(139-141) Today is the Day

Once again i have been horrible about daily posts.

The past few days have been filled with packing and trying not to stress out.

All the stress leaves after today. Tonight i fly to New Zealand where i will be for the next 3 weeks.

Here is a mish mash of photos from the last few days to give you a taste of what i've been up to.

Outfit of the day: Monday

 Walked around long beach with Krissi

 Rolled down the hill at the lighthouse:

That's all im going to say about the last few days.

See you guys in 3 weeks.

(103) 21 hour day

Umm so i have been up since a little before 4 am this morning, or should i say yesterday morning.

My alarm went off at 3:45 am. I hit snooze and got out of bed at 3:50. By 4 am me and mom had arrived at Susie's to watch the Royal Wedding. 4 hours passed very quickly while watching the beautiful ceremony and exciting processionals.

Around 8:30/9ish me and mom went home to get stuff done before continuing our fun day. Mom got work done and i caught up on american idol. I was really bummed to see one of my favorites go, but i know they will have an amazing career.

At 11 am me, mom, and susie went out to "play" aka: run fun errands.

We also ate lunch at taco surf.

At 2pm i went to Erin's house so that we could go on a mini adventure. We were in search of an africa shaped cookie cutter. We went to a place called calico cakes...it looked hopeful. But to no avail, they didn't have it.

We headed to the grocery store so that i could buy supplies to make rice crispy treats. I was very fortunate to find that all the ingredients i needed were on sale. Marshmallows...$.99, a huge box a rice crispies.... 2/$5. I was able to save $7.40 and my purchase was just over $10. We went over to alan party company to get meltable candy chips. So in total i spent just over $15. Not too shabby.

Me and erin spent the afternoon making multiple single and double batches. They turned out so good...if i do say so myself.

At 6 we arrived at the coffee house benefit. We got things set up. 

The night was so wonderful. Great music, good turnout, money raised for kenya hope, and time to catch up with friends.

We wrapped things up around 11pm.

Me and erin had a fun car chat. I don't know why but for some reason some of the best conversations happen while sitting in the car. I love it.

I went up to my room and felt so exhausted, yet so energized...perhaps im just loosing it due to lack of sleep. I had an impromptu photo booth session.

After this...i realized i really needed to go to bed.

I have now been up for 21 hours. 

It was a wonderful day but now it is time for it to come to an end.

(90) Friday with Friends

I went to school in the morning and got out of class at 11:30. 

I rode the bus home.

Krissi was at my house waiting for me to get home and then we went and got lunch.

Baja Sonora. Always delicious. They have my favorite salsa. Of course i ate tons of it.

When i came home, i changed into shorts. (It was so hot outside)

Mom, susie, and i went to Armstrongs nursery and picked out beautiful plants.

I picked out pink and yellow ranunculus. Possibly my favorite flower.

After unloading the plants, i headed over to Erin's for "studying."

I only put that in quotes for myself. Everyone else was studying, but i had already spent my morning at school and i had no desire to work on my papers.

Later that night we all (me, erin, julie, chris, eddie, nick, jimmy) went to dinner.

Can you guess where we went from these not clear pictures?

Does this one help?

In case you couldn't guess, which chances are you couldn't, we went to taco surf in sunset beach.

It was so fun. There was live music, delicious food, and great friends.

Later the "study" session continued.

I watched country strong on my laptop. I also took a nice long nap around 11:30. I woke up around 12:45 and erin took me home. I felt so out of it. I think i was Sleep Wasted. I couldn't walk straight or think straight and i was completely sober. I was under the influence of a late night nap.

 When i got home and had crawled in my bed I fell right asleep
