update
ok, so im finally updating. alot is going on in my life right now. i'm working way too much (6 days this week) and i really need to cut back so i can concentrate on school.
i took amanda to cambria (for those of you who dont know, thats a little town halfway between LA and San Fransico where i used to live. its near san luis obispo.) i took her up there last week on wednesday, planning to stay till saturday.
on wednesday, we drove up and dropped my truck off in los osos (about 35 minutes away) so it could get the new starter and brakes. then we headed down to starbucks and waited for my grandmother to show up so she could give us a ride into town. then we went down to my uncles restaurant and had a nice dinner, headed back to the house, watched some TV and went to bed.
thursday
i took her to go see the elephant seals, then we decided to just keep driving up the coast and ended up in gorda (small ass town off highway 1). then drove back, picked up my truck, then went into san luis obispo to see my sister and eat some dinner.
friday
i took her out to this tea shop i used to work at, and we had some nice afternoon tea, then went down to the beach for a little bit. by this time it started raining a bit, and our attempts to go to hearste castle were dampered because the tours were cancled due to the rain and wind. so we just kinda hung around the town that day and walked around, then had a nice dinner of crab legs and steak.
saturday
woke up kinda late, had lunch. i decided to go visit my grandfathers grave, since i havent been since the funeral. i'm so glad amanda was with me for that...she's so amazing...
after that we left and headed home, planning to make it home by that night. about 45 minutes into the trip my windsheild wipers decided that working was a bad idea (keep in mind this is saturday afternoon, and its pouring by this time.) so i'm sitting on the side of the road trying to figure out what the hell is wrong with them, when they just decide "oh what the hell, i'll work for a little while." and they just start going again, but i do notice a nut is loose. lucky me, i dont have any pliers. so off to home depot (30 minutes away.) after all that drama, we're finally offically on the road home, and had previously decided to stop by solvang on the way back. when we get to solvang, its raining and we just decied "screw this, lets to go the indian casino."
i lost $40
amanda won $20
so she got to help pay for dinner (this nice little restaurant in solvang called "the little mermaid")
by the time we finish with dinner and such, its dark and starts pouring rain. we're driving for about 20 minutes when it gets rediculously horrid, and i'm driving 40 mph with my windsheid wipers on high and literally cant see more than about 20 feet ahead of me. so we pull off to a rest stop and try to figure out what we should do. amanda calls her parents, and they suggest to get a motel room. *hell yes*
so we make it into gaviota and find a motel 6. the room was damn $81, and amanda had to put it on her credit card since i was out of money from the trip. so we stayed in the motel room (hot damn that woman is so amazing.) and left in the morning around 10. about and hour and a half away, we're stuck on the 124 when it decided to get a giant ass mudslide and get closed down. so backtracking we go to the 101. and around 12 we were about 20 mintes away from where we stared. the 101 was a mess. everything was in horrible condition from the rain, and i'm feeling bad because amanda starts work at 2.
well basically we got home around 3, and i start work at 4. a normally 2 hour drive took about 5 hours, and alot more gas. but we made it.
i really had a wonderfull time being with her. she's so damn amazing. i'm seriously such a lucky guy. i hope everyone can get the same feeling get when im with her.
anyway, its way late. im tired as fuck.
everyone, go to bed.
