walk the labyrinth.

back from san francisco. awesome time biking the 25 mile in napa valley...despite the fact that i could not partake in wine tasting, due to my unfortunate lack of a protein slash allergy to sulfate, i have learned. still, that did not prevent me from having an amazing time with my cousin, rochelle, who lives on fillmore...near fillmore and bush. fillmore.bush. HA. i thought it was funny.

after taking a sweet ass flight from LAX to san fran via virgin america, after listening to some john mayer, some paris hilton and some rihanna, took a little cabby cab cab to my cousin's hospital, then hung out in the heart of san fran. we met a garbage collector. a surfer. and an aspiring fireman person. i mean, seriously? whatev, it was all good. the brotha tried, but i said no. pat pat, on my back, right cousin? :) ...we wound up at the new DANNY's. yup, not even denny's. disgusting. but delicious trucker food at that hour of the early morning.

saturday, i took the liberty of taking a nap in the middle of the day, woke up at 3 and walked around a little more. packed up, then headed over to windsor for the timeshare. pack up the car, play with my godchild and head over to napa valley in the AM. beautiful. loved it. sooooo nice. i'm a fan. for sure.

finish the 25 with flying colors, sore legs, a smile on the face, and a full on cyclist outfit, as if i'm hardcore. i totally am. headed back to the city and walked the labyrinth. walk and figure it all out, dissect...shed...walk and follow the path. end up in the center, release, take in, and head back out into the world, and put it into practice. and i, my friend, am taking that which i experienced in that labyrinth and super excited to walk it out.

grab another drink, meet some sveden men - just like that, and eat a cheese plate, and take a risk in drinking some wine that does NOT have sulfate. JUST to see if i would break out in hives, get itchy, or swell up like a balloon...and what do you know? sparking wine, you are my hero and gosset is the name of the game. the snob drink. perfect.

bless me, i just sneezed. time to shower - already unpacked, and time to head over to my best friend's house for some rest and relaxation and some quality time in the comfort of my gpark's apt. just what a girl needs.

life gets hard. but when it does, you always have the option to get on a plane.
and...that's what i came up with.
