so i'm sitting at my hotel on a balcony in san diego. it's so wonderful being here. they have wireless internet throughout the hotel, and even by the pool, so i can do this while here and catch you guys up on how the trip is so far.

brief update: jessie and i left san francisco thursday morning. we found ourselves in a PT Cruiser, a fabulous car i never knew anything about but of which i now love. jessie hates it; he thinks it makes us look too gay and pretentious and silly, plus it's got this milk-white color that makes it look like a milk truck. but whatever, i love it. (i'll post photos of it and throughout the trip when i return)

so we made it to my sister's on thursday evening and had a great dinner at outback steakhouse with her and my brother and my niece. fun yummy steak food. then they made me watch some zombie movie-- which was kinda clever in a funny way-- but still, um, i don't like zombie movies. it always seems so stupid that there's just these lifeless eating machines walking really slowly around. but whatever.

so then yesterday, friday, we went from burbank to san diego-- a trip that took longer than sf-burbank even though its shorter distance because of terrible l.a. traffic. reminds us all why we don't want cars or to live in l.a. ever. we ate a red lobster for dinner and it was wonderful. i was also stuffed forever after that. so full. it was also my first ever visit to the wonderfulness that is red lobster. my mom never has liked fish, so we never got to go there growing up. and i'd just never been since then. so jessie took me to his favorite restaurant of all time and he had the 'ultimate feast' of pleasure and i had some great food too. fun.

i love our hotel. our room's a little small, but it's a great little nook on the corner of the hotel with our own little patio section right outside the room. plus just down the walk next to the lobby is a terrific outdoor balcony-- where i am now-- and a beautiful, spacious music and living room. and the continental breakfast this morning was simply delightful. delightful! anyway, i made my way around the island of coronado today and shopped a little. i love this cute little island town. the beach is only a block away, but i don't really feel too much like heading over there. i'm enjoying just being at the hotel too much right now for that. it's a great locale.

also, i bought an ipod yesterday! it's so much fun. we went to target and they had them on sale. and jessie helped me set it up last night and i've already got it loaded with musica. so much fun and i love this weekend! more to be written shortly...
