Tuesday 6/28, Roomie has got to absolutely hate B...yet again B came over last night and the roommate left within a half hour...could these all be a coincidence you ask? No. I know that he would have been sitting in front of the tv alllll night long with his computer and crackers and other random shit had B not come over. I mean come on, it's what he does every other night, why would he only change that on the nights that B comes over? B's like, "Oh I know he hates me, I can just tell" it's really weird...but I like it cause then he's not home and I don't feel like a guest in my own house. I can't wait, I can't wait, I can't wait. Ok, anyway, so after work yesterday I steamed that bull shit sticker off of my ceiling, but the glue didn't come off so I will have to experiment with some alternative solutions for it's removal. Then B didn't even call me until like 8:00 to say he was leaving, so it was much later than I would have liked cause I had shit I wanted to do, but oh well, so I made him some pathetic dinner and we just hung out in my room. Which is the other weird thing about the roommate always leaving, it's not like we're being loud or hanging out downstairs, we always stay up in my room with the door shut. So weird. Don't get it. We watched some special on crabbing and how you can make all of this money on it but it's dangerous and strenuous, so I told B that he couldn't do it. Then we just went to sleep cause he was exhausted and um, I guess I was tired too.
Sunday 6/26, We woke up not too late and got ready and headed out of the house to go pack up the rest of B’s stuff. We got the car packed, with a bookcase, cd tower, and rug strapped to the top of his car. I’m going to catch him whispering sweet nothings to his roof rack one of these days, I know it. I think he’s in love with it. So we were both drained of energy and needed food so we went down to Kiku, and realized it was exactly our 3 month anniversary and we were going to the first place we went together…it was so cute. So we ate, I had deep fried gyoza that was breaded with tempura, it was really good, but made me feel sick cause I ate too much and I never eat deep fried food…ughhh. We went back to his house and the roommates were making breakfast, but we had already eaten, so we unloaded his stuff, and he let me get most of the heavy stuff, as Chrystol observed. The neighbor girl Tessa, was all “Are you visiting again?” but the day before had been like, “Why are you here?” and made me feel bad about myself…it was funny. Then we left and both drove our cars over to my house so he could do his laundry, but my room was such a disaster so he kind of helped me get it back together but I did most of the work while he laid around and read and looked on the internet. We watched Pimp My Ride a little bit and then eventually fell asleep for about 20 minutes until he jolted in his sleep and woke me up. Sucka. Then he needed to go so he left, roomie had left not too long after we got there, so then I had the house to myself. I made some dinner, some calls, and just hung out.
Monday 6/27, Didn’t really do anything last night, just laid around, talked on the phone, read a little, made dinner, balanced my checkbook.
Friday 6/24, So Susan and I were planning on going to Craig's show on Friday, so after work I went home and painted painted painted and finished up my bathroom which felt good cause all of my closet was strewn about my room, and it wasn't pretty...so I got that done, then I took a shower and washed my hair for the big event. Cause come on, it was going to be the first time I've seen Craig in like months and I don't want to look like a dowdy housewife. Ok, what does dowdy even mean? I don't know, but I'm pretty sure that's not how I want to look when I see a former crush. So I got ready and picked up Susan at her place and we headed down to Ballard...too bad we got lost as soon as we got down there cause I thought I was somewhere else, but I wasn't, so I called Missy and she guided us to where we were supposed to be...Mars Hill/Paradox...which Susan didn't really believe was a church but once we got down there she was like "Are you kidding?! It's really in a fucking church?!!" Oh it was hilarious. So we see Craig out front as we drive by and park around the back. We're walking to the front and Susan catches Craig's eye and we start chatting but he tells us that they don't go on until 10:30 instead of 9:30, then some guy told Susan she looked 26 and she was happy, then Craig was blabbing loudly that Susan was married and Craig was versing us in wisdom and deep observations about age and marriage...also how he likes really young girls even though he's pushing 30. Susan and I both had to bite our tongues. HILARIOUS. Then Missy left me a funny voicemail about white shoe polish and young boys. So we left and I took Susan home cause we were both tired and didn't want to wait around, then I went to B's and him and the boys were downstairs drinking and trying to figure out how to make the basement more like a ship...or something...so I went upstairs and read magazines in bed. We went to bed not too much later.
