Mac and I took a long weekend to go down to LA, mainly for my friend's wedding, but also for a nice little vacation.
I took Thurs. May 26th off to pack and clean the apt. It's always nice to have a clean apt. when you get back. I did enjoy that when I got back. Mac had Lee take care of Momo for the time we were gone.
Friday, left to Sac International Airport. Had BK for breakfast, and I was impressed with their breakfast. I thought it was even better than Mickey D's! Flying down was quick. Took a Hertz shuttle to pick up our car rental. We got a white Toyota Carolla with a nice GPS which we didn't pay for, but so glad it was there since our GPS was still thinking. Not sure if it ever worked down there. Mac had to drive the car the whole time, which was fine with me. At hotel, we rested and napped and then went to Medieval Times in Buena Park. Mac had not gone there, so it was a must see. It was fun booing the other knights. We had the best cheering section. Oh, for lunch, went to a brewery, but was the worst beer ever, worst burgers, and worst service. Boo. San Pedro is the place to go for thrift shopping.
Saturday: spent the day at Knott's Berry Farm. It was a nice day, but also sunny and burnt my scalp. Went on three rides, but they were good. Saw a few shows. Got some good souvenirs. Went to pizza that night which was decent, but not the best...
Sunday: Went to Venice Beach on an extremely windy day. Went all down the rows of shops. Got ice cream. Must have been 20 or so marijuana "doctors" who looked shady as Hell. Went to the Brea Tar pits, but saw a museum, and decided to go there first. We briefly went to the tar pits to say we saw it. Not too impressive, but a good side trip with the museum. I loved the art and artifacts at the museum. They had a Tim Burton exhibit, but it was sold out and I was sad. If I had known about it, I might have pushed for us to go to the museum a lot earlier. We got home late, so went to Mickey D's for dinner. Pigged out.
Monday: took a walk to the San Pedro beach, went back to relax. I was so tired, since we have done so much. Went to the wedding. Perfect weather for the outdoor ceremony. Saw a friend from college, saw other friends too. We left early since it was late getting started.
Tuesday: got up early and went home. Came back to rain. Kinda sucky on that part. I rested the rest of the day.
Wed: last day of vacation. Rested, cleaned, awesome day at home. Glad to see Momo. Mac will post some pics of the trip.

Because I'm Crazy
So, It's been awhile since last posting. I'll start with the weekend.
Friday: I was very happy to hear that Mari was coming up Friday. I bought red wine (the one I call the keyboard cat one because it has a picture of a cat and a keyboard) and popped it open for a much needed drink after work. Mari Mac and I went to Old Europe, and loved it from the very beginning. When you step in, you hear old time European music and the decor was awesome. Old pics and old kitchen gadgets. The food was good, I got the Jaeger Schnitzel and potatoes. Exactly what I was craving. We hit up Snook's Chocolates (the crack house for chocolate) and got a milkshake.
Saturday: Mac and I had an apt. with the caterer. Had awesome food and got leftovers. Was happy they are taking care of the dinnerware, bartender, and linens. Phew, I thought I had to do that stuff. I love these people. Mac went to a friends birthday party and I went shopping with Mari in Roseville. I got a text reminding me about dinner and I freaked out because I was late. Woops. Got what I needed to get done and went to Sac for an awesome dinner for a friend's bacholorette party. Went to the Mix afterward to drink and dance. Got home at 3 and Mari was still up.
Sunday: The cat dragged in Mac and he went to bed. I went to my book club meetup, movie and lunch. Was good, saw Something Borrowed. The book is always better. Had a good time talking. Got back and Mac was up. Poor Mac said he woke up and everyone was gone. Mari had left after I did. Enjoyed some leftovers.
Monday: work, then made myself workout because I am so fat.
Tues: same as above.
Today: Need to get some random things for LA trip and pack.
The title to this post is due to this: at my lunch with book club people, we talked about how diet soda is really bad for you. After that, I just decided to stop drinking it at work, since I drink a lot. I did this non-caffeine thing cold turkey. I am on day 3. Not horrible. Thought it would be way worse. Just earaches. And tired. But I am glad to do this.

Ok, My turn to post
Yes, saw Thor with Mackenzie. It was actually pretty good. Before that, we went to Felipe's and it was really good, except the chips and salsa was not up to my standards. Not salty enough and a weird texture of the chips. Salsa was kinda bland to me. The tacos were excellent. The best tacos I've had at a Mexican restaurant (not including fast food tacos because those are the best).
I'm loving Wendy. She warms my butt (since it's been cold recently) and I love the rubber mats since I don't feel bad about putting wet shoes and stuff on the floor.
This weekend is apt. with caterer. woo!
I'm really hungry. And it's sleepy time.
Momo was extra cute this morning, lying on his back, stomach exposed and a cute expression. He's actually acting more like an adult cat, not as crazy, which is nice.
