Monday: Because of hurricane Alex the tides and currents were too rough to go surfing at 6 a.m. So instead I got to sleep in :) Once I got up we made a plan to go see my uncle Art's grave. But then my aunt's neighbor Mikey called and said we would be able to go surfing around 11. He picked us up and drove us to the Venice Beach Pier. The beach was quiet partially because it was a weekday and partially because the weather was horrible. The sky was overcast and a chilling wind pierced your bare skin with each force. I could barely carry my surfboard because it was so heavy and my arms were way too short to carry the board! So embarassing! Everybody noticed that my sister and I were from out of town. We couldn't catch any waves because the waves crashed too close to each other making it impossible for us to turn our boards and paddle in time. We went home quick to shower and then continued our plans to go to the cemetary. On the way we went to my favorite frozen yogurt place called Pinkberry and got into a fight with a lady who was in line with her evil imps. We reached the cemetary just after the sun FINALLY came out. My uncle's stone was beautiful. His spot was perfect, he was right by his favorite boxer Sugar Ray Robinson (I believe that is his name). We spent over an hour sitting there talking to him and eating our Pinkberry marveling at the nerve the woman at Pinkberry had to get so fiesty with my aunt. We walked around the cemetary looking at people's headstones wondering what their life was like and the family they left behind. We had to go up to the cemetary's office to let them know that some stones were completely covered with grass. My aunt was a little unsure at first about going but I told her she would want somebody to do that for her or her relative. While my aunt talked to the lady at the front desk and went to the bathroom my sister and I sat down next to a lady who thought we were celebrities who belonged in the movies, after we graciously thanked her she asked us if we were twins. I heard that so much out there! I honestly didn't think my sister and I were so twin-like? But anyways.... We had a good day! It was good to be there for my aunt because she really needed somebody. For dinner we had In-N-Out again and watched Rumor Has It until I passed out in Art's room.
Tuesday: We spent most of the morning getting ready to leave. Around 1 we went to the Santa Monica 3rd Street Promenade again and I got a shirt for myslef and a shirt for my mom! We left around 3:30 to get to the airport. Way too much happened at the airport and I don't really want to talk about it again because it gave me such a headache. We got to our plane just in time and my sister cried when we had to say goodbye. I choked back my tears because I had to be the strong one for my sister. Our flight back was quick and I was happy to see my parents again.
Wednesday: Not much happened during the day! I had a soccer game at 6 at Wayzata High School which we won! Then I raced over to Music in Plymouth and hung out with Marissa, Lily, Alexis, Alec, Cj, Jack, Justin, Collin, and Matt. We just walked around and watched the fireworks. Pretty good night.
Thursday: I cleaned my room and then went to Costco with my parents. After Costco my parents dropped me off at my grandma's. I gave her her presents from California that we made her and bought from Forever 21. We baked my cousin's favorite cookies and then went to Ulta where she got a cream thing and I got nail polish and a cute headband. We went home to frost our cookies and OMG they were good! I showed my grandma the basics of facebook and let her check up on some of my old friends. It was really nice spending time with her without my sister. I really enjoyed it. After I went home I went to soccer and got killed with sprints. I'm not exactly sure why they didn't work as they normally do but it just killed! The rest of the night I just relaxed.
Friday: My mom woke me up this morning because she wanted a friend! How cute! I spent the morning watching t.v. Then we went to Lake Minnetonka to go wakeboarding as a family but it was too windy. We spent two hours enjoying the sunshine and then went home to have a pizza night and watch Youth In Revolt which was a horrible movie. Now I'm just.... blogging :) Don't have any plans for tomorrow yet!