Saturday 6/25, We woke up and B ate a bunch of crepes that Chrystol was making, then we left to go to Kassie's for a massage for B, and when we got there Kassie showed us a whole bunch of pictures that she had taken and look really good. Then she gave him an extra long massage cause his back's all fucked up, and we hung out for a little while and talked...a lot about how Mildred is a bitch, but anyway, then Kassie told him he can't help anyone move that day and especially not her. Then we left and went back to his house and were going to go garage sale-ing with Sky and Chrystol cause it was her birthday, but we had to get B's stuff from his other place, so we went and did that and then got back and I went home for Salsa clothing cause that's what Chrystol wanted to do for her birthday, and I got back to his house and dinner was ready but B had to wake me up cause I fell asleep, so we ate and I met Mara, Jared and Dusty, all very nice. We all got ready and headed out. B parked so far away we had to walk like 8 blocks up to the Century Ballroom and my feet were killing me by the time we got there. The lesson was half over by the time we got there and then the dancing started. B never asked me to dance so I didn't, though Chrystol got him out there and we were just watching all of these people, some very good, others were very very bad, most notably the Hooters shirt guy, and the blonde fake boob girl, bad bad bad. I liked the librarian lady the best, not slutty and very good dancer...B likes the librarian look apparently. Then we decided to go home cause his back was hurting, and after he had fallen asleep Mildred called and wanted him to go out and meet up with her, but he told her no, and then she said "I think your lady friend hates my guts" and he said "uh-huh" so he told me that after he got off the phone, and I said I wondered if Kassie sent her some hate mail cause we had been talking about it earlier in the day, but she didn't. Then she sent a text message that said sorry. Ha. I got a lot of satisfaction out of that...but I probably shouldn't, cause if the whole thing really didn't bother me, I should be indifferent to anything she says or does right?
Wednesday 6/22, I think I came home and painted for most of the evening... but I don't really remember.
Thursday 6/23, I came home early from work (only a half hour, but still) and took a shower and got ready for Neighbours with my crazy eyes in effect and went over to B's and hung out there with B and Chrystol and Jason, then B and I went to Missy's to get the steamer and we chatted for a little bit which was nice, then went back to B's and hung with Sky and Chrystol some more. She asked if I was going Salsa dancing and I said no, I was going to 80's night, but she meant on Saturday for her birthday and yelled at B for not telling me about it. But before long B had to go to bed so I had to leave even though Chrystol invited me to go on a walk with them. So I went to the lot and waited for Susan and read a magazine, then she got there and we went in. My Bouncer boyfriend (real name Andy I think) was like, "It's been a while since you've been here, we missed you" hmmm...so then Susan was like, maybe if you flirt with him you can get us in for free...then later we asked Kyle if he was straight and he said yes and then he was like, "Ooh, yeah, go for it" but I was like "I have a boyfriend!" and he said "Oh, just let him put the head in, then maybe he'll let us in for free" Ahahahaha! Then when we pointed out my Homeless boyfriend he was like "Who let him in here?" I guess he never realized he was my boyfriend. Oh, but before that, Susan and I went upstairs and were watching my boyfriend with the fancy footwork and tie, so pretty soon we started dancing and Kyle brought his posse over, Sebastian and Matt I think, I can't remember the girls name, then Susan and I went outside and my Bouncer boyfriend looked at his watch like, you're not leaving yet, so I told him no we were just getting fresh air, then we went to the bathroom and some short black guy wanted to dance with me but I denied him, and the coat check guy was laughing about it and we chatted a little bit. I left not too much after that cause it was getting late and who the hell knew if Craig was going to show up. So Susan walked me to my car and I went home.
Monday 6/20, I came home on and started making my curry dinner after doing my grocery shopping. It didn’t take that long and I was eating by 6:20 or so, then Dad called to say he got his card…then I started painting after watching some tv, and got most of the trim done. Didn’t do too much, but enough to feel like I was productive. Talked to B whose truck had broke down and he was going to call me later. Called at like 9:30 and was still waiting to be towed, and we talked for an hour, then the guy got there so he had to go. I stayed up and watched the news and read a magazine.
