Trying to find my inner photograher in Balboa Park....

Lost my Art and Soul in Encinitas

Sometimes getting lost takes you places you didn't even know you needed to go. That's what happened this weekend while I chauffeured Crystal (long time college pal now living in OC) to a few San Diego Hot Spots. I was trying to find downtown Del Mar.. and instead found downtown Encinitas.. where we happened to find an awesome little store called Art and Soul where all different artists contribute all sorts of art work from metal working to pillow cases. Definitely a place to check out..

Where else can you get pillow cases as cute as these and get a one of a kind gift bag.. apparently kids that come into the store can decorate the bags with products of their imagination and those are given to the customers. Cool idea!

Weird Co-winkie-dinks of Life

So I was almost home from the gym last night and my fuel low light came on in the car. Not a happy event.. one of my pet peeves is pumping my own gas.. I can really get behind a state like New Jersey.. where such a thing is outlawed. Being Saturday night and all I debated with myself for a minute on whether or not to circle back around and head for the fuel pump or head for the shower and worry about it tomorrow. I’m not going to lie…it was seriously tempting just to cruise into my parking spot and call it a night… but then could I in good conscious purchase gas on the Sabbath knowing full well I could have avoided it? … Answer.. no.. I seriously had the distinct impression that I needed to go right then.

So I pulled up to the gas station still a little annoyed that my conscious got the better of me…and I was rewarded for my faithfulness..(ha, ha) low and behold my fabulous friend Pam that I hadn’t seen for weeks just happened to pull in to that gas station moments after me. Just a few minutes in either direction and we would have completely missed each other!

Sometimes the stars do a line!
