Zoom Zoom!

The weather is incredible today. It was warm and the skies were blue all day. But now, as the sun is setting and my lil kitty is staring out the window, they're fading from a hazy blue to dusty pink, and I can see the mountains far off in the distance.

This past weekend was so much fun. On Saturday S and I ran some errands and enjoyed a late brunch with his friends which included some hearty pancakes coated in pecan butter before stuffing ourselves silly just hours later on artichokes, potatoes, and blue cheese burgers topped with a compote of caramelized onion and bacon (made, of course, by S and D). We were joined by many friends, including Z and KL. Z had just returned from a conference in Savannah where we was on a panel and he brought be back an awesome t-shirt that says "Super Knitter" on it! KL and I decided she sort of looked like a girl from Teen Titans.


The next morning, three of us (soon joined by D's brother) sped off to the California Speedway for a few hours of Audi racing! There were four different events to do: a high speed lane change, an emergency stop, a slalom course, and finally, a chance to try out our skills on an actual racetrack. For each exercise we were paired with a partner and you got 2-3 laps each. S and I paired up and we soon had each other laughing and screaming (me) as we tore around the corners of the course dodging cones left and right. It was similar to the Mazda event I went to earlier in the summer, but this time we had 2 hours behind the wheel instead of 20 minutes.
