Back in the Habit

Oh man, going home is seriously the best. The fucking best. And yes, I'm saying fucking because I'm 25 and I feel like cussing on facebook or anywhere, I can do as I damn well please. Thank you very much.

Annnnd, now I'm back in LA and since I didn't do any posting while I was at home (sorry!), I'll just do an extensive recap here.

I got in off the red eye Saturday morning and I was, of course, exhausted. I hate taking the red eye because I never sleep and I end up being soo tired and useless when I arrive. However, I powered through like the champ that I am and two (or three) power naps later, I was having a fantastic time. My dad took me shopping for my big party on Sunday at Sams (thanks Dad!), where I got hit on by an old man. Then I went to the Fish Fry (yummm), took another nap and headed downtown, where my friends and I encountered the most entertaining drunk man I have ever seen. First off, he crab walked his way past the bouncer and then was a one man dancing machine! It was so fantastic. You had to be there, but I haven't laughed that hard in a very long time. He had some pretty sweet moves and we definitely all stole them after a few Everclear jello shots at Wet Willies. Things got boring there, so we headed to another bar where they played some Bieber (HELL YES) and The Fresh Prince of Bel Air theme song...kinda strange. A fantastic time for a little mini high school reunion.

Sunday was my par-tay on the beach and it was a tad bit windy and the tide was out of control but it was fun and the food was awesome. Then it was back out downtown for Sunday Funday! My brother had on some sweet ass kicks, I was looking good and a good time was had by all.

Whew. I am worn out. This recapping is making me very tired. I'll speed things up. Monday and Tuesday I just hung out, went shopping, had a great time with family and friends. Wednesday my friend from Texas flew in and we ate lots of good food, hung out by the pool and drove up to Lake Norman in North Carolina to hang out with the extended. I drove the whole way (it was awesome), and we enjoyed the perfect weather Friday and Saturday.

Saturday it was up to Boone, NC for my suite mate's wedding and it was seriously the BEST time. I had such a good time, I don't even have words for it. So great to see friends, dance, drink and look super hot in my new dress. Back to the lake on Sunday, more great weather and super good food.

Monday I attempted to fly back to LA but thanks to a thunderstorm, I instead sat on the runway for 3 hours, went back to the airport, got off the plane, missed my connection and got rebooked for a Tuesday morning flight. Kinda sucked because I had already said my goodbyes. I have a hard enough time the first time, but then I had to do it all over again! Pretty lame. Also, my boss was kind of a jerk about me missing another day even though it was obviously not my fault. Whatever.

So now I'm back and trying to lose the 500 pounds I gained on vacation. Ok, probably not that many, but lots of good food was had on vacay. So, I went to Zumba tonight. I want to make myself get in the habit of exercising and I was hoping it would get me out of my "back to the real world" funk. Not quite there, but it was a step in the right direction. Not looking forward to the insanity of work tomorrow, but at least it will keep me too busy to worry about what I'm supposed to be doing with my life.

In conclusion, home was awesome. To everyone I got to see, it was wonderful! I miss everyone already and hope you'll come see me in LA sometime! I love you all and thanks to everyone for making my vacation beyond awesome. I think being away just makes you appreciate home so much more. I highly recommend it.

Dream big people!