Tuesday 6/21, In the morning I called B to see how it went and apparently the guy fixed the problem in like 5 minutes so that was good…after work I went to Costco for some stuff, then home and since B wasn’t going to be there for a while I painted and finished touching up and the last big spots before I start on my closet…yikes! That felt good, then B got there at like 8 and I made him dinner cause he wouldn’t eat my curry, and we just both read for a while until it was time to go to bed…oh yeah, and roomie left about 15 minutes after B got there…weird…really weird…
Sunday 6/19, Woke up and went and got some food and Dustin was there and saw me with B, mwhaha, then we went to Home Depot and I got my paint and B got stuff for his curtains and a screen, then I washed my car and we went home. Dropped stuff off and headed to MI to go to Luther Burbank. We stayed there for a long time and it was warm out, and we explored this little hide out by the water, and then on the grass in the shade. We left cause B got thirsty, went to Mom’s and had to get creative about getting in…hung out there for a little bit, then left and went home. Messed around and showered and then B left to go home. I made some phone calls and kind of took a nap and watched SatC and then I started painting. Got quite a bit done and talked to Mom cause it was her birthday and Dad cause it was Father’s Day and just kind of hung out for the rest of the night. Talked to roomie who said he’s looking at places already so that’s good.
Saturday 6/18, We woke up at about 9:00 and got up and started getting ready. I ran to QFC for breakfast, Mucinex and tape, but they didn’t have the tape so I had to go to Target. Went back and B had cleaned all of the dishes…after trying to persuade me to do it forever, no way, yuck. So we packed up the car and took a load over to his new house, with the mattress on top. I wanted to hurry cause Kassie was going to be in the naked bike parade, and it was getting late, so we got to his new house and we took the mattress off the top, but left the rest inside and walked down to Fremont for the Solstice Parade…we met Jason, Chrystol and Skye down there and watched the naked people. So many funny things…saw Kassie like 5 times, B says we have the same body type…kind of funny…this girl almost bit it right in front of us, ouch. B and I went and got some teriyaki and then went back out for the rest of the parade…it was fun and hot and I got some sun. We all walked back together with B and I talking about lawyer stuff and money and houses and cars, and then we hung out at the house for a little bit. Then we went to go do another load and when we got back Jason and Chrystol left to go down to Fremont again…so then we hung out in B’s room, but then Aubrey got there with her “friend” and they were making shirts. B and I left again and loaded up his car and he was just going to follow me home but both our pillows were at his new house, so I went home and picked up a pizza and then he got there and we ate it, then Pat left so we messed around and went to bed.
Friday 6/17, Peggy let me go home early cause I was sick...so I came home, showered, did my hair, repacked my bags and went to the bank on MI, then called Grandma and went over there and hung out there for an hour and a half or so, then I went to Mom's and we talked and discussed color schemes, then B called and I went over there. He made dinner at his house and we hung out for a while there and he showered, and then we took a load of stuff over to his new house and hung out with Jason. I stayed there while they went and got stuff and read my book in B's room and then eventually went downstairs and it was about 11:00 so we went back to his house and went to bed.
Thursday 6/16, I went straight to Kassie's after work so we could go down to Easy Street and meet Embrace. She was a little late, but we made it down there and we met them and had them sign stuff...including one of my Muse singles...oops, shit...then Kassie told Danny he had to do a sassy move with his hand, he said he would if we reminded him...but he never did, no big surprise, then we went down to get something to eat but it was hard to find parking, and when we did a baby crow landed on Kassie's car and it was hurt and couldn't get up into the tree, and we chatted with a guy who tried to help too. We went to some Sicilian pizza place and then Kate and Mary (UPS) and some other girl met us kind of late and then we ate...very good and we were there a while, and then we left at like 9:35, and went to the Crocodile Cafe, but Embrace didn't go on til 11:30 so we went back to Kassie's and hung out until 11:00 then went back over and got a spot right in front of the place. They went on, played a really good show, he never did the thing, but he did smile at us a couple of times and they're coming back in August. Saw Missy, but then left at the end and both our ears were ringing for days...so we went to Kassie's then I went home, toooo late.
Wednesday 6/15, I don't really remember.
Tuesday 6/14, I don't really remember, but roomie came home unfortunately.
Monday 6/13, B had left his stuff at my house so he came over and spent the night with me. I stopped at the store and got stuff to make dinner, chicken and rice, and then we hung out and watched a bird special...or was that the other night? We just hung out and went to bed I think.
