of the afternoon.

After, as we were meandering towards the exit, we watched a male Spanish Ibex challenge and then beat the hell out of a suspended log. Given that there was a female next store with a wee little babe, I'd say that his instinctual urges were doing their job.

Did not see Kat and lori, though they were there in theory and no signs mentioned them being off exhibit.

Came back to the house for a while before my guests needed to be chauffered to the airport. So we sat sipping lemon water and listened to Deb's stories.

Once I got back home, I made myself a light supper of the yellow tomatoes, some fresh mozzarella and a drizzle of hazelnut pesto over farmer's market greens. All washed down with some Prosecco.

I have doors and windows open everywhere, a few candles lit around the house and life is feeling pretty damn good right now.

That sounds like a wonderful day, Cass.

That does sound lovely. My day wasn't like that t makes sad face, but still can't make myself post an emoticon

Mine was boring. But I almost finished watching Wonderfalls.

That sounds like a wonderful day, Cass.

Joey Potter sent me spam, and I am making peach mango salsa.

I will be making chicken tacos to go with the salsa.

My day was relatively boring. I was going to go to a movie, but then I was coughing and so I took some cold medicine and slept from 11 until about 3, at which point I was still feeling too groggy to do much, so I mostly hung around and watched TV.

My ears have been stuffed up for a week now. This is the weirdest feeling. I don't like it.

And now I keep checking my email. I'm trying to convince myself that I have a non-pathetic reason for doing this, but really, I'm just waiting for an email and can't stop checking to see if it's there yet.
