back=760

Now. Should I worry more about being able to get that far back, working at the same time...or know exactly where I stopped because I remembered (out of 760 entries, mind) that I had read that entry before and that was where I stopped?

You decide.

Had the death march from heck kind of day on Saturday with caitlin, catsonmars and unclejimbo...I say this because we had the best time of all getting down to the park, aiming for 11:00 and failing miserably (so that means finding lunch) and Jim played roulette with downtown Oceanside...on foot...and failed miserably. No, he won't eat Mexican food...and just to find a nice ham and cheese sandwich was asking a whole lot. *rolls eyes*

It was not nice biting into the sandwich from Famima...and having it bite back. And then losing his Mountain Dew in the great shuffle...and meh.

We get to the park. We about die getting to the tram, it's that hot and WTF when did it get over 85 degrees?

However, the views did not dissapoint. Both Jim and Caitlin had cameras and the pictures are going to rock so hard they probably will go up on walls. Seriously.

Introducing Tommy to rainbow lorikeets was worth the trip. I think either Caitlin or he got the photo we can use for the adoption portfolio - looks like we're going to need a run-off to pick the winner.

However. It was HOT out of the shade - and everything is uphill. Everywhere. Don't ask. Yes, it was.

Losing 17 pounds really has made a difference, though I still had to call Jim back too many times. It shows that I did backpacking expeditions in my youth...I starting running tail towards the end, unconsciously. That was scary.

*smacks head* Check on Roar n Snore, doofus. Don't forget...and we have passes left over. We can do this again!

Now. I love sushi as much as the next nerd, but I have to complain just enough to keep this in the front of the memories. Dudes. Dinner was anticipated in much delight at 7:00. Getting your food at 10:00 PM? It was delicious. But.

We got home after midnight, and Jim got right back up at 6:30 to go to work - followed closely my yours truly. (8:00 AM call. Yaaaay.)

Jim gets an atta-boy. He also drove us home. (BTW, Tommy's Yaris is Just Too Cool. No, really. Definitely worth the wait.)

Annnd, I met a whole bunch of folks with journals I have to try to friend. It was really nice...even though it turned the weekend on its head for the remainder.

I'm also looking for an appropriate place to break in the shirt fabulous_papaya made for me - hmmm.

Wow! Your weekends are always packed and busy!

I love Lorikeets! I remember that the zoo here had an exhibit with them... don't know if they still have it... where you could go in and the Lorikeets are flying around and you can buy the little cups of liquid food and try to feed them. I got lucky and got one on my hand for a long drink. It took everything I had to be still not to squeal with glee and send the poor bird flying off. I had an online friend in Australia (near Perth) at the time, and when I told her about it she laughed and said that Lorikeets there are as common as pigeons are here. But that memory of feeding the Lorikeets is one that will stick with me forever. Pretty birds!

I'm sorry for plugging myself into my MP3 player after dinner and falling asleep, but I think it was either that or be too tired to drive home.

As it is, I think the walk around the park finally got me to hit the "point of exhaustion", so I didn't do all that much Sunday. Laundry and wandering out a few blocks was all I managed to do.

Picture wise, are you only allowed to use one? *wry*

And no, I did nothing much around the house either, Sunday. Friiiiied.
