Shenanigans

When we moved to California last year I thought that meant daily sunshine and year around beach weather. I've come to realize that this is not the case. The worst part is, is it's July and this is what the weather looked like everyday last week on my way to work. It's supposed to be happy and sunny in So Cal because Disneyland is here. I always thought it was hard to get out of bed and go to work when it was snowing and cold in Utah, but it's just as hard when it's foggy and cold in California. I'm hoping that 80 + beach weather comes soon. Last week I was also traumitized by experiencing an earthquake at work. I was sitting at my desk when I started to feel really dizzy and my head felt like it was going to explode. For a minute I thought I've been looking at a computer screen way too long today and need to go home, but then I heard someone yell EARTHQUAKE. I don't know if I will ever get used to the constant earthquakes. The next day I got to go home an hour early because there was a brush fire and they were closing down the freeway I take home from work. Good news I beat the fire and got home just in time. It would have been awful if I had to stay in Simi Valley for the night and wear the same clothes to work the next day.
On Friday night Al got called into a surgery and didn't get home until midnight which meant I needed an extra fun Saturday to make up for no Friday night date, the fog, earthquakes, and fires. After Al's long triathlon training on Saturday morning we decided to go to the Dodgers vs. Cubs game.
Don't let this weather fool you. I brightened up the colors in the picture because the sky was so gray.
I always seem to find something way more entertaining than the game and this time it was the little girl below. Some girl behind her was eating ice cream and this little girl stared at her until the last bite was gone.
Her parents kept trying to feed her fresh fruit and crackers, but all she wanted was the ice cream.Al and I were going to buy her one, but I was worried her parents wouldn't like that. She was so cute even though she had a Cubs shirt on.
THINK BLUE I let Al choose what hat he wanted to wear. He told me the Cubs suck as he put that hat on and then the Dodgers lost.
After the game we went to the brand new Cafe Rio in Tustin. I've been craving a pork salad for weeks and it was so delicous. To make things even better every Cafe Rio in California has pebble ice. I don't know what it is, but drinks taste so much better with pebble ice. I miss living so close to them in Utah and Vegas. Please open a Cafe Rio in LA.
I had tickets to the Lilith Fair which started at 2pm, but the only performer I wanted to see was Sarah Mclachlan and she wasn't supposed to come on until 10pm. Al and I went to a movie to waste a couple hours and then we made it to our seats at the Lilith fair at 9:30. I was a little bummed because most cities had better lineups than LA. Some had Heart, Ingrid Michaelson, Sara Bareilles, and Beth Orton, but I wouldn't trade all of those for Sarah. She is my FAVORITE. I have every one of her CDS including both of the remixed ones:)I went to the Lilith Fair when I was 14 or 15 at Wolf Mountain and all I remember was a lot of women. 12 years later it was the same thing except it all made a little more sense. Al and I were definatley the odd ones out (see picture below).
Sarah Mchlachlan was AMAZING and so is her new CD.
The little dot with the silver shirt is Sarah. The Verizon Wireless Ampitheater is HUGE.
and here is a clip of her singing my favorite song Ice Cream.
