October Wanderings







For someone who normally sleeps in and takes it pretty easy on the weekends, I had quite a bit going on last weekend. I went to a Halloween themed concert and then drove to a completely different part of the state. I'd say that counts as a busy weekend.

I've been to Kern County before, but it never ceases to amaze me that such a different landscape and such a different lifestyle exists just four hours from my Southern California home. It really just reminds me how big and diverse of a state California is and that I should be so incredibly grateful to live here.

Wishing you all a safe and fun Halloween weekend!

My Jane Austen Collection





Happy Monday, everyone! If you are reading this, then I am currently somewhere in the Mojave desert on an impromptu work trip. That unfortunately means no "new" content from me today, but I did forget to post my most recent video, My Jane Austen Collection, last week.

So here you go, a little Austen goodness to tide you over. Hope you all had a fantastic weekend!
