My mother flew into LAX from Philly on Saturday at 9:30pm. On Sunday, we had a lovely brunch at the IHOP (or as Gaffigan would say, "I Barely Move.") We went onward from there to see "Get Smart," which I adored. There's something about Steve Carell's mannerisms that slay me.
Monday was a marathon around the Wild Animal Park, the day capped with some questionable Mexican food.
Tuesday...despite the park being open until MIDNIGHT, she insists upon being there before noon. There are some arguments, and we get there around 2:30, and thank god. By closing I wanted to kill myself. By 1:30 I was much happier after a tub + smoke combo back at the hotel. By 3:30, I was much much happier after some "me" time and I drifted off to sleep.
Which brings us to 7:00am this morning, when the screeching of the hotel alarm clock jarred me from my slumber. Off to LAX, a quick goodbye, then to San Gabriel to drop off my bro. We got some pastries and drinks, ate & talked in my car for about an hour before I dropped him off.
The drive home was made longer by an hour detour around Lake Elsinore to find a place to get stoned. Miles from the I-15 I found an empty lot behind some homes and a school. I had to do some navigating that was a little rough on my 4-door, but I found a nice spot tucked away that I parked in front of. I sat in the nook of a sprawling oak tree, had a smoke, and made my merry way out....and sorta got lost.
I've since been home, made myself dinner, and played a little Rock Band. Now "South Park" is on, and I need to retire to my chambers. I have to work tomorrow.
Anyhoo...this was me at Disneyland yesterday.

Thinking a good 3 grand trip to vegas is better.
