December 2003

No, really.

I worked nine days in a row, then got two days off, where I drove up to Kirkwood for a day of snowboarding with Sarah. The snow was ok for the morning, and Sarah and I learned two important things. We cannot trust Sarah and we cannot trust Darla. And the response to “Let’s go this way!” should always be “No, you dumbass.” ;)

I’ve put nearly 1200 miles on my car in the two weeks I’ve had it. His name is Roy, and he is still lovely, with that new car smell.

We’re leaving for Austin in about…3.5 hours. Which means I should either pretend to take a nap, or just get in the shower. Instead I’m sort of done packing, while ripping my new CDs (Bryan and I did our Christmas here, rather than tote everything to Texas) and feeling out of sorts. So tired.

Happy Festivus to all!

Happy Anniversary! :D

Yesterday, Bryan and I celebrated two years together, and had a great time. He got me a lucious bathrobe from Victoria’s Secret (I *still* don’t know her secret) and I got him new warm pajama pants. We spent the night in the Capitola Venetian, where we could see the ocean from the bed. We had a fantastic dinner at Shadowbrook, whose website is *not* a reflection of the actual restaurant. (The site screams “geocities,” while the restaurant itself is amazingly nice. Swanky, even.)

After dinner, we sat out by the water for nearly an hour, checking out the waves and the full moon over the water. I can’t imagine having spent only a few hours at the ocean over my life, but Bryan is just capitvated by the waves, having spent so little time by the water.

Some images of the day:

Oh, and did I mention that yesterday morning I also got a NEW CAR! :D A 2004 Subaru Impreza 2.5 TS Sport Wagon. w00t!

I love my car! “>
