Hey! I wanted to post about Jeanine’s The Body Shop giveaway.  You can check out the post here. I love giveaways like this, but I barely win anything. It’s the fun in it though, plus I want to make sure that her giveaway gets out there so everyone can see it! It’s open to U.S. and Canadian residents, so you should definitely check it out.



Let me just say.. Good byes suck. I hate good byes. They aren’t really good byes. More like see you laters but they still suck. They still hurt. I just didn’t know what to do with myself. I hated saying good bye to Memphis. He just quite understand everything yet and that breaks my heart. He keeps saying that he’ll see me later. But he doesn’t quite get how far later is.

I miss my family. I really do. I went from seeing them everyday to just talking to them on the phone and that’s not den every day which is going to need to be. I miss watching tv and playing video games and all of that fun stuff. Just going shopping and hanging out.

I mean, don’t get me wrong.. I love where I’m at. I love A. It’s just hard. I’m glad I’m where I’m at but it doesn’t make it any easier to be away. I hope this makes sense.

I’m just sitting on the plane right now. Mixed emotions. Excited and anxious to see A but sad I’m leaving my family. I also can’t wait to get off the plane. I’m not that big of a fan of flying.

So I’m going back to visit in June. I can’t believe my brother is graduating high school. That’s so insane to me! I have no idea what all we are going to be doing but it’ll be fun.

I thought it would be best if I just talk about the rest of the week in this post. It’s going to be kind of lengthy but oh well.

Monday, my brother had school but we ended up picking him up early. We went and got McDonald’s and then headed up to Tomales Bay. We stopped at the Hog Island Oyster Co and picked up 150 oysters.

Memphis ended up throwing up all over himself in the car. It sucked. We had to pull over. I think he got car sick. So that was horrible. It took us 2 hours to get home. We waited until my mom got off of work and then we went to Kim Tarr for dinner. My favorite Chinese food restaurant. We also went to Hello Desserts for dessert.

Tuesday, my sister and uncle went up to the mall. My mom went to go pick up my brother from school. So it was just Memphis and myself. Then my mom, Memphis and I went to Auto Zone to get them to run the diagnostics on her car but they don’t do it anymore. So we went over to DD’s Discounts where I bought Memphis an Ironman outfit and some Black & Decker tools. I also bought my brother some stuff for his birthday.

We hung out at the house until it was time to go to the San Jose Sharks & New Jersey Devils game. My sister stayed home because she had homework and her friend’s birthday dinner. The game was pretty awesome. The Sharks lost but it was awesome. Memphis ended up throwing up and almost hit the people in front of us. My dad made it home from school to go to the game as well.

Wednesday, I got really sick with a stomach virus. We went and got some pho. It was good but I could barely eat. We walked around Target and my uncle got Memphis a new booster seat, pull ups and an Ironman fishing pole. Then we picked up my brother from school and then went to the mall to shop for my sister.

We didn’t find what we wanted but we came home because I started to feel worse and my brother started to feel sick. Later that night, my uncle and I went to see Cirque Du Soleil: Ovo. It was amazing. Great show. Great performance.

Thursday was my little brother’s 18th birthday! While he was in school, we went up to Haight St and walked around. We got some pizza and stopped by the Coach store. We didn’t get anything but we went back to the house and picked up my brother who was then out of school. We went to Malibu Grand Prix and drove on the go-karts, which was so much fun. We also got on the bumper boats which we all got soaked on. My sister also started to get sick. We played in the arcade and then went to dinner. We ate at Red Robin a it was really good. We had a great waitress.

My sister went home because she was sick. The rest of us went and saw Cop Out which really wasn’t that great a movie. It was pretty bad. I like Bruce Willis but I wasn’t feeling that movie at all.

Today, I woke up and played with Memphis for a little bit before his dad picked him up and took him home. My mom cooked me up breakfast and I said bye to my uncle. My brother said bye before he went to school and my sister called me from work while I was packing. My mom took me to the airport and I was so late. My flight was late though. Thank god or I would’ve missed it.

And that was my week! I had a great time with my family. It was a long time since I’ve seen them last. I’m glad I got to hang out with them.
