I spent the day in my old neighborhood. Luckily, I was wearing my neutral gang colors and didn’t get cut. Kidding, I wasn’t a chola, but Cindy was. I just thought bare eyebrows and brown lipstick was cool. Don’t judge.
Since I was around town I picked up my little brother from school. It was snack time and I made him pose with his yogurt. I tried to convince him all the cool kids do this, but he didn’t buy it. 
Then, I did other stuff that’s so amazingly exciting I took 94 pictures. Not really.
My mom and I took a walk during Matt’s soccer practice. We used to walk all the time back in the day. I miss that, but live too far now.
I had never been to this park before and discovered the Greenway Trail.
There was a quote from the Grapes of Wrath about the wonder that is California. 
Dinner was a mish-mosh bowl of fun – broccoli salad, rice, chicken, salt, butta.
And my family brought back 36 cases of chocolate covered macadamias from their Hawaii trip this summer. If it was my house these would be gone. Let’s just say tonight this is my house 
And since we’re on the topic of my old stomping grounds… I randomly saw this on Facebook this week – my high school prom date is on Millionaire Matchmaker tomorrow night! Crazy right?!
YOU LET A MILLIONAIRE GO? I love you and Ben together, but man!
Yay! HH mac nuts are the best! But, hands down my fav is still are “Caramacs”, caramel + mac nuts + chocolate = insane goodness.
which brother was your date? does that mean they are millionaires now? I obviously have not watched this show carefully enough!
How random! No one I know has ever been on a reality TV show.
I grew up in West Covina, so we probably were gang rivals. 😉
Is that my chola pose?! HA! For the record we lived in the ghetto…..
Good for Abe and David 🙂 Abe was Monic’s prom date.
Wow, funny how that happened! You should do a segment on, “what happened to your high school prom date” ha ha!
That is a lot of macademias! And WOW to the millionaire matchmaker! I didn’t watch, but that’s pretty awesome!
Hahaha that’s hilar about the prom date. I LOVE Millionare Matchmaker. I have the whole season set the record on the DVR. Which brother was your date?
oh.dear.lord. aren’t you glad you have your man now? they look spectacular.
I will definitely watch Millionaire Matchmaker now. My friend from high school is the next Bachelor, which is also crazy!
That’s crazy, which guy is it?
That’s crazy about your prom date! I’m with Mama Pea on this one, I’ve never watched it, but it’s going on the DVR now so I can see!!!!
Hold up–36 cases?! That is a whole lot of macademias!
Also, that is hysterical about your prom date. I’d probably fall of my chair (but seriously) if I saw something like that. Was he at least a fun prom date?
What?! I don’t even watch Millionaire Matchmaker, but I think I’m going to DVR it now. 🙂
I don’t watch it either, but I might check it out to see if I really messed that one up…
So wait…one of the Cruz brother’s was your high school prom date?? They’re both pretty cute!
I still have yet to explore the Whittier Greenway Trail, and I live I’m Whittier! Did you see the signs for Whittier’s Spooktacular 5k run/walk for the Saturday before Halloween? Should be interesting!
Please ignore my typo. :-). Damn auto correct.
Whittier represent 🙂
That’s crazy about your prom date! That must be surreal!
And those chocolate covered macadamia nuts are awesome. Your parents have so much restraint because my bag would likely be gone by the time the flight landed in California.
