Daily Update - Disneyland Edition

So like some of you may know, it was a very eventful weekend. On Saturday I was in need of some excitement, so I went down to Disneyland. It was funny cause I was just going down for fun, and on the way I ran into Cheryl, who was also thinking about going. What a coincidence! AND it turns out that it was her birthday too (on Monday though). So we decided to carpool. It was pretty fun. I'm sure you all know how wonderful it all is, but what made it even funner for me is that Cheryl hadn't been before. It was like reliving my childhood all over again. I tried the whole day to get her to hold hands and then skip with me, but she would have none of that. She even made fun of me for wanting to do such a thing. It took me all day of egging her on to finally convince her to skip to the tram on our way to the parking lot. Then she guaranteed me it would never happen again.

During the day though we were trying to follow some of the Thompson family advice and find the best tasting restaurant there. Jeff told us that right at the exit of Pirates of the Carribean there was the best restaurant ever. So Cheryl and I stopped by. I got the 'Monte Cristo Sandwich'. Have you ever heard of such a thing? Its a ham and turkey and cheese sandwich that is Deep Fried. And it has a dark raspberry Jam to dip into for eating. It was sooo good. But all that grease that I ate prohibited us from any fast rides for an hour. I think my favorite ride was still the Matterhorn. Maybe because of the Swiss theme, and maybe because of the 10 minute wait in line, but I like that one. All the others were cool too. Except for splash mountain! The jerks there drenched us! As we were entering the ride, no one was wet. But as WE went on it, it was like standing under a water fall. And both on this ride and on Space mountain we where they take your picture, we had great pictures, worth buying, but I didn't feel right about spending $20 bucks on 1 picture. Then on Space Mt. I was going to photograph the display, just to show you all, but the two fat little brats in front of us wouldn't move, and wouldn't stop poking the screen, and kept trying to take picture with their cell phones. I really should have 'tripped' and fallen right onto them, then have them 'accidentally' trip down the stairs.

I found Disneyland the prime place to practice my game of 'Chicken'. You know how people walk straight at you and you stay on course and make them move? well, I did that as much as possible. I wouldn't even move for strollers. I was so proud of myself.

There are lots more stories, but they'll have to wait...

I forgot what happened on Friday night. Does anyone remember?

Work has been super busy, and the project I'm working on, I just found out that we're not getting paid for it. We're doing it as a favor. I now know why all architects are sworn to hate interior designers.

Lunch was sponsored by Marvin's. Only because Chipotle was to crowded.

I'm listening to Talk Radio right now.
