[JUST WHAT I NEEDED]

LAST WEEK WAS VERY ROUGH... BETWEEN BEING STRESS OUT FOR MONEY, CAR PROBLEMS, AND JUST BEING EMOTIONAL, IT WAS NOT A GOOD WEEK. THREE BAD DAYS IN A ROW JUST THROWS YOU OUT OF WHACK.

YESTERDAY WAS AWESOME. JOSH AND I WOKE UP AT 8:15AM (WHICH IS A RECORDDDD IN MY HOUSE), WE MADE SOME DELICIOUS BREAKFAST SANDWICHES, AND STARTED OUR DAY NICE AND RELAXED. WE WENT DOWN TO THE DEL MAR RACE TRACK FOR THE 'GOURMET FOOD TRUCK' FESTIVAL. OH. MY. GOODNESS. IT WAS RIDICULOUS. 45 TRUCKS, AND A BAZILLION PEOPLE!

IT WAS UTTER CRAZINESS, AND OH SO AWESOME. HOWEVER, BECAUSE THERE WERE SO MANY PEOPLE WE ONLY HIT ABOUT 3 TRUCKS BECAUSE THE LINES WERE SO LONG, AND IT TOOK QUITE AWHILE TO GET YOUR FOOD. A LOT OF PEOPLE WERE ANGRY. LISTEN, YOU ARE GETTING FOOD... FROM A TRUCK. THIS ISN'T A HUGE HIGH VOLUME FAST FOOD RESTAURANT... THIS IS GOURMET FOOD... FROM A TRUCK IN WHICH 2-3 PEOPLE ARE COOKING. SO SHUT IT. THAT, AND HOW MANY TRUCKS CAN YOU REALLY HIT? YOUR STOMACH IS ONLY SO BIG...
ANYWAYS... WE GOT CAPTAIN CRUNCH CRAB CAKES WITH A SPICY LIME MAYO... AND OH MY FREAKING GOODNESS, SOOOOOO GOOD! HIGHLIGHT OF OUR FOOD TRUCK HEAVEN. BY FAR.

 THEN WE GOT A BBQ BEEF BRISKET SANDWICH, WHICH WAS ALSO AMAZINGGG. YUM! AND OF COURSE, WE HAD TO HIT A CUPCAKE TRUCK. WE WENT TO ONE AND THERE WAS ONLY ONE RASPBERRY LEMONADE CUPCAKE LEFT... AND OF COURSE(!) THE LADY IN FRONT OF ME GOT IT. BASTARD. SO WE MOVED ON TO THE OTHER CUPCAKE TRUCK... WHO WAS ALMOST OUT OF CUPCAKES. SO WE ENDED UP GETTING TWO CHOCOLATE CUPCAKES; ONE WITH RASPBERRY FROSTING (JOSH) AND MINE WITH SALTED CARMEL FROSTING.... OH. MY. GOD. SO GOOD! THE FROSTING WAS AMAZING! I NEED TO START BAKING FROM SCRATCH AND MAKE AMAZING FROSTING LIKE THAT. IT WAS LIKE WHIPPED HEAVEN AND I COULD HAVE JUST ATE AN ENTIRE VAT OF SALTED CARMEL FROSTING. WOWWWY. MY MOUTH IS WATERING JUST THINKING ABOUT IT!

 BECAUSE WE WERE AT THE RACE TRACK, WE DECIDED TO WATCH ONE RACE. IT WAS AWESOME. HOPEFULLY WE'LL MAKE IT BACK TO SEE A COUPLE OF RACES, WHERE WE'LL ACTUALLY HAVE SEATS ;D

ALSO I WAS ONLINE AND THEY SAID THAT FROM 7:30-9AM EVERY WEEKEND MORNING, THEY HAVE A BREAKFAST BUFFET AND YOU CAN WATCH THE HORSES WARM UP, SO IM HOPING WE CAN TAKE CAE... HE SURE DOES LOVE HIS HORSES! AND IT WOULDN'T BE SUPER CROWDED, WHICH WOULD BE NICE FOR A LIL INDEPENDENT GOOBER CHILD.

AFTER THE TRACK, JOSH TOOK ME DOWN TO HIS SCHOOL (UCSD) AND WE SAW THE LIL DR SUESS EXHIBIT THAT THEY HAVE. IT WAS AMAZING TO SEE ALL THE ORIGINAL ARTWORK! NOT TO MENTION THAT LIBRARY IS INSANE. LOVE IT!

THEN WE DROVE BACK UP TO LEUCADIA (MY FUTURE HOME!) AND HUNG OUT WITH MY FUTURE NEIGHBORS FOR A COUPLE OF GAMES OF CORNHOLE! SO FUN, BUT IM TERRIBLE! I NEED SOME PRACTICE... AND NEED TO BUILD UP MY ARMS! CAN'T GET THE DISTANCE I NEED. ANYWAYS... THE NEIGHBORS ARE HAVING THE 6TH ANNUAL CORNHOLE TOURNAMENT FOR LISA'S BIRTHDAY. ITS IN A MONTH OR SO. IVE HEARD STORIES ABOUT HOW CRAZY THIS EVENT IT. THEY GET A NOISE PERMIT FOR THE OCCASION, A BAND, EVERYONE DRESSES UP, PITCHES TENTS IN THE YARD AND SO MUCH OTHER CRAZINESS. IM SO EXCITED. THE THEME IS 70's WHITE TRASH... SO IF YOU CAN THINK OF ANY AMAZING COSTUMES... ;D

ALRIGHTY...
TODAY LEAVES ME WITH ERRANDS (GROCERIES, YUCK) AND AT SOME POINT NEED TO WORK OFF THAT CAPTAIN CRUNCH CRAB CAKE/BRISKET/CUPCAKE FOOD BABY IVE CREATED. HOPEFULLY A NICE RUN WILL FEEL NICE, (EVEN THOUGH MY KNEE IS A LITTLE SORE FROM ALL THAT WALKING YESTERDAY).

OH! I ALMOST FORGOT TO TELL YOU! SO A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO I DIDN'T HAVE A LOT OF TIME TO WORKOUT SO I GOT ON MY APT TREADMILL FOR A MIN BEFORE JOSH CAME OVER. I AMAZED MYSELF. I ONLY WANTED TO DO A MILE, BUT I WANTED TO RUN IT PRETTY QUICK SO I FEEL LIKE I ACTUALLY WORKED OUT. WHEN YOU ARE USE TO A 6-8 MILE RUN, 1 MILE JUST SEEMS PATHETIC... A WARMUP WILL YOU. BUT I RAN IT AT ABOUT 6.5-7 MPH! AND I DID ABOUT 1.25 MILES. SO PROUD! AND I WAS A PUDDLE BY THE TIME I WAS DONE. WOOF. IT FELT GREAT! AND MY KNEE EVEN BEHAVED.

LIFE IS GOOD.

ILL LEAVE YOU WITH A FUN PICTURE OF CAE... BECAUSE HE'S AWESOME.
