Mood: Tired
Music: Foo Fighters- Best of You
I'm not dead!! Yay!! *hears Jay mutter, "Another broken promise...sigh..."* Lol. I had such a blast in San Fran!! I promise, I'll give details, but I'm too lazy and exhausted at the moment! Lol. Here's a day summary for those who are going to die if they don't find out (which I hope would be no one, because that'd be bit sad):
Monday: Arrival day!!
Tuesday: Downtown San Fran exploration (Chinatown, Pier 39)
Wednesday: Day trip to Monterey Bay (Aquarium/Shopping)
Thursday: Sonoma Valley (Horseback riding/Sunburn)
Friday: More downtown San Fran exploration (Lombard St./more Pier 39/Golden Gate Bridge)
Saturday: Muir Woods (Redwoods!)
Sunday: Another trip to Monterey Bay (Whale watching!!!)
Monday: Drive to Mt. St. Helena/Departure
I have to say something about the whale watching, though! I saw a blue whale and a humpback whale!!!! *squeals like an eight-year old girl on helium* And the humpback surfaced 10 feet from the boat!!! I think he was just as surprised as we were, because he suddenly dove under the boat and surfaced away from the boat. Have you ever had a 50 foot creature swimming towards you then diving under a boat you were on?? Let me tell you, it was awesome. It's especially awesome if you know that the creature won't eat you. Had this 50' whale been a 50' shark.....maybe I would have been a bit concerned ("concerned" meaning "running around the boat screaming my head off"). But yeah...whales are cool. ^_^ I want to go back!!!
I went to see the play "West Side Story" at the Muny tonight. It was a great play, filled with very talented actors. But I found it very hard to concentrate. Why, you ask? Well, sitting next to me was a very...errr...."robust" woman...and she stunk. Very badly. I mean, come on!! Being heavy is no excuse not to have good personal hygiene!! X_X
My boss ignored my plea to not work on my birthday...*cries* She scheduled me for 3 - 8. But one of my coworkers asked me to switch to the morning shift, which is 10 - 3. So while I still have to work on my birthday, I still get to have a birthday dinner!! Joy!! I think I'm going to ask my mom to make chicken and dumplings....cos she never makes them, and, if I may say so, my mom's chicken and dumplings are the best in the world. When future generations dig up the old ruins of my house and find my mom's recipe, then make these dumplings just for the hell of it, they will say, "That ancient woman knew how to cook!!" Everyone knowing your chicken and dumplings recipe...how's that for eternal remembrance?? Booyah.
...Dammit...now it's 2:00 in the morning, and I want some chicken and dumplings.
I have to work from 11 - 8 tomorrow, as well as train my mother (that's right, Mom's working at the 'tique mall now XD), so I suppose I should probably go to sleep, lest I be a bitch at work tomorrow. I'm afraid I will be a bit cranky...being scheduled for 9 hours. That should be freaking illegal...I'm being exploited in my last few weeks at work. Down with tyranny!! Free Tibet!!......nevermind. Like I said, it's 2:00...and I'm crazy. But if the world didn't have crazy people, who would rant in their blogs in the wee morning hours?!! No one, that's who!!
Alright...I'm going to bed to regain my sanity...but it might be a bit too late for that. Oh well...you all love crazy people, right? I don't need sanity to be loved!! I--*falls asleep at the keyboard*
