creep me out, PLEASE!

all I wanted was to take a graveyard tour this last weekend, when I discovered los angeles doesn’t have NIGHT time tours (due to safety, permits, blah, blah, blah!!). who wants to walk through a graveyard at noon? not this gal. so I suggested sneaking into one….I think purr was the only one who supported...

santa monica stake-girls camp 2008

I know I am posting these MONTHS late. I think I needed time… I’ve never had a baby so this is just a guess, but I’m thinking the reason I waited to revisit camp was a little like why you wait between having babies. so you have a baby and as awesome as it must...