After lunch on Sunday we drove down to Gasworks Park and just walked around a little, and then sat on the grass and enjoyed the sunshine. We talked about houseboats and law schools and "hip Seattle people" versus "arty Seattle people" so that was fun, then we went back to his house to pick up the cookies. The end.
Sunday 6/12, I got up kind of early and started baking chocolate chip cookies while B stayed in bed and did stuff up there. I put on a cd and just did my thing, and they turned out pretty good. We got ready and I suggested that we bring some with us to his cousin’s graduation, but he just grabbed the whole plate, so it was looking like there weren’t going to be any cookies coming home with me…oh well. So we went to his house so that he could change his clothes and do what he needed to do there. We talked about schools and locations and then decided to go to the U-District to check out American Apparel, which has some good stuff in it, gift ideas I guess, and then we went to Tower so I could get my Q. Then we went to some Teriyaki place and I ate some of his chicken, but mostly the salad, then we went and did something else I think, but I can’t remember…maybe we just went back to his house picked up the cookies and left to go to the party. When we got there I was responsible for introducing myself to everyone cause B didn’t do it, he just grabbed a drink and sat down on the couch so I took care of things. Everyone was very excited that I brought cookies, especially his parents, who ate like 8 each, which was good cause I know that they actually liked them and weren’t just saying it to be nice. So the party was fun, it was really sunny out and kind of humid, so we went indoors after eating out on the patio. B and I looked at a book and I got excited when I saw Roosevelt’s house and I made B get excited too. We left and I took my 4 remaining cookies home, but not before Gene could grab one last one. We went back to B’s so he could get ready to play pickleball but then he got bailed on so we went to MI for him to skate instead. He almost fell a few times and he saw some guy he knows from Bremerton, then we left and went back to my house. We just hung out and watched tv, then we got hungry so we made gyoza together, yay! Then we took a really nice shower and went to bed.
Saturday 6/11, Woke up at 8:00 and got out of bed around 9:00 and started my cleaning regime. I couldn't sleep any longer and I knew I needed to get a jump on the day so I got right to it. I cleaned the kitchen (cleaned the sink which was soo nasty that it took me 20 minutes and vaccumed the counters), downstairs bathroom, vaccumed and mopped the floors, swept the stairs and entryway. Then I went to Mom's to get paper bags, eggs and their vaccum for the carpets cause mine doesn't work so well, but came back shortly after cause Dad turned on soccer. Then when I was in the middle of mopping, I ran out of solution so I called B to find out where the hell he was cause it was 11:20 and he was still sleeping but said he would come over, so I went to Target and got some cleaning stuff and came back and kept going. B came and hung out, ate, watched tv, whatnot. I cleaned my bathroom and vaccumed the stairs and my room, then took a shower and got ready. Then B and I got all of the cabinet knobs on and they look great! We went to Bed Bath and Beyond and I got a new bed mattress thing for B's back and then we went to Car Toys for stereo info, then to the 12th Ave Cafe for dinner, my treat since B helped get my knobs on. We ended up just talking for a few hours and then watching Whale Rider and going to bed.
Friday 6/10, Peggy let me go way early at 2:00 so I came home and laid in bed all afternoon and B was going to be doing stuff with friends and I needed to rest so I stayed in all evening and watched movies and tv and went to bed at like 10:30.
Thursday 6/9, I went home after work (my sickness is getting worse and morphing into something different, a combination of sneezing, coughing, runny nose, congested and stuffed up, but at least the sore throat is gone…until I start hacking up green and yellow phlegm that is…) and B said that he was on his way over, so he got there not too long after I got home. I cleaned my room a little bit and we just laid on my bed and talked then decided to go get some dinner. Susan, Dad, and Kassie all called me too. We went to QFC and I got some soup that was just ok, we went home and ate, and watched a bird documentary that was really interesting, then went upstairs but realized it was 9:00 and B had to go, but then he decided to stay but we would have to go to bed early…so we were in bed by 9:30 and I gave him my side of the bed since he had to get up at 5:30, but he still migrated over to my side!! He just can’t stay on the side he’s delegated…we’ll have to work on that cause I didn’t sleep very well, especially with the coughing and runny nose, which I’m sure made it so that he didn’t sleep very well either. Who knows…I did get to sleep in until 7:30 though which means I got about 10 hours of sleep, hot dog!
