Three days in Long Beach
5.31.12
7:12pm
Land. Pee. Excitement surges and I elate. I'm here!
7:30pm
Target. Maxi dress. No, I'm not registered to vote in Long Beach.
Omg this kid is so fucking cute. Heart sufficiently melts.
8:15pm
Homemade mac salad and quesadillas on corn tortillas. Wee!
6.1.12
8:30am
Bran flakes and fat free milk. Coffee from Portland, Oregon. Lots of chit chat and hanging out.
We're good at that.
9:35am
First walk. Crispy ocean air. Dog pees on three lampposts and takes a steamy shit.
12:03pm
Day goes by too fast. WinCo. Homemade pizza and the Champagne of Beers.
So cozy and full.
6.2.12
8:45am
Chocolate chip bagel French Toast with fresh strawberries and maple syrup. Bananas Foster for dessert. Two scrambled eggs. Coffee. Breakfast-induced sugar coma.
Bliss.
9:30am
Baby gets a bath in the sink. Officially deemed Cutest Thing Ever in Life.
11:15am
Haircut on the back patio under the stairs. New bangs! Shower, snacks, art and craft fair. Cool tees and things made of rubber. Too much want.
3:30pm
Sandwiches and iced coffees at home. Chat with Brother on the phone.
4:06pm
More iced coffee at Portfolio Coffee House. Reminds me of Portland in every single way. Can't decide if I like this art or not. Love this coffee, though.
Start writing this stuff in this little book.
Laughs and tattoo talk and good, easy fun.
Cool kids.
7:30pm
Tacos at El Taco Loco #3. Feel a wee bit uncomfortable being the only white people in the entire neighborhood. Ohh, silly white person.
No matter -- the tacos are the best I've ever had, ever. Stuffed our faces on pastries from the bakery next door. Five items for three bucks! Unreal!
10:05pm
Played two rollicking rounds of Scattergories. Laughed laughed laughed. Felt strangely like a "grown up." More on that later. Passed out hard.
6.3.12
8:30am
Wake up to coffee smell and odors of sizzling bell pepper. Ahh, more bliss...
Killer breakfast made by D. Lots of coffee (natch). Vigorous walk up the crazy inclines on Signal Hill. Invigorated! Fresh morning air and exercise. Crisp ocean breeze. *Love*
12:30pm
Hang with Melissa and Brandon at the apartment. Mesmerized by her vintage glow. Laugh some more. Watch August run around in his walker. Hilarity ensues.
2:16pm
Hair trim again. Raised the bitchy factor considerably on the new cut. Yesssss. Ate a sandwich with pepper turkey, packed my things, said goodbye.
Waaaahhhhhhhhh.
Too soon. Always.
3:30pm
Flight cancelled and routed from LAX instead. Delayed one hour. DOH! If I'd known, I'd've stayed a little longer. Maybe ...
8:03pm
Land. So uncomfortable. So tired. Catch the MAX.
8:34pm
Exit MAX and head to bus stop. Another 34 minutes until next bus... Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuu --
8:35pm
Start walking home from NE 60th and Glisan. Screw you, bus.
9:15pm
Arrive home. Exhausted. Dirty with airplane. Hip hurts from rolling luggage two and a half miles.
But so effing happy.
