Home, Sweet Home.

Yesterday was a long trek back to Carson from DC. My journey took me to stopovers in both Chicago and San Francisco (oh, so close and yet so far from the City). I was exhausted by the time I got home yesterday evening. It's been nearly a month since I was last in Carson and it has that oddly familiar-yet-out-of-place feeling to it.

This morning I took Mr. TPG to work, per my usual routine here in Carson, but we first grabbed breakfast baked goods from Schat's Bakery (my favorite!) as a "welcome home" treat. It was delicious. Their blueberry scones are awesome - flaky inside with a crunchy outside and just the right amount of sweetness. Though I did have trouble deciding between the sweet goods and their ham & cheese croissant, which is also amazing.

I just got home from the "long" 12 minute commute to find some surprises in our front lawn. Does anyone know how to get rid of these? Do I just pull them?

Makes me think of mushroom risotto...or a portabella mushroom burger...mmm.

I guess I'd better start going down my checklist of to-dos for the day. Unfortunately, there's a lot on there...
