A Fair to Remember

Yesterday afternoon Amanda and I headed to the LA County Fair. We were going to meet up with some other folks but they couldn't make it at the last minute. Fun prevailed with sneaky drinks, pig races, deep fried food, and insane crafts. Unfortunately the deep fried avocado and veggies did me in and I did not have room for dessert. I am sad that I did not get funnel cake, or candy apples, or chocolate dipped ice cream. What a loss.

Today is so hot and I am doing laundry trying my best not to touch the hot clothes when they are fresh from the dryer. Never did I think fresh sheets and comforter hot from the dryer would be so awful. I sort of liked our mild summer, I don't flourish in the heat.

I had a wonderful action packed Saturday which involved me consuming an entire bottle of wine at the Hollywood Bowl. Needless to say I was a bit worse for wear on Sunday and stayed in and watched movies. I got a big old headache in the evening and realized I was out of Tylenol but did have Excedrin PM. Worked like a charm but also made me totally groggy today.

At work today we did some model casting. These are days that make me feel fat, ugly and old. I like to pretend, looking at magazines, that all the models are super Photoshopped and no one looks that good. It's totally a lie once you see them in person and realize there are people that do look that amazing. One model I saw was a beautiful 18 year old who just graduated high school. She only had 2 photos in her portfolio and one of them she was topless. Sometimes the world is a strange place.

Okay, last week week was tough to say the least but now that I am all well in the medical department that I will not get into because it isn't pretty. Everything is much more manageable when you are in good health.

Saturday night I went to my last Hollywood Forever Cemetery screening of the year. There is just one more left next week but I have Hollywood Bowl tickets and I won't be going that night. On Saturday Amanda and I went to see the old (not the remake) movie Bedazzled. It was funny, not my favorite movie I've ever seen there. However, it was the least amount of people I've ever seen in a screening. So strange. I liked it less crowded, I wish it was always that way.

Yesterday I started a sewing project but it is a pretty big project with 26 pattern pieces with lining and piping and boning. It is going to take awhile to finish. Then I headed out to watch The Napkins first softball game of the season.

This last week has been just one bad thing after another happening. I feel zero motivation to even get out of bed in the morning.

Labor Pains

I'm sort of stuck at home this weekend which hasn't been fun. I need to go to the doctor but it isn't an emergency so I'm waiting out this 3 day weekend in pain. It hasn't been the 3 day weekend I've been dreaming about that's for sure. Anyways, I've spent so much time at home I am now listening to 2 neighbor children playing outside. One of them sounds upset and said "I don't like fighting." I can hear the wooden clank of broom handles. The other says self righteously "I don't like playing with people that don't know how to sword fight..cause I've been practicing." I forgot about all the mini wars I use to have as a child. I thought I was a master sword fighter too.

There is a baby crying next door and a man that is mimicing the babies cry. As soon as the baby makes a "Bwaaaa" sound the man starts yelling "BWAAAA" only louder and deeper over the kids wailing. Awesome parenting going on next door. On Thursday night there was a toddler outside, in the same house, screaming his head off for his dad to come back just after midnight.
