ahh the go go's how can you not love 80's music like that?

I find it amusing that one of the most prolific time for us to write about our lives is when we are gathered together. so I shall continue the "here's how my vacation has been going" trend.

so...


22nd
I flew in LATE.  My flight sat on the frigging runway for nearly 2 hours while they fixed something that was wrong with the plane.  I am thankful that they fixed it, just wish they hadn't kept us trapped in the box of a plane or at least they could have shown a movie or something. Mommy picked me up and we talked allllll the way home. yay!

23rd
Got up and spent a day with Mommy running around and getting last minute gifty things for people.  Watched Muppet Chrismas Carol and helped my neighbor wrap a shit load of presents for her kids.

24th
Got up and ran out to the bookstore in search of a Christmas Elf.  Spent the day painting the elf different colors than last year's elf during any lulls in activity.  Listened to Peter, Paul and Mary's Christmas album.  Decorated the tree.  My brother came home with his girlfriend.  She's awesome. =)  She made some super good Romanian food that were called sarmales.  Nummmmmmy stuff.  Went over to the neighbors and helped her play Santa Claus.

25th
woot! loot!  got an awesome storage trunk from my mom that needs to be shipped to Texas, lots of candy, a ticket to a Cirque De Solei show, a teaching pedagogy book, Last Unicorn, Fraggle Rock season 2, Watership Down and a how to play Guitar DVDs!  Got some art tools too to go into the storage chest.  Went over to the neighbors and played games with the kiddoes and played Rockband with the adults. =)

26th - begins the driving...
drove to sonoma.  Hung out with Monster's family.  got some more loot: cool scrapbook pages from Monster and Elbow, a funny purse and t-shirt from Mamma B, and a mix Cd of Butt music from Monster.  Played Elbow's new games.  Then hung out with some more of Monster's friends, though I mostly loomed and paid for drinks...lol.  Then we drove to Sacramento and went to sleep.

27th
Hung out in Sacto, played lots of games and ate tasty chinese food.  I love the Sacto people.

28th - more driving
Got up and drove to the airport to pick up Moo! =)  Took Moo on a driving tour of SF and then to Ghiradelli square where I ate some tasty crablegs. Then we drove to the Golden Gate bridge and took pictures and walked a little ways out onto it.  Then we drove down to pier 39 to have dinner with my mommy, bro and his gf.  THEN we took a Taxi to go see KOOZA.  it was a super awesome show!  everything I love about the circus without the abuse to animals part.  my favorite acts were the contortionists and the wheel acrobats.  I love Cirque De Solei!
Got lost on SF public transportation and watched my brother get grumpy.

29th
slept in late.  Went out on some errands for mom.  Went hiking around in the fog on Mt Diablo with Moo.  Moo cooked chili for my mommy and me.

30th - more driving
got up early and drove down to John Muir Woods.  Hiked around and laughed at Moo as he got all goofy and happy on Ocean View trail which does not have a view of the ocean.  Then drove to Point Reyes and played around on the beach. Moo was dissapointed that we were too late for the lighthouse hike, but enjoyed the beach none the less.  After that we drove up to Sonoma for dinner at Mary's pizza shack with Monster and her family and then we drove back to my mom's place.

31st
Drove up to Sacramento for the NYE party.  Had a "surficient" amount of alcohol for me though I only blew a .01 on the breathalizer. Played games, ate good food, and watched the Buffy Musical.  Stayed up WAY too late playing 10 fingers with people.

1st
Slept in and hung out with people.  Ate linnerfest at LaBou then played games. =)

2nd - more driving
got up ASS early and drove Bear to the airport.  Drove back to Sacto.  Played more games and built Sim's houses. Sims is so goddamn addicting.  Went out for SUPER yummy sushi and then to watch Sweeny Todd.  I love that musical though watching it makes me miss Matt.  Came home and played Sims for WAY too long.

and today...
today Monster and I spent some quality time eating Chili-mac and watching X-files with no lights on.  We shall continue this trend of Butt-ness once she finishes paying bills...I'm going into Sims withdrawls already.

I fly back to Texas ont he 5th, will get in around 9 I think...I should double check that.  Sunday will be entirely dedicated to planning though.... 

outdoors, games, travel, vacation, friends
