Day 247 cont. - Images From Solvang

Here are some pictures from the trip!


^Legal Eagle and I stopped for some famous pea soup. It was not yummy. This is a big moment because of a very famous pea soup story in my family.


^The town of Solvang, California is Danish so there is, of course, Hans stuff everywhere.


^We walked through a religious area. It was creepy.


^Solvang is pretty much like one of those Christmas town displays.


^I really wanted to find this mermaid fountain.


^Hanging with a mini donkey.


^And now to feed the ostrich. And yes, that is the gray bag I ended up with.


^Hey! Don't forget to feed the emu!

OK, that's all for now. Enjoy and we'll talk later!!

Day 247 - In A Minute

I cannot focus at all today!

I should be cranking out work, but instead I'm chatting and emailing and planning and thinking about how my reserved copy of Lauren Conrad's LA Candy is in at the library.

I swear I will update majorly very soon. Solvang was so much fun! Good pics to come.

OK, back to work.

Day 246 - Now THIS Is Blogworthy

OK, here is what I did last night:

Worked out with Legal Eagle, ate dinner, watched Top Chef DC, got a call from Gelson, went to bed.

Say what?! Yes, I worked out. Oh, the call. Yeah.

Gelson, for those who do not remember, was a guy who picked me up at the grocery store. We then went on a coffee date to which he never asked for a second date until...we ran into each other and he said that he was going to call. Then he texted later that week and was like, "I'm busy, but let's do something this next weekend." All in all, not impressed, so I never responded.

So, LE and I were in her room watching TV when he called. We both freaked and I let it go to voicemail. No way a phone-phobe like me can handle a weirdo conversation like that.

I would transcribe the voicemail for you, but it was the longest voicemail I have ever received (and LE is known for her long voicemails).

______________________________________________________________

Here are the main points:

Hey Molly, we haven't talked in awhile. (No shit.)

I've actually seen you around the neighborhood. (WTF?! When? And why are you admitting this??)

I've been out of town for a couple weeks. (We haven't talked for a couple months.)

I still want to go to the planetarium. (Then go, don't let me stop you.)

Talk to you soon, Mol. (Ew, name shorten so soon?)

______________________________________________________________

Honestly, we haven't talked since some time before LE's birthday which makes it close to two months I'm guessing.

And the seeing me thing? Thing is, I've taken special paths and kept my eyes open and anticipated seeing him in hopes of being prepared to avoid it. So how is he seeing me and I haven't seen him once?

But really, the best part of this is trying to figure out what possessed him to call, so here are my thoughts:

- He is bored and hasn't had any lady prospects since me.

- He saw me recently and I was looking particularly foxy.

- He's seen me walking alone and thinks maybe I'm bored and he would have a chance to get me to go back to his place this time around.

- He was going through his phone and stumbled upon my number, previously forgetting that I existed.

- He had been drinking.


Well, needless to say it made for an awesome, random moment. But now I have to take even more out-of-the-way paths to avoid him because I'm not going to respond. Oh boys, when will you learn, a girl likes to hear from you at least once a month. Think you can manage?

Moving on, going to Solvang this weekend as my birthday gift to LE! So excited, no time to deal with all this silly boy stuff.

Day 241 - OK, A Run-Down On All Things Me!

I know, it's been quite some time since I've told you what's been going on. So buckle up, here we go!

Work: I just got back from an interview. The guy seemed like a dick. (Cue him being a technical genius and finding this blog.) He was all, "The other people in this building are losers," and "I hate weekends," and "I want someone who works for Fox News and will work here for $9 an hour." Seriously...he wants a Republican? The interview was for a newer entertainment site. It's hard enough going on interviews, let alone one where you want to stand up, tell the guy to stuff it and walk out. At least I'm not in financial distress and NEED to take the job.

Neighbor: We talked on the phone yesterday and I stopped by his place. We are horrible communicators...at least with each other. He likes to talk, talk, talk, whereas when he says something like, "I don't want to get into anything," and follows it with, "I want to take you to a movie," I need time to soak it in and think. Basically, we didn't resolve much, but I did conclude that I'm going to go about my life. If he wants to ever hang out, I will only do so as friends. He isn't offering any sort of consistent dating and I don't want to be someone he takes out once a month. Oddly, I think I'm becoming OK with this. I did always think we could be really good friends. He's never answered if he just wants to be friends or date or go out randomly or anything. I guess we'll see.

Legal Eagle: Did I tell you last week we went on a manhunt? This is her new thing because she really wants to be a wingwoman. So, we went to this Irish bar and had so much fun. While we didn't meet any potential suitors for me, we chatted with many guys and one told me I was adorable after he kissed my hand. He later passed out on a bar stool. So sweet. But, we're going to do this much more often...in fact, we are going out in Orange County tomorrow night with a coworker of hers. Not a "real" manhunt as it would be nearly impossible for me to date a guy in the OC, but always fun!

Upcoming Goodness: Did I ever tell you what I got LE for her birthday? No? Oh, well, I am going to take her on an overnight trip to Solvang, California. It's a little town 2 hours north of LA. It'll be July 10-11. The hotel was not expensive at all and we are champs at eating cheap, so it'll be a good little adventure. They have an ostrich farm nearby. Yes!

Other Randomness: I'm going to check out tennis racquets this weekend. I got Sprinkles cupcakes for LE and me as I interviewed near the shop. I found a duvet cover in gray that I want, but it's $100! I love Pandora...it's radio station thing, but you choose a song or artist and it creates a station with similar stuff. It helps me find all the bad songs I love.

I'm sure there is other stuff, but I have work to do.

Oh, the baby next door has a rash. I heard about it through the wall.
