April 13

Changes are upon us.

Although I am currently lying in the chaise in my old study at Valley Oak, I no longer live here. It's the weirdest thing EVER. My old room has reverted back to the smell that it had when I moved here and it's weird. It reminds me of last May. Speaking of the month of May, I was feeling very May 2007 this morning while driving through Beverly Hills listening to Lily Allen. Sooooo reminiscent of the first CLR California trip!

My apologies for my lack of posting after I said I would start again. A sweet Barbados vacation had me all tied up, as well as a visit from Momsie. Highlights from mom's visit:

Malibu shopping/Geoffrey's lunch/Zuma Beach/Studio City day. We bought sweet clothes, had an amazing lunch by the ocean, walked (limped) along the beach - my foot is still destroyed, mom's toe is still broken.

Mom meeting Reese Witherspoon and chatting her up for quite some time. (I have a sweet autograph on my fridge).

Katsuya dinner with Leigh and Dave and seeing Leigh's new place.

Hot Rod. Mom being obsessed with Cameron and his Dr. Phil connections.

Visiting Brandon in the h-o-s-p-i-t-a-l. The "Christine & Courtney Hate Queens Cookies" were a smash hit.

Countless delicious meals and treats.

I hate Bed, Bath and Beyond, and I miss you Mom!!! Thanks for helping me get settled in my apartment!

Today.
Today started with a charming breakfast at the Polo Lounge. I've said it before and I'll say it again. There's something about the Beverly Hills Hotel that just makes me so happy. It's the pink and green. I love it. Once we were full of freshly squeezed juices and pancakes and french toast we hit up Sprinkles for free cupcakes since it was its 5th birthday. Went home, got mom's suitcases and dropped her off at the airport. Went to Hot Rod to get a pair of new kicks but unfortunately they aren't girl size friendly in the converse department :( Bernard called me sweetie and we decided that our matching Explorers were in love.

Next stop, Cameron's house. We went to whole foods and got kale salad (me) and a smoothie (him) for lunch. We went back to his place to eat it where I got lecture #745 about how i need to go out more and how I should be dating 4 guys. I told him to find me 4 guys.

Trainer time. It was SOOOOO wonderful being able to walk (8 blocks)! And I saw Ash and we had a nice chat. Boy is it hard working out when you haven't worked out in a month. And when your foot is still injured. Three of the trainers came to the conclusion that I have a stress fracture and need to get an Xray. Damn it. If only I knew how to go about using my insurance to get an Xray... if only this was Canada... if only I had time to figure this all out... it'll have to wait til Friday. I also did my world famous ab routine and was struggling. It was quite depressing! I need to find a pool to swim in. And goggles.

Now i'm back at the Mansion, doing laundry, should be doing homework, Jordan is on his way over and all is right and as it should be!
