california dreaming

February 23rd, 2007 @ 12:47 am | blonde moments, family | Post a Comment

While you are reading this, I am enjoying myself in sunny (with a chance of rain) southern California. More specifically Orange County. The last time I went to California I was eleven years old and my mom took my sister and me to Disneyland. While I don’t plan on visiting Mickey or hanging with Cinderella in her castle this time, I most certainly plan to:

  • check out the gated communities and the crazies who live in them
  • hang out with Rachel Bilson
  • claim I’m one of the girls on Laguna Beach, not that I’ve ever seen the show or anything
  • check out hot surfer dudes (shhhh don’t tell husband)
  • join the Republican party (omg I can’t believe I just said that! I take it back!)
  • get stuck in traffic surrounded by luxury cars
  • get really skinny and tan and even blonder

If you couldn’t tell, I know absoultely nothing about the OC except what I see on television and from some other common stereotypes. Really, I’ll be hanging out with family and celebrating the wedding of my new cousins. I also plan on drinking a lot of margaritas, because it’s pretty darn close to Mexico down there.

Happy weekend all!

  1. Dude … If you see Jo from “The Real Housewives…” SLAP her. She’s just awful.

    Have a great vacation!

  2. If you see Rachel Bilson, slap her too. I hate her ever since seeing The Last Kiss. I know, it was just a role. But still. Hooker.

    I love Laguna Beach (love to hate, I should say). NOt that I’ve ever see it either.

  3. Have fun while I suffer here with a foot of snow (if the weather people are actually right). Enjoy the time with your family!

  4. Ooh, have fun! What sparked the mild fit of flip-floppery in the political realm?

  5. Look at you, just all of a sudden saying, “Guess what? I’m in sunny southern California!” I bet you waited so that we wouldn’t be jealous and hate you in advance, right? :)

  6. You totally forgot “Eat 100 burgers from In & Out!”

    I guess that kind of defeats the whole “get super skinny” thing. But, In & Out! Yummy!

  7. It’s amazing what sort of views non-Californian’s have about California just from watching TV shows. I have a number of out-of-state relatives who live in places like Minnesota, Wisconsin, Washington, and Arizona. And you’d think I live in a state that is 100% paved freeway, palm tree, and big city. Translation: that it’s all L.A. Couldn’t be further from the truth. I live in a mostly unspoiled area called the Central Coast. North of where I live is real cowboy country until you get to S.F.

    Okay, I could go on listing the ways and wonders of Cali, but I know y’all reeeeally don’t think it’s all L.A., so I’ll stop here. :D
    Hope you have fun down in Orange County!

  8. Oooh! Funsies for you!! I must admit, as I scraped 2 feet of snow off my car this morning I was daydreaming about sunshine and beach and palm trees…. sigh, June will be here soon enough I suppose! Have Fun, Be Good, and All That.

  11. I think you should just slap any blondely beautiful woman you see while you’re there. Just because, you know..

  15. On the slapping people thread, I would like it very much if you would slap Slade. He is possibly the most insecurely annoying fellow I’ve ever watched on television. He could use it!