Wednesday 6/8, Pat left at some point, so it was nice to come home to an empty house. I had to go to Grandma’s birthday dinner at Outback right after work, so I did that and we had a nice dinner with the fam and then went back to Mom’s for cake. Grandma seems to be doing much better and is trying to fix Kassie and I up with her Physical Therapist who is 28 and apparently good looking. She’s funny. Got a letter from Auntie Lauryn but the card she talked about never came, so I need to write her back. Didn’t see B cause it was getting late and the drive isn’t rational or something (“I would never say it’s not worth it cause it would never be not worth it” and “I can’t go two days without seeing you…not after a week!”) So Mom sent a piece of cake home with me for him and I went home and just lounged, watched Sex and the City and went to bed.
Tuesday 6/7, I got up early with a very sore throat and went to work, got there early and met the A/C guys and had trouble with that, but it’s boring so I won’t go into it. Got home that night and Jen was having a going away party that B invited me to, but I wasn’t feeling good at all…I was tired and my throat hurt…so I went home and showered and lounged until the roomie got home and I broke the news to him, but he took it well, so we’ll see what happens. Then B came over cause he didn’t feel like going out to Jen’s thing…so he got there around 8:30 or so and he made some dinner and then we just laid there and talked, and eventually went to bed.
Monday 6/6, Our last day in San Diego, and I got up kind of late and called B and reminded him to take his pill, then Kassie and I were talking, and I started to get up to go get some breakfast and get ready to go meet Lish, but Kassie wanted to go to our bakery, so we both got ready in a jif, called Lish and headed down to the bakery. We only picked up our treats and took off to go meet Alishia at the Starbucks at her school. We found parking and went up and then Lish showed up so we had our treats there and just chatted for a good 45 minutes but then she had to go to class so we said our good-byes and Kassie and I started the drive home. We passed some crazy lady who was yelling at Kassie telling her to pull over if she thought she was so “bad”…it was nuts. Then this other guy pulls up next to us and is like “Hey hon, who did the exhaust on that car” and we chatted with him a little, and he was like, “Let’s hear it!” so Kassie raced off, it was funny. Then we were behind him at a light and he was next to some girl in a new Mustang, but then Kassie got around her and took off. We got stuck at another light next to the same guys, and he was like “I saw you high balling that girl in the Mustang” and that Kassie all revved up and she took off again, but he was all “Be careful hon,” it was all pretty funny, so we had lots of stories to tell Dad when we got home. He had come home for lunch, but Mom didn’t have the Chicken Pot Pie done so he had leftovers, then went back to work. I went outside to get some sun cause it was actually out, but I broke the lounge chair, and got a sunburn on my shoulders and arms…oh well, it’s tan now. Aubs got home and we decided to go run down to the Outlet Mall so I could go to the Gap and get a bunch of those tank tops cause they were only $6 a piece, so I got like 6 of them…then we went home and just hung out there, and she kept me company while I packed, but then she had to go to Jazzercise with Mom to baby-sit. I checked the status of our flight and it was delayed two hours, so I called and talked to a woman who said we could catch one out of LAX and get in around the same time, so Dad came home and we jumped in the car. After a lot of back and forth with Alaska, Dad let em have it, we had seats on the flight out of LA. We got there and checked in with no problems, but then our flight got delayed by an hour, so that sucked, finally got home but Zevon wouldn’t drive me home so I had to have Dad Alan drive me, which was ok, but I felt bad. I got home around 2 and went to bed, but couldn’t fall asleep.
something that happened in C-bad, but forgot to include in an earlier post. So Kassie and I are cruising to our little bakery along the coast in Dad's Corvette. Now what's hotter than a tricked out Z-06? That's right, two hot blondes driving the Z-06. So we're cruising along the highway, but see a group of 4 or 5 motorcycle cops up ahead so we slow down, and just as we pass them on Kassie's side, I hear "Hot!" but Kassie heard "Hi there!" So who knows what they said, but we told Dad that we had cops yelling things at us as we drove by them. He found this very amusing.
Craig is blogging again. It's been so long...I forgot how much he bitches...but for some reason I can't not read it. It's still fascinating to me. Now if only he would show up to Neighbours at a decent hour I might actually get to talk to him sometime. I'm not sure if I'm feeling it this week, especially with the bum ankle, sore throat (though it's better than it was this morning), and the now super runny nose. Faaaaaan-tastic. I think it's Courtney who got me sick. Whether it was sleeping next to her, eating her muffin (not that kind of muffin sickos), or sharing those garlic fries at the game, I'm pretty sure she's the culprit. Hopefully I'll make a speedy recovery. Keep your fingers crossed suckas!
