what's up?
Oh look! I DO have a blog!
How is life? Mine, well, pretty good actually. My parents just left Saturday after a fun 7 day visit. Yes, I did say fun. My parents are young for my age as well as young for their ages (it makes sense, think about it). So we were on the go every day. I woke up early, well early for me, every day and took them on an adventure!
Saturday, after fetching them from the San Diego Airport we stopped off at C Level to toast their arrival and enjoy the view. Sunday we headed off to Old Town, where to my surprise there was an Art Festival! We looked at everything. After we were done there, Mom insisted on a trip to the Swap Meet. Ew… we capped off the day with dinner at the Turf Supper Club. Awesome place! What better way to follow up a meal in a dive than a trip to the shishy-est sky bar Altitude?? Monday was all about rest and a home cooked (by me!) meal. Tuesday we did the Geocaching with dad, since it was Richard’s day off. Plus, we wanted to try it with our iPhones. It works! So now we have a log in at the site and 7 caches under our belt. LOL. Obviously Mom had other plans, and was off for a Shopping Day with one of our friends. Later we de-parented at the big SDTweet-Up (#sdtweetup). That was, as always an amazing time! Wednesday my folks and I were off to Temecula Valley Wine Country for a day of tasting and scenery. Fantastic! Thursday was more Geocaching around town. That Geocaching is a great way to see some great sights you wouldn’t otherwise… That night I was pooped so Dad manned the grill and we dined out on the patio at home. Friday was when I finally had to sleep in! Well, till 9:30.. we lazed at the house till Richard got home. He had ditched work early so we shopped and hit up Bing Crosby’s Piano Lounge until it was time for the crowning jewel of the visit: dinner at Kous Kous. My folks got to eat well (very well! you MUST go to Kous Kous!) and meet up with our friends and generally have a great night out. Although we had drinks first at Martinis Above 4th, where the owner stressed me out when he KISSED Richard hello in front of my father. That’s when my father realized we had taken him to a GAY bar. OMG OMG OMG. He never would have known otherwise… Oh well. No harm was done. All was erased by the amazing food at Kous Kous!
As for Saturday… Well that was for packing and the Airport. Buh-bye!
You know what?
I already miss them.

One of the things I hate most about traveling is the packing. It feels so final. Once you forget something, that’s it. If you really need it you are buying it on the other side of the journey. So I am making this pile of stuff as I think of it. Phone chargers, shaver, magazines, an umbrella. It’s totally random. It also has me wandering all over the house. I feel like a crazy OCD person. Maybe it’s the OCD. Heh.
Anyway, hopefully my brain will stop spinning soon. I doubt it though. We are making a trip to Target. I think that’ll be worse. Gah!

what's up?
Omg. My drunken sorority girl neighbors are home. It is 3 in the morning. What the hell is with those girls? Sluts. Okay, maybe not sluts, but really.. What are they doing till 3 in the morning? It can’t be good. And from what Richard says, if he has to work early, like at 5, they are still up. Now I used to stay awake like that at that age too, but not by any natural means, I assure you. Speaking of, why am I up? Not sure. I did just get home from work at almost midnight. Maybe that has something to do with it.
So I am getting that amazing pre-vacation stress that only those with OCD, or maybe my mother can relate too. There is the pre-departure housework. The home-arrival housework. There is all that crap in the fridge that might go bad. There is the shopping we will need to do when we get back. Not to mention the laundry. My gawd, the laundry!! Will the cats pee in the house? If they do, will Amy notice? Will she know how to clean it? WILL she clean it? Gah!
I think I can hear the hairs popping out of my head as I GO BALD FROM THE STRESS.
I need to learn to relax. It’s our 10 year anniversary vacation and my stress level has ruined it. We haven’t even left yet. Good lawd. I need a pill. I should see someone aboot that. *breathes* So anyhoo, I think I may have a supplemental author for the dp.com while I am traveling. I am excited. I know we voted on this in the past, but I figure if I am out of town with limited internets access we need a plan ‘B’. So, yeah. All I need to do is get in touch with said guest blogger for a crash course in EE, custom fields, and my capitalization preferences and we should be all set with that. In the mean time, all systems are a go with all type of mobloging. I know this for a fact as I had to test them all after the EE upgrade to 1.6.0. Heh.
My cat is downstairs talking. No really! It is a series of strange meowing that almost sounds like words. He is freaking me out. Cats see things we don’t. I am sure of it. I need sleep. Night.
