So I am yet again way behind on blogging. Amber came to visit at the end of September. It was awesome. She wanted to lay on the beach all week. Honestly that week was the worst weather. It is always sunny and warm here, Most of the time she was here it was overcast and gloomy. No worries I had made an agenda and we had plenty to keep us entertained. Most mornings we were up super early (anything before 10 is early for this poor graveyard shift girl) and played all day. Here are some of the top moments on that trip!!!!! Enjoy! We did!
So Amber brought the best invention ever. I have always been so bad at taking vitamins. I do good for about a week and then quit. Whoever thought of gummi vitamins for adults is genius......
WARNING: Consuming vitamins like they are candy can lead to an upset stomach. Consuming vitamins on an empty stomach (because you saw them in the bathroom first thing in the morning and were so excited you couldn't wait to take them) can also lead to an upset stomach. Like everything yummy you are also consuming calories when you consume these.
Speaking of candy remember that one time Amber that I mispelled candy?? Yep thats right. I blame it on being up at 630 in the morning. We were discussing that stage with kids where you have to spell things so they don't know what you are talking about. I was like yeah like when Jeff was little (he couldn't have candy since hes a diabetic) and we would spell K-A-N-D-Y...... Lol. I blame it on the early hour, it did make us laugh:)
My friend Dallin was awesome enough to take us surfing!! We may not be very good at it but it was so much fun. The best moment was when Amber almost took me out with her board. Thats right..... Dallin and I were standing and talking in shallow waters when I hear Amber yell my name. I look up to see her coming straight at me on a wave. I ducked like those birds that swim around and when anything comes close they duck under the water. It was hilarious. I stayed under the water til I was sure she was passed me. We took some awesome pictures with my waterproof camera. Genius me took it out surfing and one of the times I was expertly standing up it slipped off my wrist never more to be seen. Dallin got some after pics of us.
One morning we woke up extra early to beat traffic and headed to Santa Barbara. It was a lot of fun. We took a trolley ride around town. We ate lunch downtown, saw the mission there, walked the pier and walked along the beach. As a side effect of being a night shifter I actually slept on the trolley ride. It was kind of embarrassing. Here we are being touristy and driving around town and I am doing this ridiculous head bobbing thing. Poor Amber sometimes I may not be the best company.
We did some typical Buchanan things. We stayed up most nights watching FRIENDS. I love that show. I had stopped watching it for awhile. It was good to rediscover the joy it brings;) We ate good as well. LA has so many good places to eat. We made sure to make a couple stops at Diddy Riese's. Thats a place by UCLA that has rows and rows of fresh soft cookies. For a buck fifty you can get a cookie sandwhich with ice cream in the middle or 3 cookies for a dollar. That explains why there is a line down the block at all times. So good. So being 5'11 I wear heels but not the super cute really tall ones. I just never felt I could with my heighth. Amber has been trying to tell me it doesn't matter and I should get some. So I got a pair. Can I just ask???? WHY DO WOMEN TORTURE THEMSELVES? Seriously they are ridiculous. I was walking with my hometeacher and felt like an idiot because I couldn't keep up. I could be standing still talking to someone and lose my balance. While walking, carrying food from break the fast, I just about broke my ankle cuz the concrete got uneven. I now understand why on tv you always see women take off their heels and start rubbing their feet. I got a cramp in my calf. I towered over people. I will admit they did make my calves (which aren't muscular or impressive in any way) look pretty nice. Amber welcomed me to womanhood. Yes at 27:) I may retire early and go back to my old lady looking heels sometime soon:)
To be continued.....I think its not letting me post anymore.....
