Trip to Pt. Mugu

Right after I got back from Kentucky, I hurriedly got my act together to go to a camping trip to Pt. Mugu.  Work has had me stressed out and I really needed a vacation that was full of nothing but relaxing.

Left for the beach on Friday morning, returned Monday and in between did little but walk the beach, listen to the surf, eat, drink and sleep in as late as I wanted.  Nice.

I read a little, crocheted a little and watched some T.V. – yeah, this wasn’t “camping” this was RV-ing. 

I did come back relaxed, happier, people at work noticed I wasn’t such a raging bitch.  Awesome. 

KY….The State, Not the Jelly

I had a great time on my trip to Louisville!  I haven’t seen my friend Heather in years and this was a chance to catch up, visiting and having a good time.  Usually these entries are really long, but I decided I’d just give you a list of highlights…bet you WANT to know the details when I’m done.

·         Made all of my flights, with all of my baggage, with plenty of time to spare *whew*

·         Watched a “drunk black woman sing songs written by high white men”

·         Toured a bourbon distillery – tasting followed

·         Unsuccessfully hung shelves well

·         Successfully hung shelves mediocrely!

·         Wrestled potato soup from a very determined cat

·         Stayed up late to eat pie and drink beer

·         Got a blacksmith demo at a working, modern forge

·         Spent time in a museum entirely devoted to whiskey history

·         Watched a restaurant manager get schooled on the rules for assistance animals

·         Bought more shoes than Imelda Marcos 

·         Watched a heavy snow fall, it was cold enough to freeze the fountain at the complex

·         Went to Indiana for a minute

·         Best of all: Spent time with a good friend that I’ve not seen in far too long

For the record, everyone was very polite and helpful and the state was beautiful

While this year has started with an epic plague on my face to include two cold sores in immediate succession, it is balanced by my two planned trips, one to Louisville, KY to visit a good friend of mine and a camping trip to Pt. Magu.

I won’t be able to visit CreepyKid for two weeks, but I am moving closer to her…February 1^st is my official move-in date.

It’s starting out as a year of balance, maybe I’ll even be able to tip the scales in my favor.

Year End Recap

I grew yet another year older….and while marching toward the inevitable infinite I managed to:

·         Take CreepyKid to college, LMU in Los Angeles

·         Help Cousin H take care of her business

·         Go on some interesting dates

·         Finish up with another year of Faire

·         Miss out on haunting the ToyKeeper’s Lair

·         Spent time with family and friends

So, a pretty good year all the way ‘round, don’t you think?
