Trekkie Mother’s Day!

So since I saw Star Trek on Thursday night (unofficial opening) I’ve been watching episodes of season 1 on YouTube.

Which is nerdy sure, but also lots of fun watching Sulu run around the U.S.S. Enterprise shirtless and wielding sword.

I’m spending the weekend down South (meaning the Southern outskirts of Los Angeles county) with family. Tracy and I made a cake for grandma’s birthday.

It’s strawberry lemonade cake with lemon cream cheese frosting and garnished with slices of strawberries. It was probably the closest thing to having a fruity cake as I would allow.

For some reason my family loves the horrible tasting “fruit cakes” meaning they have a layer (or two) of fruit in the center and topped with fruit and that fake horrible tasting frosting, if you can call it that.

It’s the most busiest time of the year!

May is so busy for me! I pretty much have things scheduled for every weekend.

This past weekend was Orange County brunch, a monthly brunch event in Seal Beach. Then there was Unique Los Angeles after that. On Sunday I had an impromptu trip to Disneyland for Bats Day. That was… interesting.

Each time I go to Disneyland I find less and less to do there. I think I’ve succumb to the jaded passholder mindset, which is that there are really only four fun rides and once you do that there isn’t much else to do. Which is somewhat true. If it’s your first time though, you have to do everything. I’ll still never understand how people can take a three or four day vacation at the Disneyland resort. There’s not enough things to do in that park to fill four days. Continue reading “It’s the most busiest time of the year!”

Ms. Danger Will Ride Again

Remember how I was saying in an earlier post that I was the the orthopedic specialists’ office?

Well, it was because this happened

I was sledding with Erik, Kelsey, Jamie, Nathan and Brianna in Mammoth over Valentine’s Day weekend and I ended up sledding straight into a rather large, solid tree.

From the looks of the photo that Kelsey took, my leg twisted upon impact.


My x rays showed no signs of bone damage, so I had to get an MRI done. From the MRI they saw that I had partially torn my ACL and MCL and bruised my bone a little bit.

So now I’m on my second week of physical therapy and I’ve gotta say that its already a million times better. I was pretty ecstatic yesterday because I wore pants for the first time in a month. I can finally walk without a brace anymore and at a somewhat normal speed.

Full recovery, huzzah!

A Long Overdue Post

It’s the holiday season, so whoop dee doo and dickery dock…

Welcome to the day before Christmas. I’m at work and no one else is working which means things are slow. Perfect for blogging.

Since I last checked in I’ve been to Portland, where I:wore heels till froze, ate vegan donuts (and ate donuts with bacon on them), sang my signature Karaoke songs at The Boiler Room, and attended my first charity ball. Then I went to San Franicso, where I: got a haircut, hung out with friends, and visited the new Academy of Sciences building in Golden Gate Park.

Now I’m back in L.A. and getting ready to go to my parents’ house for Christmas weekend.
