Got the format idea from

keeumm and I like the efficiency of it.

21st
Drove from AZ to Mom's house in CA, 11.5 hours. I hate I-5.
Had banana chocolate chip cake from Starbucks in Blythe, which made me very happy.
Started reading Pride and Prejudice, which my sister had a copy of.

22nd
Can't even remember what I did that day, but probably not much. Went shopping somewhere with my sister, grocery store I think. Later, Costco with Mom as well. My cousin practiced card tricks on me all night. I totally missed an earthquake, even though I was sitting downstairs reading when it happened.
Oh yeah, now I remember, I went and got my birthday present - a lamp.

23rd
Saw my friend Allison and her brood, plus our friend Erol as well as some people from high school that I had not seen in years. Didn't get to spend too much time with them, but I was very happy to see them.
Celebrated Christmas that day, since my cousin was going to Washington the next day. My brother and sister-in-law came over for dinner and presents.
I'm getting my bed! My dream bed! I'll put up a picture sometime.

24th
Went shopping with Mom, and got the lampshade for my lamp. Saw my dream bed at Pottery Barn, and literally hugged one of the posts. I want that bed SO BADLY!

25th
It was one of the most un-Christmas Christmases in my life. We watched Little Miss Sunshine (bizarre) and laid around.
Finished reading Pride and Prejudice, which I loved. Wanted to watch the movie again so bad I almost went looking for another copy of it.

26th
Had coffee with Dad

27th
Went to see my friend Alison in San Francisco. We went to Pier 39 and Fishermans's Wharf, which I loved. I haven't been there in ages. We then took the "scenic route" back to her home, at which I once again marveled at the way buildings are crammed on the incredibly steep hills.
Went from SF to Sheltri and Eric's in Hayward. We went to Chevy's for dinner, and Sheltri and I caught up while we waited for Eric. I gave Eric grammar lessons after dinner, which was quite amusing. I was writing example sentences on a napkin. We went back to the house and talked for a few hours. I miss them very much.

28th
Went to Sacramento. Picked up Kelly, and went to Old Sac, yet another place I hardly ever got to see, even when I lived in the area. I miss Kelly too, we think so much alike! It's my goal to save up and visit her in New York this summer.
Went to see Hilary afterwards, and met her daughter, Lisa. Hilary I also miss very much, as we are so goofy together in a way no one else understands.

29th
Drove home, 11.5 hours again. I still hate I-5.
Went to the coffee shop before even going home.
Got home, immediately turned on Pride and Prejudice. Love this movie!

It's good to be home.

I was in a thrift shop today looking around and low and behold, what do I find? But the damn P & P Dvd you've been writing about! Okay so I bought it, haven't watched it yet but I am looking forward to it. Itd better not suck!!! :P

I hope you like it. You did get the version with Keira Knightly, I hope. Let me warn you, it might make you desperately want a Mr. Darcy of your own. Let me know wh at you think after you watch, even if you end up hating it.

Oh, I'm happy to read that Matt's been better towards you lately.

Yup thats the one I picked up. I will be watching it soon :) Yeah he has been better...just have to wait and see if it keeps up.

So, we're having the same vacation, I'm just a couple of days behind you. :-) And I spent longer in Blythe, not as long in San Francisco. I just got back from Sacramento, which is where my viewing of Little Miss Sunshine was. The 5 still ranks in my book above 80 through all those flat states that start with an I, but just barely.

I spent about 5 hours in SF, but it was fun.

I did a cross country trip with my dad once, and part of it we did Santa Fe to Memphis in 2 days. That stretch of 40 got old after a while.
