off-island state of mind

home is an island.

weekend-ing

And yet another weekend of escapism- this time back in South Lake Tahoe and enjoying snow whilst basking in loads of sunlight. It's a balmy 50 degrees in what might be considered the last of winter. I've forgotten what the warmth errr the heat back home feels like and I can't believe it's been nearly 8 months since having left. I remember everyone's faces like it was just yesterday's barbecue. Here in Tahoe, the debauchery runs high as anticipation of the Superbowl lingers. I have no clue what's going on but I'm here to watch.
This will truly be the last of our weekend getaways. We've had far too many lately and my bank account is begging me to take a break and act like a grown woman with a child who'll be off to college in 3 years instead of just being a thirty-one yr. old. I think about all the things I'm not done with in life and have inundated myself with so many plans, I've almost forgotten my role as mother is to keep still, for just a little bit.
My head stays in the clouds quite a lot when I fantasize about moving into a loft in the city or buying a gracious estate off the Santa Barabara coast. And opening my very own boutique, art gallery, or restaurant of good eats. Add that to publishing a print magazine or launching my clothing brand, I swear I get lost in my thresholds of reality but really appreciate my capacity to have an imagination that takes me far far away, beyond any weekend getaway.

mimi from guam

  • about me
      *off-island* refers to the state of being away from the island of guam. you can now follow my spin-off food blog, off-is land influence food refelections

      from my lush homeland to the city by the bay and into the far reaches of the suburbs, i've made my home twice. it was fun in my 20's and even better in my 30's. documenting it all makes me feel important (to myself). here you'll find my multi-tasking adventures with food and the fashionable, my love affair with my dvr, an occasional moment of profound thought, a lot of useless yet laughable ranting, and lately stuff about my life in constant re-arrangement. i'm only fab-ulous because it's in my name.