Saturday 6/4, Now back to Saturday afternoon. Kassie and Alishia got into an argument while at lunch before Mom and Dad got there, but it all seemed to blow over eventually. We drove home after lunch and Kassie and I got our stuff together and left, and Courtney lives soo much closer to Dad now…we got there in no time. We had to park kind of far away cause their new place doesn’t accommodate parking very well. So we get there and I don’t know anyone, except Pat’s sister, but didn’t really recognize her. Kassie wrapped my ankle and we just kind of hung out on the deck with Pat and then upstairs in the “fun room” with the new futons which were very comfy. We then hung out downstairs for a bit but Court and Kelly wanted to make a run to Trader Joe’s so Kassie and I went too and Kassie got a bunch of yummy chocolaty snacks, but we couldn’t find the pirate so we didn’t get the prize. Got back and Erin thought Kassie was after Pat…um, no. Just hung out and listened to the OSU reunion, then they left and Pat was being kind of a dipshit and trying to push me out of my chair and telling me he didn’t like me. B called and we talked for a long time about schools and moving and stuff then I talked about it with the girls and Erin talked about law school a little bit. Finally everyone left and I was glad cause I didn’t want to sleep on the couch, but I didn’t have to, and Courtney and I had a slumber party in the fun room and talked for a while before bed which was nice and Pat’s phone kept ringing but he was so wasted that he didn’t answer it even though the calls were “urgent.”
Sunday 6/5, Woke up and got ready and Court and I went to the store for some breakfast, but I saw Pat’s nuts while we were getting ready cause he was still passed out and Courtney laughed so hard and went and covered him up. I’m still laughing about it. He was just all sprawled out. So we got some breakfast and came back to her house for a little bit then left to go pick up Nina and Nick at the airport but got stuck in crazy traffic cause of the Rock-n-Roll marathon, or something. Finally we get there, and they’ve got a ton of stuff so we all pack into Court’s little car and off we go to downtown. We park close to the stadium (for the Padres game) and go get some quick food for N and N cause they’re hungry. We walk back and get our tickets, and my foot almost feels normal at this point but hurts if I walk on a surface that isn’t flat. We get the tickets and go in and Nick gets these delicious garlic fries and shares with all of us. We’ve got pretty good seats right behind 1st base, and in a group of a ton of Cubs fans, so Nick liked that. The game was fun and we mostly talked and didn’t really pay attention to the game, I got a chicken burrito that was really good, but kind of spicy. Um…then we left and Courtney drove me home and I gave a tour of the motor home, and it was nice to see Nina again, then they left and Dad and Mom had been making Fondu and Strawberry Shortcake and homemade deep fried French fries…mmmmmm! It was so good and I sooo overate, but I was on vacation so it’s ok, right? Sure. Then Dad wanted to watch National Treasure, and had been wanting to the whole time since we arrived so he finally got his wish, so we watched that and then everyone went to bed, except Kassie who came in late, but I didn’t even hear her.
Saturday 6/4, We ate French Toast for breakfast and I tried to get Kassie up and I called Alishia to tell her to come over but everyone was running late and Mom was having her open house so lunch was postponed until much later than we had anticipated. So we go down to the Wokery and eat, and Courtney's thing was starting and we were going to be late but it was for Mom so that was ok, she started crying, which was sweet, so we finshed up and headed back to the house so I could pack my bag. I have to finish later cause I have to go do something I don't want to do right now.
