What a Way to Start the Year

This trip was quite an eventful one. It started out fabulous with a visit with my best friend Angie in San Diego. She picked me up from the airport and it was like no time had passed since our last visit. I finally got to meet her two beautiful little guys and we spent a lot of time catching up. On our last day it was beautiful weather and we went to the Birch Aquarium:





The view from the outside deck was AMAZING and it definitely made me miss California.



I then met up with Ai and the plan for New Years Eve was Disneyland. I've been waiting for this Disneyland trip for about a year now. When we arrived in Anaheim we found out that Disneyland was sold out for NYE. We were a little bummed but we decided to pre-buy tickets for New Years Day and we would get up super early to make sure we got in. We decided to go shopping instead and we drove to Century City Mall where one of my favorite stores is...


So excited to be shopping where there is real shopping! After that we headed back to our hotel to relax before we hit up a movie and had dinner. As soon as we got into the room I didn't feel well. I had the "didn't know whether to poop or vomit" feeling and after my first barf it was over. I was sick, sick, sick the whole night and the entire next day. My view for 30 hours was this...


I spent my New Years countdown on the toilet. I spent my New Years day either in bed with horrible body aches or on the toilet doing you can imagine what. No Disneyland for me. I spent $76 on a ticket and didn't get to go. I brought my Minnie Mouse ears and didn't get to wear them. Can you tell that I'm STILL bummed about it????!!? DAMN YOU FOOD POISONING!!!!!!!!! Luckily my Disney ticket doesn't expire until the end of the year so that gives me a reason to go back. I can't believe that's how I started the year. Hopefully, 2011 has better things in store for me!
