So my trip to San Diego was really fun. Tammy and I got in on Friday afternoon around 3pm. The day started out "brilliantly" b/c we got a free upgrade on our rental car! Whoopie! Unfortunately our Motel room was less than average.... but we won't let that get us down.
Friday night Tammy's friend Jason drove down from Orange County to meet us for dinner. We headed over to Pacific Beach and ate dinner at P.B. Bar and Grill. After that we spent a couple of hours at the Hookah Bar down the street. That was very entertaining to say the least. Other than Tam I don't know anyone who can blow diamond rings with their smoke... well sort of ;-) We ended the night with a short walk on the beach before heading back to crash at the good Ol' Goodnight Inn.
Saturday morning was a blast. We woke up and went to Baja Betty's which serves a mean Baja style brunch complete with bottomless sangria or mimosas (your choice). The whole gang was there so it was all about good times. All the servers were in full costume, so Halloween was in the air. We had a handyman who was generous enough to let us borrow his tools for picture props. I will be sure to post these later. While we were lounging on the patio enjoying our patio table.. the topic of nose rings came up. This conversation some how ended up in 3 people getting pierced (myself included) right after we left. Never a dull moment to say the least. That night was a blast... we entered a Halloween costume contest ..but unfortuanatly didn't win... Boo.
Sunday was pretty low key. Tam hung out with Jason while I kicked with Heather all day. We at breakfast at Perry's Cafe and went shopping in Mission Valley and P.B. Later that night all the ladies (me, Tam, Heather & Carolina) met at Harney Sushi in Old Town for a really low key dinner.
Monday morning Tam and I met Ricky for breakfast (again at Perry's even the same table) and then walked around and did some shopping in Old Town before we set out to the airport.
The trip was amazing and we had an awsome time....
To those out in C.A... we miss yall already and can't wait till our next visit.

As Promised
Ok.. so I promised to tell all of yall about my fun night out with the girls week before last when Chris was out of town..so here it goes.
Date: Friday Oct. 5th 2007 .. continued into Oct. 6th 2007
Hot Chicks: Tammy, Jenna & Yours Truly
Added later: 1 new gay best friend... Breck
Places graced with our presence: Vino 100, Lotus & Suite
Rolled out in: Yellow Cab
So it all started at Tammy's house at around 9:30pm when we all were there and putting the finishing touches on our make up and waiting for the cab. We first went to Vino 100 which is a great wine place. It has a selection of 100 diff. wines for under $25! You can buy it there and open the bottle to drink it. So we did that and got some appetizers and pretty much just chilled out for a while. While we were sitting there we were watching the club across the street. It was packed and playing all the great 80's dance tunes that never get old. We decided we would try it out. Turns out the club's name is Lotus.. maybe you've head of it? Anyhow.. the line was wrapped around the building (let's also mention it was TX OU Wknd). I decided I wasn't going to wait in line so I just walked right up to the door guy and handed him my ID like I owned the place. Needless to say we walked right in past the line!!! Wut Wut!!! As soon as we walked in these guys bought us shots and drinks... yeah. Then they just walked off.. we didn't even have to talk to them or anything. It was great. Personally I think they saw my wedding ring and decided to try their luck elsewhere; which is totally fine with me. When we finished our drinks we decided to cab it over to Suite. I had not been there before but had been hearing how great it was; plus Tam and I's buddy Matt is the owner. We walked right in there too, which was cool. Then we found Matt and he took care of our drinks the rest of the night.... How cool is that? Sometime that night Jenna cut her finger open and was bleeding everywhere (the biggest drama of the night). We ended up leaving around 1:30am ,b/c her finger was hurting, and gong back to Tam's. When we arrived at Tam's place we ran into one of her neighbors, Breck, and invited him to come to her place and have a drink with us. Turns out he is gay.. but we knew that anyway. So now we have a new Gay best friend which is cool, b/c every girl should have a gay best friend. We crashed around 3:30a.m. The next day I woke up hangover FREE!! You can't ask for anymore than that!!

More about Bruce..
Okay.. as you all probably know already I have a small infatuation with Bruce Springsteen. I got his new album a few weeks ago and I totally love it. If you are a fan then I suggest you go buy it right away.
ANYWAY... I keep checking to see if he has added Dallas on to his national tour... but... NOOOOO!! I'm so mad! I'm he went to Oklahoma City for crying out loud! Oklahoma City! How in the good Lord's name could he go there and NOT come to Dallas! I mean really...
I'm going to San Diego next weekend and he is goint to be in L.A. that Monday. I'm going to be so close to a concert I can't hardly stand it! So close.. yet so far away.
I guess lets just pray that he decides to extend his tour to 2008 and come to Dallas...

