LA

I lived in Los Angeles for about 2 years. Most times I am so glad that I am not living there anymore. That being said...I miss California. A lot. I don't know if it is just this time of year or what, but I really really miss it. This is the perfect weather to walk along the waters edge, just barely letting the water lap over my feed and feel the sun beating down on me. I love California in the Spring.

Mom and I have been throwing around the idea of going to L.A. this summer to visit Emily and to walk around the Grove, and on the beach, and go to Cobras & Matadors for dinner. We will also visit Lala's Argentinian Grill. All amazing, I tell ya. All amazing.

Spring break has been great. I spent the first part of the week camping with Anne and Jeff. It was frickin awesome. I got worried that the weather wouldn't cooperate with us. There was a huge storm that blew through right as we were trying to leave. It rained so hard and so fast that the street by my apartment complex was completely flooded for a good 20 minutes. The water luckily went down as fast as it came up, but it was still a little freaky. The same storm was headed right to where we were going camping, but luckily we got there after the storm and never saw a raindrop the whole time we were there. The weather was simply gorgeous. The sunsets were gorgeous. The fire was gorgeous. Spending time with my friends, was gorgeous. I loved it.

Last night we went out for Holli's 25th birthday. It was fairly awesome, and I loved it. I haven't hung out with her enough lately. I'm going to try to change that. I just get so wrapped up in school...but I shouldn't let that be an excuse to not take care of my friendships.

Today mom and I went to the Modern Museun for lunch. I love eating lunch there with mom. It's greatness. We had lots of great conversation. The one exhibit inside the museum that mom really wanted to see wasn't up, so we didn't actually go into the museum. So, instead we went to Barnes and Nobles and walked around looking at books we'd like to read, then stopped in at Starbucks. Perfect afternoon with mom.

Lots of random stuff...now I'm just going to relax and enjoy my last night of Spring Break. Tomorrow morning/afternoon I need to clean up, and do some homework. I'm sad the break is over so fast.

Adventures...

Today was a day of ups and downs. Overall, I had an amazing day. Although, around lunch time I had quite a fright! I went to check on my car payment and saw that the website did not show any activity for me even though I already submitted my payment. So, I pay go through the whole process of paying it. Only to find out that there was a mistake on the website, so now I had $700 trying to go through instead of $350 for my car payment. Lets just say that I don't have an extra $350 to spend on an extra car payment this month. So I call Honda, they can't do anything. I call my bank, they say I need to go into a store. I go into the store, and they say I have to call the 800 #. I call the 800 number and they tell me that they can stop the payment, only to find it it costs $28, and takes 2 days to processs so if the payment goes through before that, then you get charged the $28, the payment goes through, and overage charges. *sigh* So, stupidly, i say ok to stopping the payment. Then I call my mom in tears (gotta love still being the baby of the family even if i am 24), and she goes to the bank and deposits the $350 extra into my account. So now Im out $28, which I guess isn't too bad. But it definitely stressed me out for a bit.

However, I had a date with my mom tonight. Dinner and a movie. We went to this upscale baja-mexican restaurant. It was really good, I had a blackened salmon dish. Then we went to see Persuit of HappYness. Wow. Amazing. I love spending time with my mom.

That's all for now. Tomorrow I get to call the court and see why I haven't heard anything about the ticket I mailed in over a month ago. Hopefully I don't have a warrant out for my arrest or anything. Guess we'll find out.
