even a gloomy day...

... is brightened with a bloody mary that features a giant shrimp, overlooking the pacific ocean!  both the shrimp and i were overlooking the ocean, to be clear, and my husband was there as well. 

we are off celebrating his birthday with a night away from thing one and thing two.  a lys may be visited, for souvenir and research purposes only.ツ

there were vacationing knitters at the next table -- we exchanged ravelry names, and talked about stoplight vs. pay-attention knitting.  so fun!

i need to learn to use the camera on my phone.  this is ridiculous.
