A few things that created lots of excitement this past week: 

Umm, it was warm! Yay!  I'm still not happy about how cold it gets at night, but whatever, I'm compromising with the weather and as long as it's hot during the day, it can snow for all I care while I'm sleeping...well, actually, I hope it doesn't because that would be just too cold!

THE BURGER BUS!  This has to be the coolest thing ever.  You see, these aren't just regular cheeseburgers, they're 100% hormone free and grass fed beef and all the toppings and sides are locally grown.  In the past year, Mike and I have changed our diets and what we eat dramatically after I've read a few books such as: Omnivore's Dilemma (by Michael Pollan); In Defense of Food (also by Michael Pollan...actually I've read most of his stuff, but these were my favorites); Animal, Vegetable, Miracle (by Barbara Kingsolver); most of Joel Salatin's books; Skinny Bitch and most recently; Food, Inc (a compilation of authors).  While I personally think these books are amazing and have changed our life in a huge way over the last year, you may want to wait to read them until you're ready to make a new commitment to your eating habits :)  But anyway, back to The Burger Bus...My friend Jennifer Bragg, a real estate expert in town, is always in the know about the latest and greatest in Santa Barbara and she informed me about the Burger Bus (this was during our Santa Barbara Female Entrepreneur meeting...I told y'all that you would miss out!).  Anyway, Mike and I decided to try it out on Saturday and wow, all we can say is wow.  We both got cheeseburgers with a side of fried pickles (a true delicacy if you ask me).  The coolest thing about the Burger Bus is that it's mobile and each day is in a new place...how do you keep track of its whereabouts? Through Twitter, of course!  So, if you're in Santa Barbara, you should definitely check it out!

Now that I've rambled on about food for ten minutes, I'm really hungry, so I'm going to wrap this post up ASAP so I can go grab some lunch :)

And here's a sneak peek from a shoot last night that I did on a private ranch in Santa Ynez...soo gorgeous!!
