Caley in Cali

You'd be amazed how many people say that to me as if I've never heard it before. Believe it or not, I get it ALL THE TIME. I really am in Cali right now though...looking out at the Catalina Islands off the coast in the Pacific Ocean...sun shining, palm trees...Mexican food...
I'm in Ventura at my grandparents for a bit until I go to see my sister tomorrow. They are wonderful people and are constantly making me shake my head. Grandma can go off on a tirade about obesity in the United States at the drop of the hat. Its unbelievable how worked up she gets about it. Grandpa on the other hand gave me a lecture this morning on how to save time using the microwave by hitting 55 seconds instead of 60 since then you don't have to make the effort of moving your finger from the 6 to the 0. Neither of them were positive that this Sunday was Easter...they just couldn't remember.
The three Blackburn girls are in town staying with the three Posey girls and they are all just adorable. From age 3 to 11 they stairstep in age and could not be cuter if they tried. Tonight there is a taco party at Aunt Ellie-bob's and Uncle Joe-bob's house and everyone will be there. Chaos will inevitably ensue.
In two days I read a 400 page book that was not assigned for any of my classes. It was bliss. What can you expect from a girl when her mother gives her the new book out (Vanishing Acts) by her favorite author (Jodi Picoult)?
I'm out. Time to learn how to make Grandma's world famous cornbread. Mmmm.
