"I like the fruit smells, like vanilla." -Vickie

Yesterday and today I had to take a class for work out in Anaheim. This meant I had to get up early yesterday morning. I could have stayed at Vickie's on Monday night but I wasn't feeling all that great. So yesterday morning I had to get up early and drive to Anaheim. All I can say about the drive out there yesterday and the drive home today is how happy I am that I live about 5 minutes from my work. I would hate to have to drive that far every day. There wasn't much traffic going out there but coming home today there was quite a bit. When I drove past the 10 East it was at a standstill. I could just not imagine having to sit in that everyday to and from work.

Now that I am done with that rant I will say that I did enjoy the class I took and I feel like I did learn a lot plus the instructor kept things interesting and fun so that is always a plus. The class was, however, about 2 blocks down the street from Disneyland. What torture having to drive by all of these happy families walking to Disneyland in the morning. How fun would it be to go to Disneyland in the middle of the week?

Last night I stayed with Vickie and Paul, which was a lot of fun. We went to this Mexican restaurant that they are always talking and had some excellent fajitas. Paul's mom and her friend (who are very funny) also came and we all had a fun time. I got to hear Paul's mom ask what she should bring to Vickie's "Personal" Wedding Shower, which included his mom mentioning "night ware" and Vickie talking about her preference in candle smells, which is where the quote came from. I don't think that I stopped laughing through the whole conversation, or meal for that matter.

It was a lot of fun to stay with Vickie, reminded me of old times. We talked about wedding stuff and watched t.v. including the Season 4 premiere of "The Hills". I do like this show, if for nothing else than the comic value but there is almost no dialogue in this show. I think each person utters 4 sentences throughout and the rest of the episode is filled with eye movements, shoulder shrugs, and hand gestures along with the occasional turn of the mouth corners. But it is intriguing for some reason I really can't explain, I guess that's the mystery of reality television.

So, thanks Vickie and Paul for the kind hospitality. It was super fun!

Now I am thinking of cleaning out my closet. The thought of actually cleaning or organizing something comes to me so rarely that I must "strike while the iron is hot".

Also, I was at Walgreens this evening and saw they put out the Candy Corn. This excites me to no end as I love it and I LOVE Fall. But I didn't purchase any yet. We all know that I have rules regarding the holiday junk foods and when it is appropriate to start partaking in them. But it did get me excited.

I really think I am going to go clean that closet or at least look in it. I'll let you know how it goes.
