CALIFORNICATION THOUGHTS

Unfortunately we are back from the sun and sand of California. It is not good to be back. I miss the sun, sand, sound of the ocean, runs on the beach, sleeping in, shopping, gelato, hanging out with the ghosts at Cory's house and just relaxing. Work sucks. Before the pictures I know everyone is dying for here are a few deep thoughts from yours truly.


Thought # 1 - Why do people dress up to go on an airplane? This has always baffled me. Clayton and my approach is all about comfort. Basketball shorts (or fat pants), t-shirt and slippers/flipflops. Fact: Airplanes are not comfortable. So why not relieve some of the uncomfortableness by dressing comfortable? This particular trip we started counting the number people who dressed like us as we were waiting for our flight for TWO HOURS (No our flight wasn't late...Clayton gets really nervous before our plane leaves...really nervous). Our fat-pant wearing kind were probably only 1.5% of the total airport crowd. I guess I can understand if your flight left earlier in the day and after the flight you were heading out to do stuff, but 830 in the pm!?! Come on! By the time you get to your destination you will just go to bed. The only, ONLY time I have ever dressed up for a flight is when Clayton and I were dating and I went to go visit him in Hawaii. Trust me I didn't move a muscle on that 6 hour flight. Didn't want to mess up my hair. Plus when they announced that we had 1 hour of flight time left, I went to the bathroom 4 or 5 times to check my hair and makeup. However, I had not seen him in 4 long months...so that justifies my action on that trip. Let's live in comfort people!


Thought # 2 - Why are Chevy HHR's drawn to us? Last September when we went to California with my fam Clayton and I got stuck with an Chevy HHR. Clayton was constantly talking like Jose and finding Hispanic radion stations. This time we joked about getting stuck with an HHR again. We must have tempted fate because we got another one. At least it wasn't copper colored like last time.

Thought # 3 - Why can't Utah have the "good stuff"?
By good stuff I mean Gelato, It's It and Sprinkles. We discovered Gelato when we visited San Clemente a couple of years ago. I have been a fan ever sense. AND it has less fat then ice cream. So instead of a medium size cone I can get a large. It's it was discovered by Clayton while watching the Travel Channel. They are made in San Francisco and are only sold west of the Rockies. Is Utah NOT west of the Rockies? I guess if you are in the Rocky Mountains you are not included in the "west" part. Anyway Clayton saw them on the TC and it just so happened that we were going to San Francisco a few weeks after he saw them on TV. They are amazing. Two chocolate chip cookies with vanilla ice cream in the middle and the whole thing is covered with chocolate. Like I said...AMAZING. Sprinkles was a recent discovery. We were in Newport doing some shopping and we saw this cup cake store with a huge line. Needless to say being the food lovers we are we were intrigued. However, we are not patient people and didn't want to wait in line. We figured that the line was for the cup cake lunch rush. Apparently not. We stopped by again 3 hours later and there was still a huge line. We waited and waited and devoured and devoured. Betty Crocker couldn't bake a better cupcake. Clayton wants to open a franchise in UT. Some may say that we went to California just for the food. To you I say...you're probably right!

So those are my thoughts. Pictures will follow.
