Savouring Summer

Yes, I have two days left before the semester begins.  Yes, I'm trying to make the most of these last few days of freedom. 
And, if it looks like I'm having way too much fun....just remember, I'm missing all of you. :)  (And I'll be a dedicated grad student again in a few days!)
SO...let the pictures tell the story:

Ellen & I prepared a delicious meal for a Sunday evening ladies' night.  I made hummus, spinach dip, and pineapple salsa.

...and we shared great moments of laughter.  You should've been there.

Ellen's mom came into town Wednesday night, and we went out for manicures and pedicures Thursday morning! :)  (Marn & Melissa...WHEN you come, we will get them done...at a pretty reasonable price!)

Bonfire at Anna's Thursday night, followed by....

You guessed it!  KARAOKE! :) 

Friday morning = surf morning with Tiffany, Sherry, Ben, Toby, and Benyam!  AGAIN. I'm getting better...in fact, I think I can officially call myself a "surfette."

Saturday morning, Ellen's mom took us out to breakfast at a sweet little cafe in Fullerton.

It was delicious!

Bubble Tea with Sherry in the afternoon and a trip to the Chinese Market!

Saturday night, a few friends came in from the Bay Area...and we all went out for dinner!
