Jenn, Scott, Stef and some other people are down at Hennsey's right now, but I had a bit of a headache and just really didn't feel like being in that kind of an environment tonight.
We went to Julian today - left at 9:30am and got back at 6:00pm. When we got there we met up with Jason and Winter (us being Matt, Brenda and I) at Miner's Diner then headed out a couple miles to pick apples. 5 bucks for a bag - not bad. I enjoyed messing with the guy that was there - he's probably 19 or so - that was helping us out. I was acting like a backwards hick the whole time, but very odd at the same time. For instance I asked if they had any oranges because the picker I had said "do not place orange 'picker' on ground." He said it's because the claw is orange. Then said they used to have oranges around orange county and they had lemons in Lemon Grove. I said something about how that makes sense why they named it that and that's why they needed to buy orange pickers. Made absolutely no sense but the guy went along with it. Much fun. After picking apples we went back in town and grabbed a bite to eat at a mexican restuarant that - regretfully - wasn't good at all. At least mine wasn't. I'm not very picky at all when it comes to food, I don't think, as long as it's something I don't hate (doesn't contain olives, mushrooms, stir fry, etc). But this was just a bad burrito. Sad. Post-lunch we went wine tasting in town for 5 bucks. Not bad! We tried probably 10 or 12 different wines - from Merlot and Carignan to a Port and a Elderberry Fruit Wine. Good stuff. Then we went to the candy store where I got some apple cider and got hit on/hit on the apple cider girl (Matt and Jason were trying to live vicariously through me and get me to ask her for her number but I swear she's 18), then went to a used book store, sat around and ate apple pie, enjoyed the calm mountain scenery, then headed back.
This evening I spent alone listening to music and cleaning my apartment.
Enough of that - feast your eyes on this.
