I hopped off the plane at L.A.X.

With a dream and my cardigan

Welcome to the land of fame excess,

Am I gonna fit in?

Jumped in the cab

Look to my right and I see the Hollywood sign This is all so crazy

Everybody seems so famous

Clear and sunny in LA?!!? You scored! (used to live in So Cal from San Diego to Santa Barbara) I will chose to see this as a most excellent omen for the rest of your trip.

Thanks for sharing and may the force be with you.

Mostly clear. Plus we've been staying in Lancaster and sightseeing every where. :-)

Best place to go in SD for site seeing to get an amazing view would be crown point. Check it out! Its so pretty. Best beach would be mission beach. Best thing to at night is go downtown to the Gas Lamp district. Its packed with people walking around, shops, resturants, so much fun. Plus all of that is FREE haha

I lied not crown point Mount Soledad in La Jolla, or mout Helix. Sorry crown point was in my mind cause I went there last week

12 lbs in 2 weeks is awesome!

Amanda Rae

I know it is!!! I had a really slow first week from all the fluids!! But it seems to be picking up... But best part is I am getting the hang of being sleeved, I went out for dinner for the first time and ordered French onion Soup ate the broth and a bit of cheese and was done, not exactly sure how I knew I was done, but I did!! It took me as long to eat the soup as my family to finish their meals!! It was not so bad!!!

I am going to increase my exercise this week!! I want out of the 200s by my 40 birthday!!!

Your surgery is tomorrow???

How you doing, hun???
