Gotta love ROCKtober! Definitely the best month on the calendar for the following reasons:
1. My birthday.
2. Fall. Leaves. Cool weather. Things that smell like pumpkin pie.
3. Thanksgiving. Chudleigh's Pumpkin & Apple Crumble pies.
4. Breast cancer month so everything is pink
5. Pink M&Ms
6. Halloween
7. Honeycrisp Apples
8. Libras are so badass
Woke up. Hollywood sign hike. Driving test. Passed with flying colours (obviously)! Came home. Got calls from Terrie detailing Dave's car breakdown on the highway en route to the airport. He missed his flight. Scoped out Dave's Ralph Lauren purchases (included the SICKEST oil jacket). Pizza for dinner. Grey's Anatomy. Sorry for the lack of details, it was too many days ago and i dont remember them.
October 2nd
SUCH a productive day. Got up. Had green cereal breakfast. Dave then got a phone call saying that he could catch a private jet to Aspen! Sweet deal! So I offered to be his driver for the morning. First we had to go shopping, which was amazing, cause as i've blogged about before, I LOVE shopping with Dave. He has good taste in clothes. So we hit up Beverly & Rodeo but we were SO early, so we sat outside The Coffee Bean and sipped on beverages (japanese cherry tea for me, pomegranate smoothie something for Dave), while bbm-ing Roger, who took every chance he got to make fun of me. But it's only cause he has a crush on me, so it's okay. Wanna make out? At 10 we went to Planet Blue to get Rehearsal Dinner Outfit #791 for Leigh "This Western theme is giving me nightmares!" - the cute sales girl (with the most beautiful surfer-mermaid hair ever... makes me want to be blonde again). Then we went to Ralph Lauren to get Dave another pair of smokin' hot jeans, horseshoe cufflinks and a tie. He told me that his parents interior designer also designed the RL store, which I think is pretty damn cool. We then got back into the Xplorer and headed for the private airport in Van Nuys. I felt so totally like Blair Waldorf as I stood with him on the tarmac. So cool. Oh, but first we went to Whole Foods to kill time - I made Dave try his first Honeycrisp apple and he fell in love! Because how can you not be in love with Honeycrisps? They're the perfect blend of sweet & sour with the most perfect crispy texture! Anyways, back to the day. After dropping Dave i swung by Sprinkles to pick up a free pumpkin cupcake to freeze for Leigh cause they're her favourite. Then I dropped off a cd of pictures to be printed, discovered "pumpkin spice" hershey kisses - insanely delicious, and went to LA Fitness to scope out the spinning bike situation. The situation is unfathomably bleak. I didnt even know what to make of their bikes. The wheel is in the BACK. WTF? The resistance knob is a lever (real bike gear shifter style). I had to have the seat at the highest and most far back settings in order to have proper form! It was all so depressing. While I pedalled I wondered if I could seriously handle this dismal situation for an entire year. I'm not so sure that I can. Damn you LA Fitness! Why do you have to be so much cheaper than all other gyms and why can't you just have Schwinn bikes!? Terrie and I made chicken and asparagus and carrots for dinner, I put my newly developed pictures in a photo album, tried to go to bed early cause i had to wake up at 6:30 to get my act together and get to school by 8, but then couldn't fall asleep.
October 3
So I was way ahead of schedule and totally didn't need to get up at 6:30, but I do love to be punctual. And I couldn't sleep at ALL so getting up at 6:30 was easy. I actually woke up at 5:45 and couldn't fall back to sleep. I was having a nightmare about something that I don't remember... I do remember that crackers were involved though. And perhaps a dog. So yeah, school at 8 to register. My schedule blows. I need to rearrange it. I will rearrange it and get a sick 2 day/week schedule. Went home for a 3 hour gap in between stuff, went back to school for 1:00 when I saw Brandon - he was giving a presentation on drug/alcohol abuse (Roger had told me he'd be there). So I felt kinda cool knowing the guest speaker, and realized that Brandon's really a very wonderful person. I love him. I also made 3 cool friends. YES!
Then i came home, talked to Momsie "tell me what you want for your birthday so I can send it! Or do you just want to buy your own present?", read a fabulous email from Leigh and Robyn that for some reason made me really happy, did some reading (The Crowning Glory of Calla Lily Ponder is going pretty slow...) and then got ready for dinner with Terrie and Lauren at Ago. Lauren and I had the most amazing pasta EVER. Gotta love excuses to get pasta! Spinach & ricotta ravioli in a butter sage sauce. Dinner was wonderful and cute and girly and now i'm exhausted and ready to chill out with the inside of my eyelids. Later punks. Oh - let's not forget to wish Mrs. Stefani a Happy Birthday. Happy Birthday Gwen! 12 days til my birthdayyyyyyy!
