The font in my blog keeps changing because I can't figure out what I used the first time. hah!
Hopefully this is a little easier to read than the last few posts.

I bought a new supplement, it's called VEGA. It has so much shit in it, like folic acid, b12, and every type of vitamin and mineral that your body needs. It also has Omega 3 and 6 in it, which is something you get from eating fish. The reason I started taking it was because I noticed I've had low-energy lately. I tried a few of their smaller packets, and after having to pinch my nose to get some of this shit down, I concluded that the berry flavor is the best, and I can drink it ok. It's kinda crazy, because I can totally tell a difference when I take it. Makes my body feel good, and definitely gives me more energy. Right now I'm just taking it every other day, but I might start taking it daily. Ok! Enough about that shit.

Joe's parents and my parents were just in town, and we had such a good time. Went to the tulip garden inside the Bellagio, the spa, a mini car show, red rock, and ate good food all weekend. I only get to see my parents every 3-4 months, so its always really nice to have them around. My dad ended up getting my Apple Desktop, and hooking me up with a new Macbook that's aluminum. shit is nice. I'll be able to use it a lot when I go to grad school.

In other news, pretty much decided that were moving in July, and we'll have a place in SF by August. Gonna find a cute apartment, hopefully in inner richmond. That's where we'd like to live ideally. We'll see what happens. Gonna launch our new website this week, so we've been going over the last minute details, and I think were alllllmost there... stay tuned! www.houseofcommonslv.com

Wish I could be standing at this corner and drinking coffee every morning. This is where Novelo works in San Francisco, in Cole Valley. Stoked on some new logos that Jonathan made for us, and I'm working on new stickers and tee's for the shop. We are super close to launching our new website! Stay tuned. I know it will be a lot of work, but it will be good to have our products be more accessible to the world.

Visiting Olivia in LA this past weekend, and it was nice to spend time in parts of LA that I've never really been around much. Spent time in thrift stores in Los Feliz, and went around Silver Lake. It was like experiencing a whole new side of LA. Had a great weekend, it's always nice to visit LA.

So many things coming up. My parents and Joe's parents and cousin will be in town this weekend. Should be super fun, and super crazy also. I'm looking forward to it. Novelos gonna be in town April 7th-9th, and then Joe and I will be going out of town on the 10th! It will be our four year anniversary, and we're flying to Austin, and taking our bikes with us. Should be amazing.
Been going to the gym a lot lately now that I'm not working for Safekey anymore. So nice to finally have a regular day and get the shit done that I need to. I think it's almost time to have a garage sale, and get rid of shit in our house!! Joe and I have already packed like 6-8 boxes of clothes that we are going to donate... Should I try to sell them first? It would just take a lot of organizing to get it all done, but we might make some decent money. I have a nightstand to sell, a bike, and so many other random things. Should be good. More later!

My Nagasawa.

Rode it to work this morning, and it really is the perfect bike for me. A little small, but I might just have to suck it up, because I don't know if I can find something that I'll like better.... We'll see what happens. Playing some Smiths in the shop today, and gotta import more products for our new website.... Moving to California is my motivation to get shit done!

Canon Fail

My Camera is jacked! the screen goes black, so you can't see what you're shooting. I took it back to best buy, hoping I could just get a new camera today.... but they have to send it back to canon, and that takes like 3-5 weeks for repair. such a bummer! Especially cause we're in the middle of taking pictures for our new website. Guess I'm gonna have to teach myself how to take simular photos on joes camera. OY!

Good Things to Come

I've actually been in a good mood lately, and I think I know why.There are finally things to look forward to and be happy about. I've been on craigslist almost everyday, looking at apartments in Inner Richmond, that accept dogs. Kinda tricky to find! I've been thinking that we can also move into Joe's parent's house for a minute and look for places to stay in the city until we find the right spot. I've also been thinking about the things I'm going to take... it comes down to my nightstand, dresser, clothes, and sewing machine, and of course bikes and dogs (thats a given). I think we'll start from scratch in our new apartment and go Ikea shopping, and really just do it right. Very minimalistic, very few things, and that's how we both want it.

It's so beautiful outside today. Rode my Nagasawa to work, and I guess I've been getting a little used to my Litespeed, because my pedals were pushing up my legs a bit. But it feels good to be back on her. Also, gonna try to finish up Watchmen today, because we're going to the theater tonight to watch it. I must finish it!!! Sooo excited.

Time to work, and look at the beautiful weather outside.

This weekend in SF, I felt home. I felt like I belonged there, and I felt happy. Everyone knows the intimate feeling of belonging, and when we are in San Francisco, it touches home. Breathing in the fresh air, seeing all the kids ride around town, the colors, the energy, the mood. Everything fits like a puzzle, and I feel renewed, as if I can breathe again. Time to say goodbye to Las Vegas.
