Another Year Older....

So another year has come an gone in my life. I'm now 26 years old. I can't help but to think that in 4 more years I'll be 30. I don't feel like I have any business turning 30. I suppose I should just try and enjoy this year and not dwell on what's to come. I will say that I do have many goals I hope to accomplish in these next 4 years so I better get myself in gear and focus.

Mom came into town from Idaho for to help me celebrate my birthday. For those of you who don't know, Mom and I share consecutive birthdays. Mine on the 6th, hers on the 7th. So it was a combined birthday celebration. Mom helped me *spruce* up my bicycle for my birthday present. I now have a cute bell to get people to move out of my way, a comfy seat for my you know what, a water bottle holder, new tires and squeak free breaks!! Very exciting for this LA Girl who rides her bike everywhere!! In fact, my latest credit card bill showed my last gas purchase was made on September 18. Over a month ago since I filled up on gas!! When is the last time you didn't put gas in your car for over a month???

Anyways, cleaning my bike up wasn't the only thing I did for my big day. We also went geocaching!! A few of you might know what this is, or at least heard about it, but my short description of it is an adult scavenger hunt using a GPS. It's addicting once you get started. Not to bore you with details, but Mom and I spent the day on our bikes, by the beach hunting caches. I really couldn't have asked for a better birthday. We also spent Mom's birthday doing the exact same thing. If anyone comes out to visit me, I'll be sure to take you caching!

I've failed to write for awhile so let me fill you on on whats been happening. I've been working my tail off, for starters. Event planning, Starbucks, Sephora, and the occasional baby-sitting gig is keeping me on the go. Early mornings and late nights, but I enjoy it.

I've decided my blog should also be a place where I keep track of my celebrity sightings. I'll attach any pictures I can get without being to TMZ. So for your enjoyment, let me tell you who I've spotted.

-Steven Baldwin on the Santa Monica Pier with his shirt up.

-Paul Johansson (aka Dan Scott, the mean father on "One Tree Hill"). I served him his coffee at Starbucks. Googling and giggling all the while.

-I've yet to run into him, but I've been told John Tesh is a fellow member of my church. I'll have to keep my eyes peeled for him. Because who doesn't love John Tesh??

That's my sightings so far. Certainly no Brad Pitt, but I'm keeping my eyes peeled.

I got "scouted" out by some modeling agency while working at Starbucks. That was fun.

I registered my car to California. I now have California license plates and a California drivers license. I'm much more official now. I also feel better about cutting people off in traffic. Before it was "Go back to Kansas!," now it's, "b**ch, get the f**k off the road!" Ha Ha Ha. People need to just let it go. They'll get there when they get there.

I'll finish things up by letting you all know my roommate, Eric, and I are entering a photography contest by Smashbox Studios. Eric is the photographer and I'm his model. We spent the other night out on the beach shooting. Our theme is "Fashion to Die For." We make a good team and we got some really great photos. So to keep you all in suspense, I'll post the photos in my upcoming blog.

And very lastly, I'd like to thank my friend Kristin for becoming a follower to my blog. She is the first, and possibly only person to read this. So from the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU. **You've just won free coffee from Starbucks!!** (let me know what you like.)

LA Girl is signing off.
