this past weekend was pretty fun...kinda busy and rushed, but fun. thurs, went to work then richard's graduation...it was ok. i thot most of the kids were pretty imature, but eh *shrug* then friday, had work then tamaron's graduation. was...interesting sitting next to her neighbors. dinner was good at left bank. yummy french restaurant. recommended for anyone! good drinks too! =) then sat, woke up to head down to santa ynez [santa barbara] to hang out w/ derek, daryl, and auntie bobbie and uncle dave. got to their house and they weren't home, but the door was open....they always leave it unlocked cuz that's how dead their town is. so waited like 10 min before the boys got home. then walked around town, had icecream. then daryl took me for a ride in his newly lowered truck...hahhahaha...it's pretty tight...i like it...went to blockbuster and rented The Recruit and The Empire. then met up and had dinner at this hotel my grandparents were staying at. it was pretty good, but a rip off. was gonna go to chumach [indian reservation casino] w/ my derek and grandma, but decided not to. went back to the house instead. then when derek came home, watched The Empire w/ john leguizamo [sp??] in his new room...dang, it's hecka nice....it's like an apt! fell asleep around 2/2:30-ish cuz we couldn't stay awake for the recruit. woke up when derek had to get ready for work. then went out to brunch w/ aunties terri & bobbie, uncle dave, grandma, grandpa, mom, dad, uncle dave's mom, daryl and daryl's gf, rosa. she's really nice; met her for the first time. she and my cousin are so cute together...hahahahhaha...then after that....went back to the house, hung out till derek got off work and then went down to santa barbara w/ him. went shopping for like 45 min then out to dinner at this japanese restaurant called something's fishy. it's like a beni hanas. it was good tho...better than i thot it'd be. go home around 1:45 this morning. it was nice to hang out w/ derek and daryl again. i miss them and it sux that i only get to see them during the holidays. and i'm so proud of both of them....they've made some crappy decisions, but overall, they're doin ok. it feels weird to think that they're both so grown up now and realy taken care of themselves and their girlfriends...cuz i still think of them as lil kids and feel like i still hafta watch out for them.

then today, went to the sf jewelry center w/ carole, cyndi, linda, christie, and val. whoa! DIAMONDS....DIAMONDS...DIAMONDS! so perdy! too bad i don't have any money yet...lol. spent like all day there. then went to sf chinatown to this other jeweler that carole and cyndi always go to. that was cool...small, but cool. he basically fed us dinner...he BOUGHT dinner for us to bring home...sheesh! that was cool...then ate dinner at cyndi's house and watched the adventures of larry boy w/ evan...he's such a lil cutie....

alrighty, i'm tired...peace
