This post’ll be about Craze’s visit to L.A. a couple weeks ago, or was it just last week?  Crap I can’t keep track of the days!

She and I were texting like teenagers the morning of her flight.  I was awake about 4:30′ish because, like the Disneyland commercial, I was too excited to sleep!  lol  After dropping the kids off at school I headed out to do some last minute shopping and get ready for her arrival.  Then I got a text that she’s stuck in Boise because her plane is fricken stuck in two feet of snow in WA!   I got a little worried because I did not want to be dealing with LAX traffic in the late afternoon traffice, Craze wasn’t worried, she assured me she’d be leaving that airport somehow that day!  

When she finally got here we grabbed a couple of cheap pizzas and chilled til our Vegas cabana boy, Cesar, met us at the house and we rolled out to Long Beach for drinks and appetizers at Boston’s.  Here we are with my sister at Boston’s.

From Boston’s we headed over to my parents house to have drinks with them so Craze could visit her L.A. family.  I think this is when we talked her into going camping with us this coming May.  Here’s Craze with my dad.

The next day, hungover, we had morning errands to run and stopped at a Pandarilla (Mexican bakery) to pick up some sweet bread to enjoy with our red beer coffee.  Then we started making tamales for like a hundred hours.

 The next morning we got up and she helped my girls bake cupcakes for Mister’s birthday dinner party that night.  It was a nice Saturday morning, we drank coffee, watched a dvd in our pj’s, chilled and didn’t start moving til early afternoon.  She rolled with me to Riverside to pick up College Girl then came home to do her chores (Craze is no longer a visiting friend, she’s family so I have no problem giving her something to do when a party is about to go down.  I mean, that’s what real friends are for, right?  lol  ).  My family started showing up and we decided to get a sober picture of us while the hair and make up was still fresh, because you never know what our night together will be like.  lol

Mister had a good birthday, my uncle bought him a bottle of tequilla.

He passed me right up in passing out shots, but I’m glad because the next morning when we went out to brunch at Ranchito I didn’t look like he felt.

From breakfast we headed to the kick ass swapmeet we have so Craze could see, as The Snitch told her, How Mexican’s spend their Sundays.  lol  It was a nice sunny day in CA so we walked around the aisles, drinking beer and listening to a live band while old couples danced their butts off.

We ended her visit with a Cece style balls out night in our garage listening to Art Laboe playing oldies, while we talked for hours and bullshitted the night away…until my neighbor came home drunk and wouldn’t go away, therefore ruining balls out night.  lol  It was off to bed, somewhere near midnight, so Craze could catch a nap and get her ass on a plane back to snowy ass IdaHO early the next morning.  Thankfully Mister was on his way to work and dropped her off because I’m not sure I was in any condition to drive on four hours sleep.   When she left I took my ass back to bed for about four more hours.  

Here is Craze right before leaving my house and I ‘m not sure if she’s mad, sleepy, hungover or all three!  But she said I should’ve given her a red beer to go, silly me thought coffee was best for her condition.  I should’ve known better.  lol

So that was Craze’s visit to L.A. for Mister’s birthday/tamale making weekend.  I already miss that Ho.
