Wildcat, SB (Sept 2007)- Let's flashback to our night at the Wildcat, or the "Shitty Kitty", as it's known to native SBers. My friend Becky came down from San Fran so we could hangout with our friend Lyndsey who go-go dances at the Wildcat on weekends. It was great fun. During her breaks, the bodyguard asked me if I wanted to go-go dance on the platform (I guess he saw me in action on the dance floor!)! Becky came up to join me. We had heaps of fun! I love to dance!
Santa Barbara, CA (Oct 2007)- Mum and Dad paid me a lovely visit this weekend up in SB. We had lots of fun, setting up my non-functional cable tv, running around doing errands, going out to eat, buying plants and BBQs (only 1 actually!), foodshopping, visiting my ocean-oriented office at uni, and especially planting the plants. My dad is a pro... he single-handedly potted all of my new shrubbery! He's now dubbed "the flower man". I was very impressed.... he even knows their names and how they fare in different environments! A man to look up to. Stay tuned for some good fauna-related photos once they start to fill in and perk up!
Santa Barbara, CA (Oct 2007)- I've been sitting, not eating, not sleeping, but waiting... I'm still waiting for my husband to come home... I feel so empty... do I look any different to you guys?
Santa Barbara, California (Sept 2007)- Here are a few photos of our newly decorated apartment (there are still a few things out of place or missing). I just now got all of the stuff off the floor (I can't remember where I put it all though!), with the exception of our road bike boxes. I am still trying to figure out where to stash them! We have two bedrooms (ours is the one with the tan bed), one bathroom, one large balcony and two small balconies (off of each room), over two stories. The area around the apartments is really cute; each group of 8 are placed around a central courtyard. There are a lot of kiddie toys and bikes around and heaps of families to go with 'em! Hopefully you can all come see it for yourself some day!
San Diego, California (Sept 2007)- Ok, enough is enough. It's settled. I'm not going anywhere for at least 2 years... I had to rent a 17 foot (5.2 metre) U-haul truck to drive all of my crapola to SB. My brother and I ended up loading the entire thing ourselves (with intermittent help from dad- he tore a muscle in his arm). 25 pieces of heavy furniture, 12 furniture pads and a few thousand bags later, we finish. All up, around 7 hours. When we got to SB, we hired two guys to help us unload.... I still carried things... up two flights of stairs I might add. I'm still sore. My mom, dad, and sister also helped unload, got me settled and took me shopping. They were fantastic. It was tense at times, but overeall, enjoyable; and their help was invaluable. The next goal... a finished house. Stay tuned for house photos once I get all of the stuff off the floor. =)
San Diego, California (Sept 2007)- We're still really jet-lagged, but were offered an invitation we couldn't pass up... going to the Del Mar Fairgrounds Thoroughbred Turf Club for the horse races! It was amazing (we've both never been before). My brother got us VIP tickets ($5000 per person for the season) through his bosses. The horses were beautiful and we actually did a little betting (with monetary help from the sibling) and won $55! That was the extent of our gambling! Fun stuff.
