Life is so hard when your the single planner of something that has both a budget and issue with her quests. Even though my parents aren't very into the idea of changing the date of the party, Yet they won't consider canceling the party, not entirely, but making it a smaller party. Maybe go to the city and see a baseball game or stay at a hotel close to the wharf to keep us occupied.
I get the fact that my parents don't want me doing all this last minute stuff, like many of you probably don't, and I surely don't. Its annoying, but if this all works out, like I pray it will, then all of my invited guests, can attend.
Though Emily and Morgan will not being staying the entire time either way, Emily will be given the chance to stay both nights with us while Morgan will join us on Sunday. Right now the plans that are made for the hotel nights are arrive on Friday the 23rd, and stay Friday and Saturday night, to leave on the Sunday after, but I am trying to plan it so we would all leave for Santa Cruz on the 24th, which is the Saturday of that weekend, and we will stay until Monday. It might sound like a weird choice of days, but it gets everyone to Santa Cruz.
I must take a moment to thank two people. Kiah and Anastasia. Thank you for baring with me while the family and myself continue to switch, cancel and maneuver the dates over and over again. But this is nothing against Emily or Morgan. Both have been trying and working on this, i am sure.
So until next blog entry.
You know you love me...

Hurt
Okay guys. So since none of you have been so kind to take a few moments of you such busy schedules to check the blog and write a comment for a wonderful prize, I guess all that chocolate will be going to my stomach. Sorry. So i have decided recently that we will indeed be leaving on the Friday and coming back on the Sunday meaning that we will all be staying at the hotel. The hotel, which I have recently visited, is nice. It is modern, and it is fun for people like us, also it is on the beach. Like when your at the pool, you can walk down these steps and you are on sand. Then you walk another few feet and you are at the Beach Boardwalk. The hotels neighbors are the line of cool little tourist shops. How fun is that.
Anyway, the plan is that we will leave of the Friday early in the morning. We will get food and get to the hotel for some fun in the sun. Then on Saturday we will go to the boardwalk and shopping. There is so many things we could do. From the rides and attractions such as Lazar Tag, Lazar vault maze and indoor miniature golf to bowling and rock climbing, the boardwalk has so many fun things for us to conquer. Then there is the beach. Hooked up with volleyball nets and of course, enough water for everyone where even if you pee the odds you another getting it in their mouths are slim, but still watch out. Ugh, the idea of getting peed in water in you mouth is not heart warming. Also their is a more private beach for the hotel people so we could go there as well. Awesome. So anyway the stuff to do is endless to get excited. I know I am.
Well, that's all I got for now all of you who don't read my blog. I feel so hurt.

House...
Alright everyone. Since all of you, except Kiah for on some very random days, don't read my blog, i have decided to put this awesome news on my blog and see which one of you lucky peoples will read my blog and post a comment first. First one to do so will get something. I don't know what that something will be yet but it will be something good.
Anyway, this news that I wish to tell you but will only say on the website is, WE FOUND A HOUSE!!! And might I say it is indeed a nice house. The house has a hot tub, is pet friendly, TV access for all of us who wish to spend our boring moments with something electrical, not saying that any moment would be boring, and of course the best part of all, A Kitchen. Which means that we can stock that Kitchen with all the crap we can find from Safeway or whatever supermarket. Awesome....
Now i must say that this does not mean we will be staying in the house. WE have already made reservations at the Dream Inn by the beach and also if we stay at the house it means that we would have to leave on a Saturday and come back on a Monday. What I was thinking if we did end up doing that would be we would go to the California Beach Boardwalk on the Monday that we leave and get a better chance at the California Beach Board Walk being less packed. But we could also go on Sunday. Its whatever is better. The only downside to the house is that we would indeed have to walk a little ways to the beach. Not like a walk over the hill and through the woods but down the street. We can see the beach from the house but not unless we look from the Balcony.
If any of you lovely people have any problem with the dates, than we can still do the Friday to Sunday deal. We have not and will not delete the reservations at the Dream Inn until we are sure of our decision. Ugg life is so hard.

Okay. So now I can officially have a somewhat plan. Well, really at this point all I can say is that at the rate my family is going we are going to sleep in the Theme park, and as fun as that may sound, sleeping on gum, food, and other sticky stuff which you might not want to know what it is, can bring the whole fun part down.
So the somewhat plan at which I speak is the hotel. Now we aren't stopping in our search for a house, but since all the places that we have tried turned us down or told us that they wish for us to stay an entire week and there is no way we can do that, we will be having a backup plan, which is a hotel. What the plan is, all the girls will stay in one room and my parental units, in the other.
The wonderful hotel at which I speak is called the Dream Inn in Santa Cruz and it does indeed have a website so feel free to do a background check. The Dream Inn was recently renovated and is now totally cool. It has a pool, which can be heated, an hot tub, an restaurant to eat at or get room service from. Sadly we would have to pay for the room service so bring some extra money. Well, maybe I could get my parents to pay, but it would only be once I think. Another and probably the most important thing about the hotel is the location. It is right across from the beach and just a walk away from the Board Walk and Downtown. Awesome...
Well that's all for now. Oh wait, I have just recently discovered that Kiah, one of the coolest people and also most annoying, next to my other cool but annoying friends, read MY BLOG!! MY BLOG. I know. Totally surprising right. Or maybe not, I really don't know. All I know about it is that my blog doesn't just go off into syber space. It doesn't just go into the world as an empty blog. How cool is that. Well in my mind its awesome.

