Now that I am officially a Californian and no longer a full fledged Minnesotan I feel that I need to blog. Apparently everyone out here is blogging ( I'm sure that there are people other places blogging too), it is the IT thing to do; therefore, I am going to give it a wack. I intend to use this as a tool for my friends and family not in LA to follow my VERY exciting life (haha, I am already sounding LA snobby). Also, if I am able to stick with this (fingers crossed) it might one day become a very successful book, film or TV show...stranger things have happened.

My mom, golden retriever Maddy and I set out on the 1 day 3 hour journey (thank you google maps) from Edina Minnesota to Los Angeles California. The drive wasn't too bad we had two books on tape to entertain us( The Glass Castle and In Sunburned Coutnry). Maddy was a pretty good traveler but would signal that it was time to get out of the car by crawling into the front seat and sitting on Mom's lap (this happened multiple times). Throughout the drive we were calling and emailing numerous people about craigslist housing ads. After searching high and low, West Hollywood to Pasadena, I found a nice place in Burbank. I will be renting a room with a bathroom from a 30 something Philipino man named Rico, and his 77 year old father with bad health lives there too. It sounds interesting but I promise it is way better than it sounds. I move in Memorial Day! Finally a place to put all of my shit. I am currently couch surfing and living out of my mom's Acura MDX - NOT FUN!
