| | Arrived in Duluth, Georgia on July 26th and left on August 10th. Needless to say....I highly doubt I'll ever be going back there again....if I do...it may only be for a week....
I went there with Ben and my niece Katherine to visit my cousin and her family. The primary reason being that my nieces Karen and Joanna were homesick and wanted family to visit. Well, I can easily see why they're so homesick. Once you live in CA....especially Southern CA it's really hard to get used to life in Duluth. There's nothing there....hardly any variety in food either. Only places to go are Wal*mart (went there twice), Target (went there tons of times), JoAnn's (went there twice), Circuit City (went there once), Best Buy (went there once), Kroger's (Ralph's and went there a number of times as well) and of course the World of Coca Cola and the Georgia Aquarium.
Ben, my nieces and I aquainted ourselves a lot with our nintendo DS's =) Since that was the main source of entertainment. My nieces also worked on their scrapbook of pictures that we took while we were there. (Makes me want to make one myself now) The World of Coca Cola was fun since we got to taste 64 different kinds of sodas =) (muahahahahaha >=)) and the Aquarium was nice =) I took a ton of pictures....as well as a video of the "retarded" penguin =) Though...I have a feeling this penguin kept swimming up and down in front of the glass because people where there to watch him =) Also ate at a Korean BBQ over there....which was very authentic and luckily Ben went with me or else I wouldn't have known what to do. All in all it was a relaxing time that was spent with family; however, it was also very boring =P
One more thing about the trip...ever heard about women's periods synchronizing? Soooo very true....four out of the five women there had our curse hit....needless to say my cousin's husband stayed out of the way, Spot (the dog) was smart and behaved himself and Ben had to be careful of our lots of moods =) (Thanks Bunnie! =))
On other news....the job hunt still goes....and still nothing in sight....I don't know if I'm going to be able to find anything .....which is rather depressing. It makes me wonder if I should even stick with teaching...or just find something else to do.....or go back to school??? Maybe....we'll see....there are a few classes I would love to take just for fun....but...we'll see =)
On 8/14 it was Dan's birthday and so Ben and I headed over there to celebrate it with him, Art and Phill as well =) (Yup...that's right...me and five guys.....be jealous...=) j/k) I got Dan a book he's had on his wish list for quite some time, while Ben and Phill just so happened to get Dan the same anime. (You'll have to get the receipt from Phill....Ben threw the bag way....he looked for the receipt =) ) Art got him a game for his XBOX =) Before Phill got there, Dan, Ben, Art and I indulged in the chocolate cake that Dan's mom had made for him for his birthday =) (it was veryyyyy yummie =) ) Once Phill got there and the presents were opened we hopped into Dan's car (yea i know....very mean of us to have the birthday boy drive....but his car was the biggest one.....I had shotgun =)) and drove to Del Amo and ended up eating at BJ's =) Where we indulged in yummie food, pizookies (Ben and I took a few bites from Dan's)....and Dan and I ended up taking tons of pictures =) So many that we had a few offers of people willing to take pictures of the group for us =) It was a nice time =)
I ended up hanging out with Julie and Peggy on Saturday....we met up at Sam Woo's and had lunch there and chatted about everything that's been taking place. After that we drove to Peggy's house where her dog, Jojo, loved me and molested me with her tongue =P =) However, I forgive her since she is such a cute little Yorkshire Terrier =) We then went to Mochilato (located in Fullerton) and had shaved ice (it was soooo good....I want to go there again =)) We then went to Old Navy, Office Max and then back to Peggy's place where we took pics of Jojo and of Jojo molesting me >=P
I know I'm forgetting lots of stuff... but.....I probably won't write about it =) so....tough =) I also know everything is disjointed and there are hardly any transitions....but....meh =P
