Productive Saturday

I woke up this morning and decided to get the traffic school out of the way. I used GoToTrafficSchool which was referred to me by Cameron. I chose their cheapest online package and there I went. Cameron's print-out answers were 60% helpful. The site didn't ask the exact same questions each time. And sometimes the questions or the answers were either recomposed or rearranged. If I couldn't find the answers from Cameron's cheat sheets I must hit the "previous" button to re-read the chapter to find the right answers. Often when I came back to answer the questions, they were not the same anymore. So I would either have to re-read again, or do a quick search on Google to get the answers. Still, it was better than sitting in a classroom with 50 strangers for 6 - 7 hours.

I went out to have lunch with TY today. He decided we should eat at Mariposa because he said Fred Segal would be too busy to get in today. There were a lot of people out shopping because of Mother's Day. We had to wait 30 min to get into the restaurant. He ordered salmon salad and I had crabcake caesar salad. My salad came out like an art piece. Everything was inside a grilled parmesan cheese made bowl. It was yummy. We walked around Neiman Marcus and checked out Saks Fifth too. TY said we should go to Bloomingdale's since he knew they had a bigger sale. When we got to Century City Mall, we couldn't find any parking. The shopping crowd was definitely out in full force today. We decided to get some ice cream instead. TY took me to this casual, friendly Italian restaurant called Al Gelato on Robertson and we got ourselves one scoop of rainbow, one scoop of cappuccino gelato and a slice of their tiramisu. Everything's homemade there. I liked what we ordered, but I thought Dave's tiramisu tasted better. They had this red velvet cake that looked amazing. On display they also had a lemon coconut cake - Dave's favorite. Maybe he and Jose can check this place out some time. After this quick dessert we went to Beverly Center to continue our nonspending window shopping.

When I came back from the mall I was quite tired. I finally finished the exams and went out to have dinner with Dave and Jose. They also had a big day shopping, eating and napping. I didn't get to nap today, but I was productive. Tomorrow I am going to relax and maybe see a movie.
