Turkey Day!

So reading Christy's blog from her post yesterday has inspired me to post on this thing... hahahaa.

Let's see... what have I been up to lately...

On Monday I had the day off. I slept in until 2pm and then got up to get ready to go eat lunch with Chris. He picked me up, and then we went to eat at Casa Del Rey where I got a cheese enchilada with rice & beans and a cup of tortilla soup. Chris got chicken fajitas which actually looked really tasty and had some yummy guacamole with it too. After that, we decided to kill some time before Christy was ready and went to the mall to buy a sweater for Chris since he thought he might be cold at the Car Show. So we walked through JC Penny and went to Gap. We found him a nice grey/black stripped sweater and then after that we went to a shoe store called Ruze to find me some sneakers. But they didn't have my size.. :-( So I ended up just getting some flip flops. After that we just walked around aimlessly throughout the mall making small pitstops wherever we felt like we wanted to. Then we went to Starbucks to recharge ourselves and got 2 peppermint white chocolate mochas (my new FAVORITE!!!)... and left on our way to Christy's house.

Christy drove us to the LA Auto Show at the LA Convention Center. There was surprisingly like.. no one there, so we got really good parking next to the entrance AND this nice man gave us free complimentary tickets that he got from his job so we got to get in for FREE!!! woo~hoo! That was pretty nice of him. We walked in and went into the first room which had the Infinitis, Audi, Mini Cooper, BMWs, and a whole mess of other cars. Then we went into the fancy car room and saw cars that were worth HOUSES! After that we walked across the bridge to this other room which had the Toyotas, Hondas, and stuff like that. OOOOH! In the Toyota area, they had a photo booth that you got to take pictures in for FREE! It was awesome... Christy and I took 2 and then I made Chris join us and we took 2 more! muahahaha...

Before we left, we went into the fixed up car room. That was pretty interesting. We saw the million dollar Mercedes ... it was covered in crystals... pretty bling bling. Pictures of it are in my album below.

Then it was off to get something to eat. AT PINK'S! Woo~hoo! My favorite. It was our lucky night because first we got free tickets to the auto show and there were hardly any lines or waiting for anything and THEN we get to Pink's and there are like... 8 people in line! SCORE! hahaha... we did still have to wait a bit but at least it wasn't as long as it usually is. We got our food... scarfed it down because we were all pretty hungry and then headed home!

LA Auto Show

Tuesday I worked from 11-8. Then went to Tofu House with Chris to get some Spicy Pork. After we picked up Christy and went to Pinkberry in Old Town. Yum. Got my usual Medium Green Tea with Almonds, Mangos, and Yogurt Chips.... tasty...

Wednesday had work from 6:30am-2pm. It was NOT fun waking up but the day seemed to fly by pretty fast. Took more more than 2 hours to get home... HORRIBLE! Came home.. ate my leftovers from Tofu House and then knocked out until 9pm when I finally woke up. Drove out to Chris' to watch some of my TiVo'd shows because I was bored. Ate Burger King and Ice cream... great combination... fell asleep. Woke up at 2am at his house and then left to go home so that I could sleep at home.. Came home, got ready and knocked out! woo~hoo!

TODAY I woke up at 1:30pm.. lounged around and cleaned my room a bit. Then I showered and now I'm all ready to go to my sister's house to have Thanksgiving Dinner! I'm a bit hungry but I know if I eat something now, I will NOT be that hungry when I get to my sister's house so we shall wait. That's basically my plan for today.. to just eat and come home... rest and then go to SLEEP! I have the unfortunate job of waking up at 4:30am to go to work by 6am for those crazy Black Friday Shoppers. Thank GOD Nordstrom does not have any sales or anything like that so I don't have to deal with the wackyness of it all.

Have a good thanksgiving everyone! :-)

Aching Feet....

It seems that while I was typing in my title... I had already used that name before!!! Oh well... my feet do hurt pretty damn bad. I've been working since last Tuesday for the November Half Yearly Sale. Almost every day since then I've been working at least 10-12 hours each and every day. I'm incredibly tired... which probably explains why I woke up at 2pm today.. hehehee. That felt very nice. I also fell asleep last night without brushing my teeth, without taking off my glasses, and without turning off the lights in my room! Can you believe I was THAT tired? And usually I'm the one busting Chris' balls for not remembering to brush his teeth at night because he gets too tired... ahahhaa. I'm a stickler for that. So when I woke up this morning I had a horrible sore throat... HORRIBLE! So NOW I am taking that as meaning that I NEED to brush my teeth every freaking night or I'll get another horrible sore throat. It's also really hot today so maybe that's why. Supposidly, according to Chris, I sometimes sleep with my mouth opened... so that might explain why my throat was hurting and dry this morning...or afternoon... hehehehe

So anyway... I haven't really purchased too many things for the sale. I just got a plain black v-neck sweater. Pretty good huh? but I'm really waiting for the day that I get 40% off merchandise because THEN I can get these shoes that I want that are also on sale right now AND I'll have my paycheck for this payperiod which better be somewhat good since I've been working so much OT and I sold a little bit better than usual... but not that much better unfortunately. But yes... I am very glad to be having a lazy day today. It is 4pm and I have not changed out of my pj's, nor have I taken a shower yet. I kind of wish that I had gone outside today since it seemed like a very nice sunny day, but I'm just too lazy. hehehehe

Other than the sale that's been going on, I haven't really been doing much at all. I had dinner with Chris last night at Kabuki... yum... where we had the weirdest waiter EVER... only because he kept talking about random stuff and when I ordered my "tuna tartare" he called it "tuna tartarIE" like I was the stupid one pronouncing it wrong. Weirdo. Then Chris surprised me with a box of Scotch Kisses from See's Candies only because when I had gone earlier in the day during my lunch break at work, I had ordered some candy for my Regional Manager and Chris and while I was doing that I guess the lady didn't hear me saying that I wanted Scotch Kisses and that sucked big time because that was the only thing that I wanted for myself and everything else was for other people. So as I was walking back to work, opening up my See's Candies bag... I realized... that she had forgotten to give me MY candy!!! Damn it... Anyway... then we went to 24 hour WalMart because I needed a heater. Turns out though, we bought the wrong one that was sitting NEXT to the one that I wanted. I want one with a timer and maybe a remote.. that would be even nicer... but a timer would be fantabulous!!! So that's what I've been doing.

I just cleaned my room right now and I'm contemplating on doing laundry. Went to Pismo Beach last weekend which was very relaxing and very fun. I really enjoy going there and being able to hang out with Christy and Chris. Short version of what we did (because I'm horribly lazy).... had breakfast at a nice little cafe, went outlet shopping in Pismo, slept, ate at Jocko's, watched tv, ate at Splash Cafe, Walmart run, and a visit to the Madonna Inn... and that is about it I think. Oh, Chris did get a flat tire while we were driving on surface streets to get to the freeway. It wasn't too bad though. The towing guy didn't take THAT long to get there and after driving around trying to find a place to get new tires we decided to just take the donut home... which actually made it the whole way.. WITH a stop at Camarillo for some more outlet shopping... hehehe. Then we ate KBBQ and Tofu and that was the end of our trip.

Overall, fun trip! Pictures for your viewing pleasure....
