20 Something in LA LA land...

3 days

I could NOT be happier that I have today off - I needed it so badly. Friday night was nice and relaxing, but I slept badly that night... why do you think??? Click-click-clickety heels next door. I woke up Saturday morning and went straight to my notepad - where I wrote a very polite letter asking her to PLEASE take off her heels when walking around her apt - ESPECIALLY in the middle of the night. I swear, I have NO idea what in the hell she's doing at 3 am walking back and forth, back and forth... I mean, when I get home after a long night I go to two places: the refridgerator or the bed!

Early Saturday evening, C and I headed towards the beach for out oyster and seafood dinner. We got there at the perfect time to sit at the bar and watch the sun setting over the Pacific. I ordered a 1/2 dozen oysters and three sampling wines with it. C also ordered an appetizer and shared my oysters! Pardon my excitement, but cut to a couple of years ago and I couldn't even get him to eat a piece of FRIED fish... now he's all about sushi and oysters? What a California boy ;)

After dinner, we stopped at the store to pick up Guitar Hero for our Wii... cut to two hours later with wine, wii and the guitar - it was SUCH a fun night. I got pretty buzzed so I went to bed a bit before midnight and I woke up at 4:30 am to drink some water. And that's where the fun started - I couldn't get back to bed until 7:15 am. Does that ever happen to you? It was so frustrating. I couldn't get comfy, and then I just wasn't tired. By the time I feel asleep, my alarm went off shortly thereafter. Needless to say, I was a walking zombie yesterday.

We had to get up to see the new condo we're moving into! You heard it, we're moving! Most likely April 1st, although we'll have to see in the next week or two how the condo progresses. It's being fully built right now, and it's going to be GORGEOUS. 2 bedrooms (luxury for us), 2 stories, beautiful kitchen with all new appliances, fireplaces, 3 bathrooms, a huge patio opening into a front yard. We are extremely excited, and it's rent to own situation. So we will pay rent and in approx. a year, if we decide we want to buy it, that rent will have gone towards a down payment - which is perfect for us considering I don't think we're exactly ready to buy a home just yet. It's in a new area that both of us don't know all that well, but it's near everything. YAY!

Last night, thankfully, I slept a whole 9 hours (I needed it!) and just gonna run some errands today... Hope you all had nice three-day weekends!!!

:)

And so it's the day before Thanksgiving.  Can you guys really believe that it's the END of November already??? I can't even begin to understand where this year went.

Yesterday was such a fun day.  It started early (well, at 8:30 which is early if you're not going to work!) when C and I woke up to go to our SECOND spinning class together (and it was his idea).  The class was even better than the first - we sweat our asses off and loved the music.  So much fun.

C had to go to work for a few hours, and it was a really cold overcast day.  So I sat on my couch with my laptop and read blogs, random websites, and really enjoyed being home.

At lunch I met up with my dad.  Won't go into details but really, Dad?  Seriously?  Ugh.

After lunch, I ran some errands and then came home, turned on Oprah's Favorite Things episode and waited for C to come home. When he did we just cuddled on the couch and listened to James Taylor for about an hour, and then we got in our car to head over to the Grove to go see a movie.  When we got out of the movie it was dark, and if you click on the link you can see just how amazing it looks when the decorate it for the Holidays and light up the Chritmas Tree.  They also have fake snow that they shoot out of the rooftops every hour.  It's really awesome.

When we came home, we popped open a bottle of wine, and played Monopoly.  SO MUCH FUN. I never really knew how to play because as a kid, I used to want to play so badly, set the whole game up by distributing the money and everything, and then my sister would tell me she wouldn't want to play anymore.  That sucked.

But yesterday was so much fun - with the music playing and the heater on and the wine flowing and the property buying...   

Sometimes it's the simple pleasures in life that make us really happy and grateful, don't you think?

Happy Thanksgiving y'all!!!
