Shaina's Travel Blog

Last night mi madre cooked the best cheese enchiladas ever! Man, am I going to miss her cooking! If I were Ryan or David (take this advice if you guys are listening) I would be calling every night to find out what's for dinner and then invite myself over! But i'm quite the self-inviting guest and always on the look-out for a free meal! free food rocks! especially fridays at costco! anways...back to dinner last night! My family has the best conversations ever! There is nothing like verbal exchanges over yummy food in my household! I think i'm going to miss that the most! Adios...y hasta manana!

The Pink Kitty has arrived! For the wittiest wit from the hottest Pink Kitty intown...check out this blog! www.thepinkkitty.blogspot.com

Ohmigod....I'm leaving next friday!!!! What am  I doing? Not only am I leaving everyone and everything I've ever known behind...I also have to get my butt from the Philly airport to the Holiday Inn! Oh man, I can already see...me wondering around the airport with my gigantazoid bags looking like a total freak, trying to figure out where the heck i'm supposed to go...back and forth and back and forth from one side of the aiport to the other...I get nauseus just thinking about boarding the plane to Philly...IM SCARED!! Or I'm really excited to the point of barfing...but I have heard that a lot of musicians and performers barf in the bathroom before getting on stage...
 
So, while on the subject of barf...Dara is coming into town today! Hehe, jk...well about the barf=dara thing...She really is coming. We are picking her up at 2:40 as long as the crappy Houston weather holds out and allows her plane to land. Tonight we are going to a play called "Dial M for Murder" but tomorrow....tomorrow i love ya! tomorrow, you're only a day away! Sorry, typing that word may me break into the Annie song...but back on topic...tomorrow almost the entire fam is going on an airboat ride through the swamp and wrastlin' with the 'gators...good ol' family fun! yeah, i've got the coolest family ever!
 
Oooh ooh how could I forget!!! I got my new ibook mac laptop today, that my g-parents were so generous to bestow upon me! Ohmigod...it is the most beautiful little peace of hardware ever! It looks like a little white flying saucer! It's stylish and useful! I loooooooooooove it! I slept with it last night and it is even quite the cuddly bear...jk!
 
Hmm...that's about it for now...yes..yes it is...Tootles!

Grrrr..dont mess with me, foo 

mimosa morning 2 (i screwed up) 

So i passed out fairly intoxicated last night and forgot the all=too-important pre-prepassout water binge! All night i dreamt that i was searching for things to drink and drinking everything i could get my hands on to quench my thirst...but nothing i drank did it for me! funny!

So I left Sacramento on the 17th, very sad but strange too because i feel like im on vacation and i'll be heading back soon to see everyone! REBECKA & JAMIE I MISS YOU GUYS! Orange County was fun...i got lotsa sun and my face is a nice shade of tomatoe red! I got to say goodby to my grandparents and Jenn which was nice, but sad too. Im still trying to grasp the concept that ill be gone for 2 years...but knowing me i'll probably realize it as i get on that plane for philly and leave my mommy and then it will hit me and ill barf all over the person in front of me!
So...I got on the plane at 6:40 am on the 22nd and flew to Houston. It was a long ass flight and it sucked. I sat next to this old guy whose shirt kept touching my arm and it really bothered me for some reason.
I hate flying and i need some really strong narcotic for the plane ride to Sofia or else...im um...going to be very uncomfortable. especially if the shirt of the person next to me touches my arm!
Well I got to houston yesterday around the 3pm and then went out for some margarita's and drank too much...suddenly at 1am i awoke to find myself on the couch with mavis sleeping on my stomach (that's my cat), drenched in my own drool, and a lifetime movie on the boobtoob...god i hope that's not a vision of my future! so pathetic! anywho...that's all for now! I LOVE AND MISS EVERYBODY WHO IS READING THIS!

Yo voy de Julio el 17 para el County de anaranjado. I will make my rounds around southern cali to bid farewell to my sunloving friends and family down there. Then i will spend 2 weeks in Houston with mi madre and on Aug.6th i head out for Philly and 3 days of cream cheese body shots and other fun things.

As for now, i am preparing for my first going away party on Saturday...how come i have do all this work when the party is in honor of me??? I'm also packing and trying to figure out how to fit everything i want to bring with me...my room is a disastor...PACKing SUCKS!!!