Weird Feeling
I don't know why but I had this strange feeling that I would have a comment on one of my blogs today. Imagine my surprise when that turned out just to be a feeling that will probably never come true. Except for that one comment that Kiah gave me once. No offence but I have this feeling that nobody reads my blog. Not that I expect them to, I mean really, it is only a blog about a trip where I say the same thing over and over again to get it embedded into your head.
If I were you I wouldn't want to read this blog either. Anyway, why I wrote today is just to say that. I had a feeling. Now don't judge. Its my feeling and I wish to spread it to the world, or more likely just get lost in syber space. huh. Well, I guess I can dream that someone, whoever you are, is reading this. Hopefully one of my friends but probably not.
Okay, moving on to party. So we are entering the wonderful month of march. Full of Little Green men, school and March Madness. Go University of Kentucky.... So I have looked and actually see that a hotel might work for the party, but don't fear. We will still make our loving trip to Safeway, or whatever market that we can find in Santa Cruz, and shop till we drop. Now to some the idea of spending your first few hours in Santa Cruz in a Safeway looking for food to eat may sound boring or weird, but it can actually be quiet enjoyable. Especially when its your mothers credit card you are using to pay for all the food. Can I get a Boo-Ya. Anyone? Nope?
Well, since my faithful daddy is one of the big honchos of the greatest elevator company in the world, and yes it is a world wide company, Otis Elevators, he does have some pretty cool connections. We, meaning my family, friends and I, could all stay at a number of hotels far greater than the one we might choose now. Only problem is the only thing near the hotels is a Gold Course. Not to all, elevator salesmen like to play golf when not selling elevators or talking about any topic pertaining to elevators. So, back the hotels. Since my dad has these connections, we can stay at an awesome hotel for a discount. Awesome... one of the hotels we have is quiet cool. It has kind of a modern theme. A cool modern theme. Not one of those, they are trying to hard modern themes. The hotel also has some cools suits. Like, big rooms with sitting areas, a view of the ocean, a bathtub/ Jacuzzi, separate room for sleeping and more.... The other rooms are just small and one roomed. The smaller rooms probably have better access to the pool though. Yes, I did say pool. The name of the Hotel will be given if and when we choose to book rooms there, but until them. Se Levi. Or adios amigo de el mundo.

Problems
Friends,
It is today that I will have to say that we, my friends and I, may not be going to a house for my birthday after all. I know, I know, those of you who sent me rental houses to check out were checked out and so far none of the houses that we have emailed have replied with positive feedback. They have either not emailed back yet or said that we can not only stay in the house for just the weekend but the whole week and considering how much that would be, it is just not possible. Of course, I would be more than happy to accept donations from anyone two would like to donate to the Party fund. Hehe, just kidding. Anyway, so if any of you have any ideas on what to do about my dilemma at the current time, feel free to comment. But we do have a back up plan. Either we could stay at a hotel for the trip or go to some other location. unfortunately if we chose another location, it would not be able to be close to Santa Cruz because we have already checked all places near the Santa Cruz area and along the southern coast line within two or three hours from where we are now. Yes, I have suggested to my mom we try L.A. but she believes that is to far and we would not be able to have as much free time as wished also. I promise to keep you all updated if another idea comes up.

Okay....so I guess I can finally say we have the dates for the party. Not date, DATES....So actually I haven't really chosen the date for the party yet but I will, when the time is right. Or when I stop being lazy about it. Also, I can't really choose a date until I get a house. I have narrowed some of the houses I like down to about 10 or 12 but since my mother dearest hasn't checked out the houses yet we are still undecided. Once we choose the house, if we choose a house, I will post a link on the site for all of you to check, but right now I am undecided. When
I say, if we choose a house, I mean, there are some problems with choosing a house. So far every house we have looked at has some sort of problem that makes us go, nope, so we might, wait for it....end up going to a hotel. Before you say anything. I know, a house sound a bunch more fun, but at a hotel we would have a bigger chance of being by the beach. Also, if we got a hotel, we would get our own room, so that would mean that the parental units would be out of our hair for most of the time. Sadly not all of the time since my parents would probably want to know when and where we go every second and where we are, my parents would probably be not that far behind. My mom actually has found a hotel that we could get a really nice room for a low price, but it is in Monterrey Bay. Monterrey Bay isn't my wanted choice but you never now.
So the four dates are the ones that I put in a resent blog post but since nobody wants to look for it the dates are June 25-27, July 25-27, August 6-8, and August 13-15. All are weekends so we would leave on Friday and come back on Sunday, unless we decide to leave earlier or come back later.
Until next time,
