Powerful: Derek + Laura

So yesterday was my birthday. It started the day before: 1.) My fruit tart cake that we had after going out to dinner at the Olive Garden with Derek's family. That's when i opened up all my present. Teapot, Coat, Hat, Gloves, Boots, new purse, perfume, flip flops, Olive Garden gift card, and movie gift certificate. It was wonderful. 2.) My free PinkBerry! After work on my birthday I had Derek meet me at the mall to get PinkBerry.

Before we leave California I am trying to do a lot of the California things. 5: Hollywood. I guess it's an experience you have to have once but I really hated it. It was dirty and nothing like I imagine and you could just really see the sin all around. On the bonus side I found the Olsen twins & John Stamo's star. That was fun. No Miley Cyrus though. 6-7: Griffith Observator
