Looking Forward

I have a fabulous weekend coming up to round out a pretty chill week. Hooray!!

Friday: Hanging out with friends, and as an added bonus I don’t have to travel far from my house. Yes, that is a plus since I work so much now.

Saturday: Watching my team hopefully hold their own against a tough opponent. RELAXING. Maybe decorating the apartment. After a few months of bare-ish walls it will be nice to have more decorations. And last but definitely not least, Ladies-Only PJ Party! I’m super excited for this and have my purple satin PJs all ready to go :)

Sunday: Spending time with my great uncle and then going bridesmaid dress shopping!!! This is my first wedding and I couldn’t be more excited. Plus the dresses are super cute and that never hurts either :)

Labor Day

My parents have a campsite at a lake pretty near their house, and they go up there most weekends. They’ve been trying to get me to come out and spend a weekend up there for quite some time now, and I finally decided to trek out there on Sunday.

Why have I never made the time to do this previously?

First and foremost, when I say “campsite” I really mean high-end camping. I’ve definitely done camping a variety of ways, from the seriously rustic, no electricity/no civilization for 50 miles/pee in a bush kind to the camp in a tent that’s walking distance to a “real” bathroom, all the way up to the camp in a pop-up tent trailer that, depending on the location, may or may not have access to running water (but at least it’s more or less indoors). This is nothing like any of those. My parents bought a regular (non-popup) trailer a few years ago, and it’s so freaking wonderful. It’s bigger, has a separate bedroom area, a fully functioning kitchen, a bathroom with shower, and of course heat and A/C. The living room has a pop-out so that you have more space, and the kitchen table and the couch both fold down into additional beds. In my personal opinion, not having to leave your indoor bed in the middle of the night to pee does NOT equal true camping. It’s some serious luxury lol.

Search and Rescue: Mexican Edition

A couple of weekends ago some friends and I decided to take a mini road trip to San Diego for a 311 concert. Rather than just going down for the day, we decided to make a weekend trip out of it. Despite some obstacles along the way (like not having a place to stay until the day before hand, among other things!), once we got on the road everything was ok.

We got a really late start, so got in pretty late on Friday. We went straight to the Sandbar to help Sandy properly celebrate her birthday. The next day, we went on a pub crawl in PB to continue the celebration. Just as we were walking to the first stop, Brett got a call from another friend of ours. She was frantic, but since I wasn’t on the phone I had no idea why.

Turns out her mom went down into the deep cuts of Mexico to visit some family, and forgot her Green Card. Not thinking this was a big deal, she had her daughter – my friend – fax a copy down to her. The Mexican travel authorities said this was not sufficient. So Meli went to the airport where her mom would be arriving, and gave them the Green Card to scan into the system. But again, the airline in Mexico said this was not sufficient either. Next idea: just sneak over the border. Apparently that family has been doing it for years lol. But that wasn’t an option either. After all, she can’t be her risking her legal status by doing something stupid like that.

Awesomeness

It’s official. I have the greatest set of family and friends I could have ever asked for. This whole strep throat thing has been a huge pain in the ass. My adorable sister kept me entertained during the exam last night, and even volunteered to come over today to watch movies with me despite my contagious state. I only had to say no because I don’t want to expose my niece. My dad has made several trips over here to bring me food or medicine or gatorade or whatever else. My mom has been at my beck and call with expert medical advice (she is a trained professional afterall!), medicine, hugs, moral support, and today woke me up from my nap to bring me a pizza. What’s not to love? Then Mr. Zig came over with In n Out. I didn’t get a burger, but seriously how good does this look:

Not to mention the countless others who have kept me entertained online or sent me wishes for a speedy recovery. You guys all rock. And so do these fries I’m currently eating :)
