Well, reverb11, I DID in fact visit somewhere
new this year! I FINALLY got to go to the Los Angeles! And about damn
time, thinks this lover of gossip mags and all things showbizzy.
I have always wanted to go to LA. You know….just
BECAUSE. But Greg didn’t want to, because, in his words, “it’s gross.” See, he
had been there before, and so it was all, been there done that, for him – but
WHAT ABOUT MEEEEE? Even when we were in San Diego on TWO SEPARATE TRIPS he
didn’t want to make the two hour jaunt north so I could try to spot some
celebrities. (And, frankly, San Diego, which is where I will retire if I have
ANYTHING AT ALL to say about it, is kind of hard to leave for any
reason, so I couldn't really blame him.)
So last spring, when my work bestie Beth and I
had the opportunity to spend a grand total of 36 hours for a marketing junket
thingy (side note: sometimes, maaaybe once a year, we had to travel for
marketing junket thingies) ("thingy" is an official marketing term) in LA.
Never had we been invited to one of these things in such a fabulous location!
And whilst it was completely INSANE to take two cross-country flights to spend a
day and a half, including sleeping time AND working time, in Los Angeles, we
were ALL IN.
I have written about this before – click here for pics and details – but I want you to pay attention to the second to last
paragraph. I shall copy and paste it here, if you do not care to click over:
PS It needs to be said that I was soooo exhausted on Thursday night at the
airport while we were waiting to catch our 10:45 p.m. flight (that's 1:45 a.m.
for us East Coasters!) that I was laughing harder than I have laughed in about
10 years. I was like a lunatic - a drunk, stumbling, hysterical lunatic. People
were giving me dirty looks.
This trip
was truly one big giant you had to be there. But I will look back on it,
and my time there with my Beth, very happily for the rest of my life.
PS We did
not see ONE SINGLE CELEBRITY. Epic fail, LA!
PPS Please enjoy these additional pics, taken with my Blackberry.

Effin' good for you. I would have done it too. i would have spent every second as giddy as a school kid on his first field trip. To go to a place you have always wanted to go, even if only for a day, is always a good thing.
That was honestly - So. Much. Fun. A perfect combination of locale and company. I would visit anywhere for a mere 36 hours with you ANYTIME. There were laughs, and there were tears, but OH, the laughs!
i visited somewhere new this year: your mom's vagina. #myapologiesforthistastelessjoke
