On mothers day, Gareth and I went to Barnes and nobles to pick up a card for his mum. Actually, I went to pick it out and he went to Starbucks to get us drinks. I started reading all the cards and it just made me sob. They all reminded me of my mommy! I miss her so much. I bought Gareth’s mum a card and my mommy 2 cards. We went to alameda to have mothers day lunch with Cheryl and her friends. I saw this pinwheel at the fair there and had to have it. I’ve been on a pinwheel binge lately, buying every pinwheel I see. I feel like other people at Gate of Heaven have such beautiful ones and my mommy deserves it too!
My nephew Landon Eisenbach! Isn’t he cute?
How cute is my Misty boo boo?
Lobstah! At Jackie Too’s in Maine!
Seriously, last weekend was AMAZING. Garebear and I celebrated 1 year of being bf/gf at the Ritz Carlton in Lake Tahoe. His mom was kind enough to let us use her Marriott points towards one of the nights there and all we had to do was pay for the 2nd night! Everyone that worked at the hotel was incredibly nice and accomodating. I felt like everyone was our friend. Everywhere we went someone said “Happy Anniversary!”. Even the housekeeper! So once we arrived to our room, there were roses scattered everywhere and chocolate covered strawberries for us to enjoy! What a sweet man. We had dinner ressies in Truckee but decided we didn’t want to get in the car again so we ate in the hotel. I am so glad we did b/c the pork belly app was to die for. So we sat in the living room (their lobby lounging area) while finishing up our wine. We decided to ask a man that looked like Harry Potter if he knew where we could find bubble bath. He searched for 20 mins and said the only option was to buy a whole bottle from the spa for $39. We decided against it b/c thats a ridiculous amount of money to pay for 1 bubble bath. The next day we decide to go hiking and bring a picnic. It was early so they weren’t serving lunch but since everyone at the hotel was our BFF they can basically make you whatever you want! While waiting for the sandy’s I wanted to sniff Voluspa candles in the boutique but it wasn’t open. “I could call loss prevention and we could open up the boutique for you, ma’am”. No thank you Carlos, I will come back later… A friend (concierge) warned us that all the hiking signs have been taken down since they were prepping for ski season. He gave us a map “and here are some water bottles for your hike”. The map SUCKED. We got so lost. The iphone led our way! So we had a picnic and ate our 2 turkey sandys that cost us $50. Friendship has a high cost. So we had dinner ressies at 5:30 at Gar Woods but its 3pm and we are starving. We went to Northstar Village and ate sushi. Nothing was open to look at or buy so we go to Gar Woods at 4:30. It WAS so pretty eating dinner and looking at the lake :) We contemplated driving to south lake for some video roulette but 50 minutes in the car was too much. Back at the hotel we run into Harry, who said to GB “you look so familiar. Do I know you from somewhere?”. I’ve always felt that when someone says that, it means they are hitting on you. Hehe. Harry was very nice. He apologized for not finding any bubble bath and that if we come back we should let him know. He gave me his business card and GB wrote on it “Harry Potter” and drew a Nimbus 2000. When we got back to our room, the concierge Dana had left us a gift! Its a digital photo frame keychain! They did our turn down service and had romantic jazz and classical tunes on the tube. What great friends at the Ritz! Then Harry calls us and informs me that his buddy at the spa found us some bubble bath and he was on his way to deliver it! Oh Harry! After we watched a movie, we fill the tub and the bubbles were shaped like a heart! How perfect… It was a perfect weekend and my saddest part was going home (and paying)… I want to go back there every anniversary now.
I’ve been busy
I haven’t had time to post about my dreams or any other ramblings but I had an interesting dream 2 nights ago I wanted to share…
Have you seen the Dear Sophie google chrome commercial? Well I love it and I dreamt that Garebear and I went to go steal her. So we are trying to get into her house but we tried going through their neighbors backyard. We ran into this kid that was obsessed with Garebear and followed him around everywhere. The kid was dorky and annoying. GB said to him “run along now, buddy.” I don’t know why that little kid was home alone but eventually we got so annoyed of him (he talked a lot too) that we just decided to leave.
But the little boy wanted to come with us! We got in our car and he climbed on top of the hood! So we just started driving. GB felt bad and wanted him to get off but I said just drive fast and he’ll fall off. I don’t remember what happened next but I woke up. Weird dream.

Will it get easier?
Dear Diary,
I miss my Mommy so much. Every holiday since August I always think “this is my first Thanksgiving/Christmas/Birthday/New Years/Valentines Day without my Mommy”. Then when I’m alone I cry. Will it ever stop?
I know life is not fair but I just want to say “IT’S NOT FAIR WHAT HAPPENED TO HER!”.
Love,
Christine
OK, WHAT THE HELL?
My dream last night is one of the strangest ones I’ve had in awhile…
Last night I dreamt I was a vampire with a bunch of people and we all had eczema or maybe they just had skin rashes but mine were definitely just from eczema. I told them we need to get our hands on some cream or ointment. So we were on a hunt for eczema ointment vampire style. By that I remember us traveling at super speed and humans were afraid of us. So we get to this room where a rat ate the tube of ointment that was apparently the only tube of ointment left on earth. It also looked like the rat was running away from humans trying to kill it because the room was in shambles. We came to the conclusion that it was being chased by humans with the tube of eczema ointment in its mouth because the ointment was all over the place. However, most of it was on or inside the rat itself. The other vampires were so desperate they were wiping the ointment off the rat and putting it on themselves. Apparently, the rat has died from eating the ointment. I literally said hell no I’m not touching that creature! Even in my dreams I hate rodents. I chose to take the ointment remnants that were on the walls to soothe my dry, itchy, sensitive skin. You would think that vampires wouldn’t have skin issues right?
Another part of my dream I remember I was at some persons house who I don’t recognize and he says I should go meet Alanis Morisette and her baby because they were in the other room. So I meet them but her baby was asian and I was so confused because the parents are white and she JUST gave birth to it. No one else thought it was strange that their baby was asian or possibly it had a different baby daddy… For being a newborn it was really cute. I think my dream gods made the baby cute on purpose because newborn babies are not actually cute. They just look like they’ve been squished inside a uterus for a long time, you know? Another thing I remember is that Alanis had very long hair.
So yeah, there it is.
I’ve always wondered what it would be like when I moved back home and now I’m finally doing it! I get to play with Misty whenever I want!
So it all started with talking about it, then becoming more and more unhappy at my current job, giving my resume to Dawn, scheduling a meeting, going to the meeting, and getting a job offer! So on Jan 15 I plan to move all my things back to the Bay Area! I am going to struggle with where to put all my clothes in my tiny little house. I will likely take a trip to the container store so I can be more organized than I already am… I CAN’T WAIT!
I am so over LA and I know I will be a lot happier living elsewhere. It is time to move on :)
