The Weekend Report

This weekend, I packed up my kitten, grabbed the laundry, and got into my sadly dented little Corolla and made the two and a half hour drive down to Watsonville to spend some quality time with my mama.

My mama is quite an awesome lady and I do believe she takes very good care of me every time I make the trek down here for a visit.

For example, my brakes have been acting all wonky and that just isn't very safe. But being a poor (former!) college student, I definitely do not have the funds to even have them looked at. I was just going to kind of avoid the situation, cause it wasn't really that bad, you know, you've been there right? But what does my mama do instead? She takes Rolly (my Corolla) to to the fancy dealership and then makes sure they whip my breaks into perfect condition. Now I won't die on the drive home! Yay!

We (me, mama, and stepdad) also did some eating at Caruso's in Capitola and some cocktailing  at the Seascape Resort bar in Aptos and the Green Valley Grill in Watsonville. And of course they always know the bartenders and half the customers, especially at the Green Valley Grill, because that's how they roll.

Cheers! (Irish coffees and a cosmopolitan)

Since my mother passed along her shopping problem to me (I swear this is a genetic disease!), we of course did a little shopping. And I got some cute dresses (!) and this sweet purse:

 

Apparently this is a nearly $300 purse...my mom paid about $60. DEAL!

Also, I discovered this new shopping (!) website, Gilt Groupe. I am obsessed. I think this will be the beginning of a beautiful relationship. Thank you, Bleubird Vintage for introducing us.

Now it's back to Davis tomorrow morning and back to work! But no school! YAYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!
