I just got back from a wonderfully relaxing weekend with Ben. :) :) :)

As you probably know by now, Friday was my (21st) birthday. Thursday night I was at home and had the birthday dinner thing with my grandma/parents, which was good. It's kind of depressing that my grandma's memory is pretty much completely gone though. She remembers stuff like the fact that I'm her granddaughter, but not what you told her a day ago or ten minutes ago or ten years ago.

Anyway, I got presents from my mom! I got a nice shirt, some cute earrings, and a cute little doggy with Sweet Pea Bath & Body Works lotion/soap. She also sent me a package from Harry and David which contained two apples, two pears, some fruit gummies, and some lemon shortbread cookies. So far I ate one of the pears, and it was really tasty.

Friday, I got showered, shared the giant cookie my mom had given me the night before, and stayed up late playing Cranium, after spending some quality time reading pirate fanfic with [livejournal.com profile] zwilichkl.

Saturday I did laundry and homework in the morning -- some theocomp and a bunch of hum reading. Then Ben came to pick me up and take me to Long Beach around 4:30. We actually got in the car around 5:30 and drove down to LB. Ben gave me presents too! First was a cute card. Then I opened the package, which contained a TOTALLY ADORABLE calendar of DOGS! A dog for every day of 2004, including fun facts about dogs! They're SO CUTE! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 Also, he gave me a travel guide to Japan, and a gift certificate for a whole lot of money to Trilogy Spa in Hermosa Beach! :D Now I just need to find time to go. The gift certificate has no expiration date on it or anything, so I was thinking I might wait until either (a) I'm really stressed out, or (b) winter break. Hey, [livejournal.com profile] etiphany, if I wait until winter break will you go with me? It is pretty expensive though.

After that, he took me out to dinner at L'Opera in Long Beach (on Pine). Soooooooo good! We got wine, which was pretty exciting because it's legal for me now. They didn't card us though. Anyway, I got butternut squash tortelloni in a spicy marinara sauce which was sooooooo good! We didn't have dessert, because Ben had gotten me an ice cream cake from Baskin Robbins which was back in the apartment. We went back and had cake (chocolate cake with mint chip ice cream).

This morning his parents called so he chatted with them while I did more hum reading. Then he took me back to school :( We went to Boston Market for some lunch, then ate the remains of the ice cream cake. Anyway, now it's 2:00 and I haven't gotten back to doing homework, so I'd better get a move on.

This weekend was soooo nice. I had a lot of fun with Ben and a lot of relaxing with him. When I'm in LB I forget that I'm a college student and it's just me and him, which is really nice. I'm always sad that I have to say goodbye and go back to work. But right now I'm still feeling the relaxed vibes from my nice weekend!
