Memorial Day Weekend

What a weekend. I'm tired. I always need an extra day to recover, especially after a 3-day weekend.

On Friday I drove down to San Diego to help Priya finish up with her condo and moving and seeing her off with her mom on Saturday morning. (Talk about SADFACE). She handed off the key to Rob and Raf's (who were in the Bahamas!) and I went to their place, pretty exhausted after sleeping on a couch and waking up at 7a to work and clean, and planned to take a nap, but after my circuit training workout and nail painting, it was already time to pick up AJ at the train station. I met him at Old Town, we did a grocery run for the weekend, and basically had enough time to go back to change for Becca's wedding.

The wedding was at the marina, which was beautiful, if a bit chilly, and the reception was so much fun! Despite only knowing two other people from college, our table was actually really fun! And a photobooth helped of course.




When it was time for the bouquet toss, I was sitting it out. I told AJ, I am so sick of those and so over it! I'm sitting it out! But he insisted that I go up there, after all, all I had to do was stand there with my drink. So I did. But then I actually caught the bouquet, much to AJ's surprise. "All you had to do was stand there!" but I told him "I can't help it my instincts kicked in!" Ha!




It was an open bar which was fun. AJ was driving us home, and we got to the car and realized my keys were not in my purse, which was terrifying because even if we did just cab it back, the only house key was also attached. We split up, and AJ won because he found them on the table while I was still searching the outdoor ceremony grass barefoot.

Well the next day was USELESS because we are 29-year-olds who had hangovers, aka we can't hang anymore. I think we got to downtown around 3p, ate, went around shopping for a little bit, decided to go back to nap before we went to the movies, and ended up falling asleep on the couch watching Jumanji and waking up around 2a with the TV still on. Classy!

On Sunday we went to brunch in a dreary drizzle in North Park and then fulfilled one of my LIFE GOALS by going to The Cat Cafe! My dream has been to visit a Cat Cafe, and I had been telling AJ about how one opened up in NYC just after I left, so I was googling it to show him and saw there was one in San Diego! MIND. BLOWN.





It was so cute! I was trying to figure out how to open up my own cat cafe in Riverside, but still haven't developed that business model just yet...

Then we went to Coronado. Then I brought AJ to my favorite bar (Bar Basic) while we killed time until his train back. Then he missed his train. So we hung out for another two hours at Karl Strauss and he let me wear his Rolex and we worked on our future band.

I was very sleepy when I finally got home, and my little Khaleesi gets so needy after I've been away so she was very active and obnoxious and even woke me up in the morning. And this week will still be verrrrry busy. Sigh.

Is it summer yet??
