i ended up spending (another) 100-something on some north face stuff, a waterproof stuff/compression sack (for my zion narrows trip), and a sigg water bottle. so 2008 REI anniversary sale i spent roughly $250, this is so much better than what i spent last year… last year at the anniversary sale ONE trip rang up close to $700. i am such a “GearSlut”.

after spending 2 hours at REI we headed over to victoria gardens to get some jamba juice and do some browsing at the apple store and the oakley store.

then i woke up this morning with a sore throat and stuffy nose. yup… i am sick. i mean, seriously… who the fuck gets sick in may?! i better get better soon, by soon i mean FAST. i blame my sickness on this whacky weather we’ve been having, and its suppose to drizzle tomorrow?! wtf mates!??!
