My July desktop design.

Thankfully, beautiful ocean pictures and fireworks rescued my desktop this month. I didn't have quite as much time to graphically design much with family visiting and the massive amounts of Puffs being used (yes, I am sick), so I banked on beautiful ocean scenes and premade Illustrator fireworks. All in all, I am quite pleased with the tranquil background. Is it keeping me calm … I mean I am quite sleepy these days, but that might just be the terrible sinus condition I have going on mixed with flu/cold/headache/allergy medicine. Peaceful waves sounds like a more delightful option. . . .

Wildflowers are pretty, until they attract bees.

Overblessified for many reasons this past weekend.

1. Had adventures.
2. Saw Janel again.
3. Went on an easy hike.
4. Saw lots of fun wildlife.
5. Touched the Cali ocean — FINALLY!

1. Had adventures. This is a weekend must after a week of work, always.We traveled two-ish hours south to Monterey, California, and hiked at Point Lobos State Reserve. . . .