Overall update
Ok.. so it's been a while since I've written, so I guess I'll update you guys up till now.
Running: Well week before last was really good! I ran 5 miles almost every morning that week and then on Saturday (9/29) I ran my farthest run so far which is 7 miles.
A lot of you probably already know this b/c I sent a text out to a bunch of people to share my joyous moment..lol.
Last week on the other hand wasn't bad.. but it wasn't my best week either. I only ran 5 miles once and 3 on the other 2 days. I didn't do a long run this week b/c I went out on Friday night and well.. you know... ;-)
I was already to start running on Monday with full force, but I started feeling icky on Sunday and then on into Monday so I decided not to push my luck (which turned out to be a good idea, as you will read later.
School: School has been going really well so far. Ill break it down by class.
Literary Criticism: I found out a key grade I've been waiting for on Monday. I made and A on a Essay I was harping over a few weeks ago. This really surprised me b/c I did not expect to do so well on it (actually almost fell out of my chair). We were to pick a sonnet (a poem that is 14 lines) and do an analysis on it. Well I picked a pretty hard poem; Silence by Edgar Allen Poe. I thought it was going to be easy at first, but as I started into the paper I realized I was wrong. I thought about changing sonnets but decided to push through this one. Turns out it was a good idea.
Shakespeare: I have not gotten any big grades back or anything, but I have read 3 whole plays that I had never read before (Henry the IV part 1, Henry V & A Midsummer Night's Dream). At first the reading of Shakespeare eluded me. But being the smart person that I am I went to the library and checked out the plays in modern English. This has been a great help. Although I spent $100 on my stupid book which I dont use. Boo!!
General Life Science & LAB: Okay.. so I actually like the lecture part of this class alot.. but I really hate the lab. It's like taking a another whole class; and it's only one day a week and 3hrs long. 3 WHOLE HOURS!! First of all I'm A.D.D. so that is totally not cool. How on Earth do they expect me to pay attention that long? Well needless to say I don't. LOL. If it wasn't for this hilarious "Queen" I have sitting at my table I would pull my hair out. He cracks me up every Monday. Thank you Gerald!!
My first test in the class went pretty well. I thought I was going to ace it for sure (I felt really good about it when I left). Needless to say I didn't ace it. I got 38 points out of 50; which is like a 76%. I wasn't too happy about it at first, but the class average was 26 points. I was 12 points about the average, so I can't complain too much. I guess sitting in the front row pays off..LOL. Anyhow, at this very moment I'm supposed to be writing my 8 page report for my lab (which I just started) that is due on Monday. I guess I can put it off just a little longer.
Everything Else: Not really a whole lot else going on except work, school and running. I'm getting really excited about my trip to San Diego in a few weeks. Tammy and I have picked been looking for our costumes and all that. We are going to be Yin and Yang again this year since we are not going to be in Dallas and the costume was such a hit last year. We are however changing it up a bit so that we dont look the same in pictures. I know it's silly.. but we're women ya know. Chris was out of town last week for around 9 days and I had the house to myself. It was kind of nice at first but I was defiantly ready for him to come home on Monday. I did go out w/ my girls last Friday, but I'm saving a whole different blog for that.. complete with pictures. So stay tuned (I should have that up in a day or so). So anyway, Tammy and I went and saw that movie "The Heartbreak Kid" w/ Ben Stiller , on Saturday afternoon. It was soooo funny. I recommend it to anyone who loves to laugh so hard they cry. Saturday night I had planned on staying home (well at Grandma's) and finally finishing my book "Lasher" by Anne Rice. I was so tired and really was starting to feel kind of yucky. Of course my little sis spoiled my plans of relaxation. Since I was staying at my Grandma's (where she still lives) she wanted me to go to Firewater with her and watch her friend Blake's band Venture play. Of course they were the last banc and I was there till 1:30am. They were amazing however and if you are into hard rock then I deff. suggest picking up their new album. You can hear their songs on their Myspace if you'd like to try before you buy. Anyhow, by the time I left I was so tired I could hardly stand and was praying all the way home that I didn't fall asleep at the wheel. Finally when I got home my ears were ringing so bad from standing next to the speaker that I could hardly fall asleep. Needless to say Sunday was a "do nothing" day for me. I came home and played Final Fantasy for like 8hrs straight before I crashed and went to bed. Monday was awful.. I felt bad that morning and didn't want to go to school, but did anyway. By the time I left my throat was hurting pretty badly. I had to pick up Chris at the airport so I couldn't' go to sleep. By the time I picked him up at 8pm I couldn't even talk my throat was so swollen. Turns out I had strep throat. Yuck. Well thanks to my super awesome liquid vitamins I'm all better now. I guess that's it. Until next time!!
