The last 2 days were a bit of a whirlwind. My friend Allison and I went California for a quick visit. We went to go shopping at the fashion district in Los Angeles as we were both in the need of fabric. Allison works for JetBlue, which is the only way this would have been possible. We also stayed with our friend Jessica so that saved us from a hotel as well. It was a cheap and fast trip, and it was marvelous.
Take a look:
3:00am Monday: Have to be at the airport in 2 hours but I can't sleep. Haven't slept a wink. So when my insomnia hits I paint my nails.
5:35am Monday: Checked in and through security. Grab a quick bite before boarding.
