I had no motivation to do anything do anything except lay around in my pj's and eat...

Lucky Charms to be exact. That has been my food of choice lately. My mother picked up a box of it this week because it is Jason's favorite cereal. Oh and Jason is my cousin/brother. Definitely more of a brother than a cousin.

Yesterday was so much fun. I went with my mom, Craig, Jason, Aunt Janet and my Uncle Phil to downtown LA around 2:30. Well first we went to Universal Studios and took the metro from there to LA. Then we walked around downtown for a bit, which was eerily empty. Like literally... there were no people in LA yesterday. I guess they were all sleeping off their wild Christmas days. After walking for a bit and checking things out we decided to stop at Casey's Irish Pub where we had a snack of delicious french fries and drinks. My mom and and my Uncle Phil ordered their famous Irish Coffee and dang was it strong and super delicious. Then we went on to look inside the Millennium Biltmore, a gooorgeous hotel in downtown LA. They were setting up for this giant wedding, it was so beautiful. Our third destination was the Westin Bonaventure, another spectacular hotel which has an awesome revolving lounge on the 35th floor. We rode the elevators up and down to look out over the skyline. It was actually kinda fun too because the elevators moves so fast, it's almost like a ride. After this we continued walking around the city till we were across the street from the Center Theater Group which houses the Ahmanson Theater, the Mark Taper Forum, and the Kirk Douglas Theater. We decided to look for a place to have dinner and ended up just grabbing some sub sandwiches at Subway. I got to spend some quality time talking about life with my cousin Jason. He's so great and I'm sad that I don't get to see him as much anymore. After dinner we walked over to the theater and still had an hour and a half before the show was going to start so we grabbed tea and coffee and dessert at the cafe outside, which was lovely. Thennnnn MARY POPPINS! Seriously probably the most incredible show/musical I've ever seen. It was magical and the stars were so talented. Even the children had strong voices, acting ability and even dancing ability. Dear Matthew Bourne, never stop choreographing! I just can't even put into words how great this show was. My jaw was dropped for over half of it.

Well I'm looking at the clock and it is 12:45. I better start doing something with this day or it will slip through my fingers as usual. Sorry about the long post!