Friday 6/3, I got up cause it was sunny and took a walk around the park, which was nice, and then came home and showered and ate some breakfast. Then I woke Kassie up cause we had to start getting ready, then Mom came home and we were getting ready there, but I was done so I went with her to pick Aubrie up at school, then we dropped her off and we went to Gap to find tank tops to go under our white shirts...so we do that and go back to the house where everyone is upstairs and almost done getting ready. I went to take Kassie her shirts and missed the step out to the garage and rolled my ankle and it hurt so fucking bad, I fell on the ground and all my stuff went everywhere and I started bawling and yelling for Kassie cause I knew that no one else would, so Kassie got Mom and Dad and they got me up and some ice and excedrine for the pain and I got changed in the motorhome and then we all went down to Solana Beach in the Clive van and were there pretty much on time, even with the delay. So we do pictures and it was kind of painful but 200 shots later we were done and my ice melted, and we were all sandy and wet...nice. So we went home but then everyone had to leave so Kassie and I went to go try the little French bistro, but it was closed, so then we went to our bakery for a quick bite. I got a kind of gross spinich and cheese croissant and then we went to Surfride or something and I bought B some shoes and we looked at the cute boys working there, then we went down to Lou's and I picked up like 10 new cds and by the time we were done my ankle started hurting and my ice had melted again...so we went home so I could ice it. I laid on the floor in the family room while Kassie played on the computer and we listened to some of our new cds. Later that evening I soaked my ankle in the hot tub and Dad and I just talked, then when I got inside Kassie did an ice wrap on it. Since we wanted French Toast for breakfast the next morning, we asked Dad to make us pancakes for dinner, they were good. Then Dad turned on some Space Cowboys movie or something, but then he went to bed so I didn't really watch it but Kassie came in with her computer and we looked at the guy with the webcam and had some chuckles, but then I went to bed at like 11:45.
Wedneday 6/1, So we land and Dad picks us up and we go back to the house and Dad has to take Aubs to the dentist to have her braces off, so he leaves us and we shower and stuff and then we take the Grand Prix to downtown Carlsbad to cruise. So we go to Spin and look around for a while and Kassie gets some stuff, then Mom was supposed to call us for lunch but she didn't and we were getting hungry so we decided to find a little place outside to eat so we could enjoy the beautiful weather. So we went to the News Cafe or something and ordered 3 plates of food and the girl behind Kassie was looking at our meal(s) in disgust...but we polished off most of it, and left the friendly waitress with a hefty tip so she can be on her way to buying one of the pricey bags Kassie has and that she was admiring. She gave us the lowdown on the shops, so after lunch we went on a walk and called Lish to find out what to get her, so I concocted an elaborate story about 24 and then hung up and Kassie and I shopped. We walked back up to the "Lunch Dinner" which we later found out is actually called Cafe Alysa, so we stopped there for some pastries, I got Pain au Chocolat and Kassie got a Cinnamon Crisp...mmmm. So then we try to go to Costco to find a b-day present, but they didn't have the stuff, so we drove out to Best Buy and Kassie bought me my birthday presents from last year and for this year, Bloc Party and Bravery, and Sex and the City Season One for her and then to the party store but we had to pick Aubs up by 3:00 and then our nail appt was at 3:30 to surprise Lish...so we raced back to I could change shoes then picked up Aubrie (sans braces!!) who had left a desperate message on the answering machine for a Coke and headed to the nail place. When we pulled up Alishia was sitting in her car and we parked directly behind her and saw her get out and we ducked down and then on the count of three we all went screaming and yelling at her and surprised her, then went in and got our nails done...very nice, never had a pedicure but it was fun and the one lady knew our life stories or something...Kassie got a flower on her toe and we were laughing pretty hard. Then we went to the mall to kill time before dinner at 6:00, and I bought a shirt. Then to Olive Garden and our waitress was a bitch and knew Aubs wasn't under 10 cause of her "big girl" nails. It took Mom forever to get there but we talked and there was a cute waiter for Lish, then she got there and we ate and left. I rode with Alishia home and we just kind of hung out here after we all got back...went to bed at like 9:30.
