Subject: stuff to bore you

Some about my trip and the Christmas I have already had. I will try to keep this short but we all know how well I do on that, lol. So if I do write to much just skim =)

Soo Thursday we left pretty early and stopped in Guerneville to see some people. We lived there for two summers to fix all the church problems. So it was fun to see the place all nice and stuff.

Then we started on highway one. For you that I have no clue highway 1 is RIGHT on the coast and so mean RIGHT on the coast, lol. You look over the edge and there is a nice cliff with the water below. Of course to there was a huge storm. Made for incredible waves, I have never seen waves that high, I was amazed. Although for driving reasons I didn’t like the rain. Plus I hate heights. The pastor we went to see told us about a “nice clean” place to stay..ha! We went in to our room and I said “I can NOT stay here” and mom and dad were like “you just don’t like it cause it isn’t all fancy” I was like no, it smells so bad in here it is making me sick. Finally they agreed after they stood in the room for a while that it wasn’t going to work. So my dad told the lady that the room smelled yadda so she was like try another room. It smelled so bad in there. Smelled like smoke and mildew and the place was just downright nasty. Sooo we started driving to find another one. We found this place called “The Whale Watching Inn” Since it was POURING rain dad was the only one to check out the room and make sure it was ok he got to see the cool waves. The hotel is on a cliff and he said since the waves were so high you could see them crashing on the rocks. We had to get to the pastors house so we didn’t go in to see it, and by the time we got back it was too dark and in the morning it was calm wahhh. We hang out with the pastor and his wife and took them out to dinner. Then we went back to our hotel. It was amazing! It had a full kitchen, fridge, stove, had no microwave though. Had dishes too, of course the sign on the dish cupboard said “please leave the kitchen they way you found it” we have to pay a fortune to stay there and we have to do dishes!?! Lol There was a bathroom and one bed room. There was huge floor to ceiling windows looking out at the ocean on the whole wall facing the ocean. There was a window seat right under most of the windows. And a fireplace. All it didn’t have was a TV, lol. I had a deck of cards but it wasn’t a full deck, lol but we made do any way. I was supposed o sleep on this fold out sofa bed, well what they called a bed. If we could have been seen it would be the best comedy, mom was trying to get me comfy on it and it was not working. Tried to lay right to left and instead of top and bottom. course I hung off the bed. Then she stacked all these cushions on the bed and I got on them and kept rolling right off..ok, maybe you had to be there. Eventually dad moved out there but he ended up just making the soda and sleeping on it that way. They told us they would give us breakfast so we were thinking like muffins and things like that (like at normal hotels) Boy was we wrong, lol, they brought us two HUGE baskets of food. Omelets, fresh fruit (NOT canned! Fresh fruit at this season is a fortune and even more so in this dinky coastal town) waffles, juices it was amazing. The rooms their have diary from the peeps that have stayed there. Some just wrote names and dates and some wrote about the trip and such, cool to read some of them, then it got old. In the morning we went down to the whale watching room. Course wrong seasons to see the whales but it had a cool view. The place has a private beach too. But too many stairs to get there so me no go. We got some great pics. My dad and I parading around in out bathrobes. Then I collected all the fresh flowers (yup fresh flowers all over) and stuck them in my hair and my mom had me making the peace sign and calling me a flower child/hippie. Then we drove home, stopping and a few cool picture taking places So there was our trip in review.

Now since I am sure I didn’t give you enough to read about there I will tell you about our immediate families Christmas that we had yesterday. We drove up on Saturday to Betsy’s house. We figured to just do gifts then so we didn’t have to wait any longer wondering what we got, lol. Here is what I got: I got slippers, flannel pants with a very nice matching shirt and a pair of socks from Betsy (Betsy put it all together to make a full outfit, it is really cute). I got some scrapbook paper and stickers. I got to adorable precious moments figures from mom and pop. Janie was VERY good this year and didn’t buy any gifts. That is a big step for her cause she LOVES holidays and gift giving. Normally even if she has no money she still buys things but not this year! Go J! In my stocking I got: much needed socks. Very cool pen. Post It note dispenser (which is so funny cause I was thinking a few days ago “I need one of those” It sticks on to a surface (in my case the side of the puter) and it dispenses them. Razor (woo woo, lol) Ear cuffs. Scrunches (hair things not sure of spelling). Cute sailboat shaped post its. And some more hair things..I think there was more little stuff but I forgetting. So after that we wanted to rent Princess Diary’s. We tried 3 places with no luck. Then I started calling around and found it! So we ate and watched the movies and then went to bed. I didn’t go to church in the morning cause I was too sick (on Sunday) and after church we went home.

I have to get well soon. I have “diminishing breathe sounds on my right side” says Terry. If I don’t get well in a few days I have to have a chest x-ray cause nurse worried about pneumonia which for me (and other peeps too) is no no no good. Hopefully this isn’t true, last thing I need, lol

Ok, you can wake up now. I am done boring you =)
