It's a perfect rain today.
I hope it rains all day.
I think these are the best days to curl up and watch a movie with your movie-watching partner. In my case, Bryan.
California was wonderful. We didn't want to leave. No humidity. I'll post pictures once we put them on the computer. The water was too cold but we did put our feet in it and gathered a few shells on the way. I even got Bryan to skip down the beach as I got a picture. I have officially seen both sides of the states as well as both oceans having at least touched them.
Although the ocean was too cold we did get to go swimming in the hotel pool. A little chilly but once you got in and swam for a bit you forgot about it. Bryan got fried because he wanted some sun while I lathered on the sunblock and maintained my lilly white skin.
Bryan had fun at his conference (geekfest) which is the whole reason we got to go to ca. His other job is out in ca and so we got to meet his boss and some of the guys he works with. FYI Real Mexican food is not always Good Mexican food. I ordered something and it came with two burritos and some strange toppings. One smelled like horse feed while it the taste was horrifying. But they were nice enough to get me a new dish. It wasn't great either but at least I could stomach it.
All in all it was great but I did miss good ol' muggy Iowa. Well.. not really. However, I am glad to be home.
Have you heard the new ringtone for teenagers?? It's really annoying and it hurts my ears.
So my sister was extremely upset when she found out that we couldn't come down to meet her dear boyfriend nor did we make it a definite plan. This emotion of hers did include pouting ...and she's nineteen. So now we have to make a special trip to see this boy which I doubt is going to happen anyway because we really don't have the money to drive a two or four hour drive, nor the patience. Obviously we're the selfish ones because we can't appear to her every whim of an event and our lives don't revolve around her and her boyfriend.
Did I mention this is an internet boyfriend who she's only known for five months and at four they were talking about getting married??
Yeah...
BTW, it stopped raining.
so i sort of forgot you had this blog, but then i got bored one day at the Sunroom Cafe, and found you! and you took your california trip! hoorah (for the Lord!). i remember that we talked about this over easter or some time a long time ago when we actually talked. ha ha ha! i'm a poor friend. A POOR FRIEND. hearts and ribbons.

Hola chica! Glad you had a good time! Hurray for us white skinned albinos! I would have looked like a cooked lobster if I'm not careful.
ReplyDeleteSo, what kind of a geekfest was it? Can't wait to see pics, especially of your man skipping along the beach.
Take it easy, nice to have you back in the nasty ole' midwest.
