Hey 2006!
My birthday in Venice with Jeff was nice. I got us lost on the way up there. The room was better than I had thought it would be. It was cute and small and had an awesome view. TV and cake and sleep. Jeff tried to kill me in his sleep on accident. The next morning we ate at a nice little cafe right next to our hotel. Yummy food. After we walked down to the beach and saw baby seagulls. BABY SEAGULLS. BABIES. So cute.
We spent the New Year at my aunts in Calabasas. I got all emo sad when I realized I left my grandpa's shirt at our hotel room. I sucked it up and had a good time because... well, I was with a cute bearded boy and I didn't want to ruin it for him. Many kisses and sparkling cider with vodka and more cake. Nice. 40 Year Old Virgin - great.
Big breakfast and then on the road. Four days and three nights with my favie = awwwwesome.
Now, time for sleep.
