Meh

I am starting to wonder if it is really worth it for me to schlep out to my brother's wedding in Southern CA. For one thing, I am somewhat shocked by how many hotels in Southern CA CHARGE FOR PARKING. This is not an area where you can get around via public transportation or just walking, this is an area you need to drive! I suspect everyone else but me is going to insist on staying at the La Quinta and honestly, the pool area is ugly, a bunch of people complained about the rooms being dirty at check in and it just feels cheap and unpleasant. Considering depending on how I feel and what the weather is like, I'm only going to able to be so active, I'd really like a hotel that or place to stay that is attractive and where I can just relax. Most of the news my mother had after going out there last week consisted of: how great the froyo places were. Wow, gee mom, so helpful. ~.~

I just got pictures of where the ceremony is taking place. It's a lovely outdoor arboretum, and it seems they expect everyone to sit on the ground. I sat on the ground 3 weeks ago at Coventry and had a really really hard time getting up. I'm larger now and I'm only going to be larger then. I can't get up easily from the ground. And I really need places where I can sit. This is so not happy.

And of course my parasol which I desperately need because I can't find any sunscreens that don't irritate my skin was stolen at the baby naming last week end. *sighs*

EDIT: My brother promises that there is some sort of seating at the ceremony. I am just being anxious about this and it does not help that I am just anxious in general.

Happily, my mother had realized that the LaQuinta is not a great choice without me saying anything.
