Weekend Wonders Cont'd
Fabulous weekend! I must attempt to review it. First off i was not looking forward to the plans this weekend. J had gotten us tickets to the wealth and real estate expo seminar at LA convention center. Not exactly my cup of tea. I was like uh excuse me...this is not how i want to spend both days of my weekend...sitting...listening to some shit that i am not interested in one bit. I sucked it up and went b/c he was really excited about it and really wanted me to share it with him. As we were walking inside on Saturday i looked at him and said, "honey, you know i am doing this for you. i am not thrilled to be spending my day like this but i know it means a lot to you so that is why i am going." He looks at me and makes me stop. Looks in to my eyes and says, "babe, this is something for us. we are in this together. this is our lives and our future. we need to know what to do with our money. you are my partner." Needless to say...the words hit hard. It was true. This is something we needed to know. We need to take charge, learn, grasp, and live our lives to the fullest potential. He makes me a better person, inspires me and with this i know...he was sent to me from God.The day at the convention center turned out to be exceptional. We stumbled upon an amazing speaker. James Smith was his name. I sat there absolutely mesmerized, soaking in all this information that was relayed in a comedian type of way. "How to flip properties and make millions." This speaker...a true man of God...his message was just incredible. J and i both looked at eachother and were just freaking amazed. This guy was definitely worth the horrible drive up there, the parking, the time, the bs, the crowds...i wanted to shake his hand afterwards and just simply tell him he touched me. James actually attempted to...was like following his possy and got up near his side and we sat there and listened to him be interviewed afterwards. This...was worth it!
We had planned a sushi date while up in LA in Santa Monica...this place he has heard so much about...i don't want to share...b/c it may become more popular...in that case...harder to get into...fucking exceptional, outlandishly fresh, fabulous presentation of a freaking yummy scrumptious sushi dinner! On our way home we stopped at the SM pier and watched the sunset. Both of us were miserable b/c we had to P so bad...it was beautiful though and a nice, chilly stroll along the boardwalk...arm and arm with my honey. I am so freaking lucky!
Sunday we attempted to make it up to LA again to listen to Suze Orman but as we were stuck on the 5N going 3 mph we looked at eachother and mutually decided this is not how we would like to spend half our Sunday...in traffic. We would only be there for 45 minutes to hear her and we just said screw it and turned around. What a grand idea that was~
instead...we...
*cleaned his room, his trunk, did 3 loads of his laundry-wow i am a good girlfriend
*went on a 3 mile bike ride with buddy...he freaking thought he was in heaven...sunset...back bay...running a million miles an hour next to daddy...a family sunday exercise
*did a load of my laundry, cleaned my trunk, AND switched every hanger in my closet to the white plastics i have had sitting in my living room for a month waiting-what a damn good boyfriend i have to help me!
*i had cramps and so he made me dinner and then went to buy me cookie dough...my pms treat!
Weekend Wonder....for sure!