Thursday 6/2, Woke up and went for a long walk around the neighborhoods, wore Dad's "FLEX" sweatshirt and came back and woke Kassie up. I showered and washed hair and then we were on our way. Dad left the Vette so we took that down to our little bakery for breakfast. I got a Dark and White Ghiradelli Hot Chocolate and Apple Turnover then we went to Eagle Creek to say hi to Dad and Lish and for me to get a new purse. So we go there and on the way see this guy in a BMW SUV smoking and Kassie was like "Ugh, you're nasty cigarette is getting in my car" so I dissed him and rolled up my window. We finally make it to Dad's and say hi and he introduces us to everyone and we go down to Clive and when we're on our way back upstairs, we totally see the BMW guy, cause I would remember those chin pubes anywhere. So then David laughs at me, we go upstairs to look for bags and then start to leave...then Kassie calls Dad out on some stuff with David in cahoots and we were all just cracking up. So then we left with our mapquest directions to Fashion Valley and race down there...we hit the big players, Saks, Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus and checked out the $10,000 couture and bling...crazy...So-Cal has the craziest stuff I've ever seen...but anyway, that's off topic...so we eat at a little French Cafe and Kassie picks up a shirt for our pictures, but I don't buy anything cause I didn't really need a D&G shirt for $4,500, call me crazy. So we cruise back up with many admirers (one kiss face from an Acura, two smiles from really cute guy in Mustang) on the way...we go home to decompress but then leave not more than an hour later to have dinner with Mom and Dad by Mom's new center...so we see that, very cool, and then eat pizza at this place and find out pictures are the next day...and Kassie flicked a wrapper at Dad but missed and it skipped across the pizza the people next to us were enjoying. So we left to go to our bakery again for dessert and I got a strawberry tart and we listened to the bunch of guys playing their guitars by the fire pit...very nice. Went home and went to bed early again I think...
I'm tired I'm going to bed, but I will catch up I promise. Three days behind and counting...
It's been wayyy too long since I've done this...this should be interesting trying to remember everything from the last 5 or so days. Ok, here goes.
Sunday 5/29, B and I woke up and my bee sting was even worse so he was like, well if we're going to go to the emergency room be better go sooner rather than later cause it may take all day. So I thought I should call Rick Arnold beforehand to see if he could get me in quicker or had any advice etc. so Mom tells me to call Dad, who tells me to call Josh first so I do and he tells me not to go to the ER but instead take some Benadryl and put more topical on it and if it gets rapidly worse then go. So I take a Benadryl and eat my leftovers from the Thai place, yum, and we get ready to go out. B took me by the house they're going to move into and then I can't remember what we did. I think we went straight up to Discovery Park, but we also may have gotten something more to eat for lunch..but who can remember these things? So we went to Discovery Park and it was freezing, but we walked around and ended up on some trail up the side of a steep hill and just walked forever and looked at the army housing and just talked forever...I think we did 3 or 4 miles worth of walking...and I was so tired from the Benadryl. (B said "We'll never know if we don't try" ha.) So then we go back to his car and um...I think went back to his house and laid down? Don't remember, but then Susan said that she had mags for me, so when I stopped at her house on the way home and we chatted about bitches and other things. B was going to meet me at my house cause he didn't have to work Monday so he came over and we watched Mr. Deeds and that was pretty funny and then we went to bed.
Monday 5/30, I worked so I could use my holiday as one of my vacation days. I don't think I did anything spectacular after work...just sat around watching Sex and the City. B got a massage from Kassie and said she was really good and that it felt like her elbow was in his body cavity. Ouch.
Tuesday 5/31, Peggy let me go early cause I was going to be on vacation and B called and said he was coming back from Oregon and that he could take us to the airport so we arranged for him to pick me up after he got off of work and I would stay at his house and then we'd pick Kassie up in the morn. So we get back to his house and he's like getting ready for bed, but it's 9:30 or so...yeah, there was no way I was going to be able to sleep, so we finally go to bed (Court called too while we were getting ready) and it takes me a long time to fall asleep and then I end up waking up at 1:00 and not able to fall back asleep so I just laid there for hours looking at the ceiling and thinking about lots of stuff and trying to get comfortable but I finally fall back asleep at like 4:00 or so...but then the alarm goes off at 4:46, so I didn't get much sleep.
Wednesday 6/1, So we get up, get ready in record speed and are out the door. I call Kassie and we get to her house and get her stuff loaded into the car, and she's like, "Don't talk to me, I only got an hour of sleep" so I told her I was in the same boat. We got to the airport and checked in and got to our gate and Kassie went to go get us bagels and the airline people were like "We'd like to begin the pre-boarding" and it was like 6:00 but our flight wasn't supposed to leave until 6:40 and then two minutes later they were all "We'd like to board all rows" so Kassie got back and we boarded and by the time the plane took off the flight was full, but for a while there I thought it was going to be empty. Kassie slept on the plane, I started to, but as soon as I was drifting off, the guy next to me tapped me and said he had to go to the bathroom. Christ. So we finally land, and I'll finish the rest later.
