oh boy. last final of the year tomorrow and do i ever not feel ready.
But banana walnut bread with chocolate chips is baking in the oven so...that's good.
 

We drove to Ventura on a perfectly sunny day.  We passed steep purple cliffs, farms dotted with flowers, and the seaside.  
I had this feeling of "developing a crush" on the boy when he put his arms around me and crouched me down to try and teach me the proper form for skipping rocks. 
Unfortunately, my rocks still don't skip and take to plopping instead. 
We shared clam chowder and Ahi for dinner, then took a power nap in the car of the Harbor Village parking lot. 
On the way home, we stopped by a little market for cherries and a cheap bag of oranges.

 

Today's itinerary:

2:30 Meet Leslie to tour my home for the summer
4:00 Kayak Ventura Harbor
6:30 Dinner
8:00 Golf n'Stuff

My dad intuitively errs on the side of conservative regarding social issues but is always willing to listen to the other side of the argument. 
Today, I told him why I support the ballot initiative to eliminate the death penalty in California.  He asked questions and posed counterpoints.
His perspective seemed to change when I suggested that the death penalty system is more taxing on the families of victims of death row criminals  
than a straight life without parole sentence would be.  He came around rather quickly and said, thank you for explaining your opinion to me.  

I put on my brightest Telefund voice this morning to ask for donations for my silent auction and was, not surprisingly, scolded by a hassled manager overseeing brunch at GOOD.  Yipes. 
Note to self, the whole transaction is better left to e-mail. 
Currently wearing office clothes at my desk while studying for my last final. 
Studying Robyn videos in case the application of her performance swagger translates to co-nfidence/mpetence in the courtroom. 
For snack, I had strawberries with vegan chocolate pudding.
