Check out this spanish class in Ensenada. I totally want to do this!
Ensenada, Mexico
Speak Spanish in Baja
Get beyond your Mexican-restaurant-level Spanish without going back to school by spending a week at the Baja California Language College in Ensenada, Mexico, where there are no exams or grades. Thursday afternoons are set aside for excursions to a winery or a local taqueria to learn the difference between salsa verde and pico de gallo -- en español, of course.
Play hooky: Afternoons and evenings, you're free to surf, explore the area's burgeoning wine region or practice your language skills at the harbor's fish market as you search for the perfect tacos de pescado.
Info: Year-round; $279 for weeklong classes in which you log 30 hours; 877/444-2252. -David Lansing

Locks Of Love
September 2005
All this talk about cutting my hair got me thinking about the time when I REALLY cut my hair! In September 2005, I chopped off 12 inches to donate to Locks Of Love.
AFTER
The short hair never looked this good again. I just had no idea how to style it. And my hair is naturally wavy so it was always getting big and pouffy. It look 15 months to grow past my shoulders.

Haircut
After months of avoiding scissors, I finally got my hair cut (more like trimmed) this week.
I tried a new place, Travis Parker, in La Jolla. Cheng did my hair and I LOVE it! I told her I loved my length, but I needed to take a couple inches off and shape up my long layers. My color had been suffering too. I made the mistake of getting highlights earlier this year, I really hated it on me. Cheng did a 2-step color, trimmed up my layers and provided fun genuine conversation.
AFTER
I love the dark color and shape of the layers!
Oh, she did a conditioning treatment too! Thats why it's so shiny!
Yay, It's the NEW Emily :D

See the brassiness of the highlights showing through?

Virgo- July Horoscope
Several years ago, my good friend Lindsay Brockington, turned me on to AstrologyZone.com. I love checking my horoscope the first week of the month to see what the next four weeks have in store for me.
Here are some things we should look out for:
"If you are attached, you will love the surprises your partner presents over the weekend of July 5-6 when Venus will reach out to Uranus. You've been working hard, and you do need a weekend to help you unwind and to leave behind everyday life, if only for a few hours. "
Yay, we will be at Disneyland!
"This month, you have so many reasons to be excited! Mars in Virgo will allow you to become more physically attractive, so spiff up your appearance! You'll have to deal with the extra fuss, but that's a lovely problem. Virgo is a shy sign, so while others may say, "Gee, that's easy, having lots of attention," it's not always easy for you. Get used to it, dear Virgo, because through attention will come romance."
I did just get my hair cut and colored!
"Your most important day of the month will come at the FANTASTIC, tender full moon, July 18. This full moon will be operative from July 16 to 22 and will light your fifth house of true love for the first time in a year."
hmmm, July 18 huh, that is a Friday. We'll have to wait and see...
"If you want to take a vacation, this month would be a good time to go, particularly anytime after the new moon July 2."
Disneyland!

La Puerta
At 9:00pm last night Abe and I realized we had not had dinner, we were hungry and that the longer we tried to figure out where to have dinner, the fewer our options would be. Late night dining in San Diego is not impossible, but it can be tricky.
We decided to try a new place we read about called La Puerta. I'm so glad we tried it! It was D-LISH!
La Puerta is in the Gaslamp at 4th and Market (across the street from Cafe Sevilla). It is a small place, more bar than restaurant. The decor is simple, yet stunning, dark and cantina-ish. I had the La Puerta Margarita (no sweet & sour mix, YAY!). Abe quenched his Tuesday night thirst with a Bohemia (my personal favorite of the Mexican Beers). We shared guacamole, it was good, but not the BEST. For dinner Abe ordered the surf & turf burrito. I didn't taste it, but he said it was "real good." I got the Mexico City salad with chicken. The salad was HUGE and very tasty, spicy too. I was not very hungry so I have like 3/4 of it left to have for lunch today. I can't wait!
Oh, and the best part about this new San Diego treasure...our entire meal (drinks, guac, entrees..) only cost about $50, including tip (20% always, unless the service is exceptionally bad) and they serve food late night!

Howdy Neighbor!
Today my neighbor is Science and Beer, http://scienceandbeer.blogspot.com/
This guy knows his beer!
"Great refreshing beer. Noble hop aroma, pilsner malt aroma, tastes a bit fruity like an ale, but with a great pilsner malt backbone. Good malty finish. Easy drinking beer. This is a perfect lawnmower beer. Great for a hot afternoon working outside, or sitting by the lake. I can see this is a crowd pleaser."
Oddly enough, his most recent post was about vacationing in San Diego, staying on Coronado and going to the Coronado Brewery!
