HOWDY TEAM!!!

We’re halfway through the week. Movin! Groovin! Doing our best!!!

Do I dare say I kinda want it to be fall now??? 😭 NOT because I’m over summer. You guys should know me better than that by now. I’m just craving one rainy, cozy day where I don’t feel obligated to go outside because it’s beautiful or sit at my desk yearning for the beach lmao.

Lobster too buttery, I guess.

But seriously, a little rain in San Diego gives us permission to slow down. Stay inside. Do nothing without thinking damn I should really be outside right now.

Apparently, that might be in the cards this weekend??? But every time San Diego says it’s gonna rain, we get like seven drops and a wet sidewalk, so I’m not getting my hopes up.

ANYWAY. We’re still squeezing everything we can out of this unofficial last month of summer, rain or shine. And eating our way through the College Area sounds like a pretty good place to start. (shout out my fellow SDSU alumni)

Taste of College Area is happening 9/27, with a whole afternoon of bites from neighborhood spots, and I’ve got a pair of tickets for one of you!
