bye sakura...! see you next year....!

[aimeekitty]

I had a little time to kill inbetween errands so I went up to ANTHONY C. BEILENSON PARK in Van Nuys. Turns out some of the sakura trees there actually DID put out a full bloom. But by now they were a little past-peak (ie darker blossoms, flowers dying). And some trees did not bloom at all, which is rather worry-some. But I'm glad I got to see them! I found a big tree and sat under it for a while with the ducks.

Later, I had the interesting experience of exchanging a skirt at the mall for a smaller size, and being told that I owed the clerk 50 cents (due to the tax raise). So... I'm not even BUYING anything, I'm exchanging something (for a smaller size, no less... ) and I have to pay the sales tax. lol.

Yesterday, I went through 90% of my books in the living room and separated some out for sale. I'll put those up here later when I feel like dealing with it. -_- Today, I'm moving to the guest bedroom and then the master for cleaning. ... then the garage. *shudder*. This is all, btw, a PRE-cleaning/organizing. I'm begging my mom to come out and help me do it even better. She's an adorable machine.

... I have the urge to make daisy chains and sit in the sun... but it's a bit chilly today and work's to be done.

apologies if these pictures break. LJ doesn't always let me keep the pictures up, and my personal website won't be reliable for a bit as I'm changing servers. I'll post more pictures later.
