Oh my gosh! I am sooooo jet lagged! I have never suffered before, but boy am I suffering now!
I left England at 3.15 on Thursday to fly to [a not so sunny] LA! The flight was ten and a half hours - the longest flight I've ever been on. It wasn't as bad as I expected because I was sat next to three lovely ladies who were also scrappers going to CHA. It was fantastic to be able to talk about our hobby with people who actually understood it!
When the flight arrived, it was a long wait to get through homeland security and then to the hotel where I finally met Angel (editor of SNA) and her daughter Kae - it was great to finally meet someone I've spoken with so much! We chatted for an hour or two and then to bed as it was 11pm CA time and 7am in England - I was crying out for sleep!! We all woke at 6am because our bodies are adjusting to time differences. Angel is a sweetheart and arranged a tour of LA for us, leaving at 9am for 6 hours. It was FABULOUS - we saw the hollywood sign, the Chinese Theatre, the stars on the sidewalk outside, some homes of the stars including Queen Latifah, Jennifer Anniston, Nancy Regan and Tori Spelling - loads more, but at 3.15am, I can't remember! We also saw some houses used in films, like Father of the Bride and Crocodile Dundee and we saw Charlie Chaplin's house - very cool. Then we went to Rodeo Drive for some window shopping - LOL! Then to Venice Beach - which is VERY cool!
So, as I just said, it's 3.15am! YES - jet lag is a terrible thing and this is my first time with it. I fell asleep at 7pm as I couldn't make it any later, so now I am awake and my body thinks it's morning and to top it off, I have had a headache since I arrived! I just called Rob from the hotel stairwell (so I didn't wake the others) and he says that it's because I haven't been drinking tea. I usually have 3-4 cups a day and I haven't had any here and no caffeine so far! He told me to drink a can of coke which I am doing now and it seems to be working for my head, but isn't doing much for my insomnia!! LOL!
CHA starts on Sunday, so I'll be back to bring you news from there, but in the meantime, here are a few things I've seen in scrapland so far today......
My CTM Cheryl has a freebie on her blog which is just beautiful - take a look... Click the image to take you to her blog and don't forget leave some love for her.
