Who knows where the road will take me

Matilija Canyon, Ca

 My name is Gigi and I have a curious nature. I also love to experience new things like foods and places. Sure I can stay home and watch the Food Network, Travel Channel, National Geographic or any one of those channels that take you places and "show" you. And believe me there is nothing wrong with living vicariously through your television. I'm all for that if its out of my budget or a food that only a daring TV host would eat. But most of the time I want to experience it for myself. Have an adventure!

I am from Southern California (SoCal) originally. I was born, raised and lived there until this this last December. I moved to the East Coast. Upstate New York, to be exact. After some thought, I realized that life was feeling a bit...well...stagnant. So an opportunity came up and I jumped at it. A chance to start over in a new place. Crazy, right? No, curiosity. What would it be like? Would I like it? Well, you never know until you do it. So here I am. I'm ready to start the adventure.

I hope you will join me on my curious adventures. Who knows where I will go, what I will eat, who I will meet or what I will see?

Life is a Series of Journeys and Adventures

I sometimes hear people talk about an experience that shook them. Like a death that made them realize that life is short. Or a loved one getting ill and it made them realize that they had to get there act together in some way or another. Throughout the years I have heard people say these things, but very few ever follow through. They do a few things for a month or two and then they forget about it and revert back to their old ways. Seems to be human nature. I've known very few that made a true effort to change what needed to be changed and made themselves and therefore their life better lived. Why do these people only realize these things when tragedy strikes? Do they not think of living their life to it's fullest before these things happen? I think people get caught up in the day to day tasks that they lose sight of what they want. And what IS living life to it's fullest? I think that's subjective. Everyone's fullest is different. I think very few actively seek to ...

Snapping out of it

Seems as though I've been in a weird funk the last few years...okay, the last 5 years. When I moved here I said no more re-painting furniture, sewing projects, hand-making ornaments and the such and I definitely wasn't going to start collecting anything again. I especially said no more hunting for "treasures". Well, as my life calms down a bit and I'm not working 50-60 hour weeks I seem to have the need to create!!! I guess it never goes away. And I have slowly come to realize that I love doing that stuff. It gives me joy. I've done some projects here and there and felt that "high" of satisfaction. I have snapped out of my all-work-no-play, project-less, life funk. Guess I'm just a project junkie...lol! Today I thought I would start on some Christmas decor. I know it's still early but I feel like in the past I have a ton of projects I want to do but before I know it, boom...Christmas! I wanted to do a pumpkin project for Halloween...

The Drive

My two "Road Dogs" as we headed down the  PCH  (Pacific Coast Hwy) in Malibu, CA. Left: Scruffy Coco, Right: Foxy Cleopatra As you know I moved across the country. Well I didn't fly, I drove. Myself, my best friend's hubby and his brother all drove across the US. Two cars packed to the nines, four dogs and three humans. I dove my truck with my dog and one of their's and her hubby and brother drove in their car with the other two dogs. Talk about crowded. My little Pomeranian puff ball (Foxy Cleopatra) didn't care where we were going, just that her mommy was there! Now my bf's little Yorkie (Scruffy Coco) had a little bit harder time since her mommy flew there a week earlier and she missed her terribly. But eventually it all worked out and we all made it safe and sound. It took us six days to do it. We drove for eight hours and then arrived at our destinations, ate and went to bed. We were exhausted at the end of each day, but...
