A few years ago Lydia and I went on an 8-day trip to Southern California. We stayed at my different houses, visited many friends, I spoke at several churches, and we went to Disneyland.
This time it was Jordis's turn to be my roadie.
We traveled over 1000 miles in my dirty minivan over 7 days.
We stayed at four different houses and shared a room and/or bed. Loved it.
I visited with as many friends as we could fit in.
I spoke at three different churches in Orange County.
We spent a day at Disneyland and California adventure.
I had an ice blended mocha from The Coffee Bean three times.
It was awesome and memorable.
Next up? Elijah. Not sure when or where but he is ready and waiting.
We left a day early and took 101 instead of 5 because of wind, rain, and snow. With 5 hours noticed I called my Aunt and Uncle in Arroyo Grande and off we went.
I jogged around their driveway and Jordis, Uncle Mike, and Stella the dog paced me in the golf cart. They could hardly keep up with my 11-12 minute miles.
My Aunt Leslie should change her name to Pinterest. If she was on it or even knew what it was she would totally dominate you. You would want to pin her face off.
Chicken in a basket. Just basic stuff.
They have an incredible yard. If you remember anything in the world, you might remember their garden.
And it wouldn't be a trip to AG with out a stop at The Bean. Ice Blended Mocha heaven.
Then we visited my old school friend Brooke and her family.
We stayed with Carol-Ann and her crew and then headed for the OC. Stay tuned . . . because this short series could knock your socks off. Or bore you to death. Better come back to find out.
Welcome friends, family, randoms, lurkers, blog addicts, fellow desperate moms, and Bono. This blog consists of mostly funny stuff that will make you feel better about yourself. Lots of mom comedy, non-Kodak moments, and un-fashion tips. On Wednesdays I write about my life as a former childhood actress complete with posts about how the entertainment business works, actors I met (or stalked), people and animals I worked with, my Hollywood friends, and photos of former teen heartthrobs. And if that’s not enough to draw you in to follow me . . . I have done some amazing giveaways. A rubber chicken, millions of doll hairs, and unlimited supplies of air. Come join the party.

Sounds like fun. Did you see any Real Housewives of the OC? lol
How FUN! I can't wait to hear more. I love your brown hair. I know you changed it a while ago, but just had to say it. :}
You crack me up! Really enjoyed hearing you speak and am grateful for the opportunity to hear your story. I laughed out loud at your Pinterest comment, especially since I just posted on my blog all about Pinterest! It's a sickness.
