Daylight savings time wrecked me today. I could barely wake up! It’s crazy how one measly hour can turn my day upside down.
Work is still a nightmare but what else is new.
Let’s talk Happy Things!
1. Rob & I are heading to WonderCon this Saturday. WHEEE! It’s local this year (in Anaheim) so we figured why not. 🙂 I just want to check out the exhibition floor and maybe go see a panel or two. It’ll be interesting to see how different the experience is compared to Comic-Con. If it’s a bust, there’s always Disneyland right across the street.
2. Discovering amazing local restaurants. We live in a part of Orange County where chains and big box stores are the norm (not knocking these establishments — I LOVE Target and have a weakness for Chipotle) but every once in awhile, we stumble upon a real find. This past weekend we had brunch at Break of Dawn in Laguna Hills and I cannot wait to go back!
I had the Sausage and Rice (DAMN GOOD) and Rob had the Creme Brulee French Toast (F*ING GOOD). We want to try everything else on the menu. Hehe.
3. I’m going to be a godmother to my niece (my cousin’s daughter!). Damn, I’m getting old. OK OK. I *am* old.
4. Getting back to the swing of things and working on the house. When we moved in back in 2010, we went a little crazy painting and buying furniture that we burned out pretty quickly. We haven’t done anything major since then. This year, we have plans to paint the guest room (leaning towards gray), move Rob’s office upstairs, look for a buffet to reside near the kitchen, and possibly invest in a new sofa/sectional. Rob even managed to install the ceiling fan we got for Christmas. So pretty. YAY.
5. I have constant wanderlust. CONSTANT. So I’m excited that we have our next vacation lined up! We’ll be spending 9 nights between NYC & Washington, DC in early May. I haven’t been to either city since I was around 10 (possibly younger) and Rob’s never been to either one so they’re pretty much new destinations for us. If anyone has recs for attractions or dining, I’d love to hear them! 🙂
Hope everyone is having a great week!
i might go to the geek and sundry panel…i’ll check out qmx and the browncoat booth…i liked nyc a lot, and thinking back, i should have taken a few days to go to DC while i was out there
Oh man, so much fun for you!! I love NYC and would love to get back there. I’ve still never been to Washington DC and I feel like, given my love of history, that’s a real mark on me, lol.
I may have to ask your advice for some places to visit (if I have time!) when I’m in Anaheim in June.
Kel, please tell me you saw ASkars (again!) at WonderCon and got good photos for me. 🙂 I would normally have no interest in seeing Battleship, but with Eric Northman and Tim Riggins both in it (+Peter Berg direction), I won’t be able to pass it up!
Hi Carms! Sadly, no pics of ASkars this time. We were only at WonderCon for a couple of hours on Saturday. We went early thinking it would be crazy like Comic-Con so by the time we were done checking out the floor, we didn’t feel like sticking around 2-4 more hours to wait for panels (I had planned to see Emma Stone at the Spider-Man panel). Oh, well. 🙁 I was even MORE bummed when I heard that JOSHUA JACKSON was at WonderCon the following day — of course the day we didn’t have tickets. ARGH.
