Thank you so much for your photo feedback. The majority of you chose #2 Sassy Smirk as my author pic for Pretenders so get used to this mug staring back at you for the next four books.

It’s a lock.

After I posted last week’s Blah-g I hit Highway 1 for a road trip. The ultimate goal was Santa Cruz–about 8 hours north of Laguna Beach because Kevy, my life-crush, needed surgery. He had a sporty condition called, “surfer’s ear.” It’s what hawt guys get from spending too much time surfing in cold oceans. The water gets trapped inside their ears which causes bone to grow over the drum and ….zzzzz… Sorry, I’ll get to the good stuff. They had to remove the extra bone or he’d go deaf.

What? An extra cone went to the ref? 

NO! I SAID, “REMOVE THE EXTRA BONE OR HE’D GO DEAF!”

Sorry. I have surfer’s ear. Ever heard of it? (No pun intended.)

Anyway, we decided to drive the California coast and make a trip out of it.

We saw beached seals along the way.

And BeeBee tried to copy them. 

Our first stop was a dome shaped cabin in Big Sur surrounded by redwoods. It’s called the Jewel House and it was ah-mazing.

The owner is a magical artist named Sofanya. She left us easels and paints and told us to express ourselves. So Kevy and I co-painted this. The headlamp, however was all his idea. He also painted the dome house. Not bad for a headlamp wearing guy with surfer’s ear. But the true magic was found in my coffee. I poured some milk in my cup and then two seconds later this dude floated to the top. He looks like Frosty the Snowman. How crazy is that??? We left for Santa Cruz on Sunday and passed a few more noteworthy attractions along the way.

I am pleased to report that Kevy’s surgery was a success.

He even found a “perfect” log for our backyard. He wants to drill it into the ground and string lights to it and…zzz…

The bad news is he got poison oak while we were hiking and was miserable for the entire 8 hour drive back.

The good news? He’s still deaf from the surgery (and will be for another few days) so I listened to all the playlists he HATES!

WHAT? YOU KISSED SOME OF YOUR DATES?

(That too. Shhhh)

TTYW,

Lisi
