Pacioma or Pacoima?

I have to write this very quickly because there is lots to do before 9pm.

I had a very pleasant day today. WHY? Well keep reading and I'll tell you!

My mother and her friend Cara (well she is my friend too) decided they wanted to go to the viewing of the Rose Parade floats at Pasadena City College today.

We get there and park etc. and as we walk up to the line for the shuttle our minds change.

There were SO many people! Oh my goodness! Oh my goodness!

The guard at the entrances said it would take about 2 hours to just get onto the shuttle.

We quickly decided that we'd rather be water boarded then wait in the blistering sun

and away we went.

It got even crazier on our way out because within the 20 minutes of us parking and walking to the shuttle pick up, the parking garage was 5 times busier than before. Excellent driving skills on Cara's part got out swiftly out of the spot but we somehow got distracted and drove around in one big circle back to our original spot. Eventually we escaped the crowds and drove around lerking about expensive houses admiring their general splender. They were marvolous. If I ever am able to afford a multi million dollar house, it might be located in Pasadena.

Since we had a suddenly open day we went to Porto's Bakery in Glendale and it was wonderful and cheap! I had a major OM!NOM! moment.

It was packed! Lines were out the door, and I think I sold my first born for a table with enough chairs.

Something new I learned today was that San Fernando Blvd. goes ALL the way to Santa Clarita where my mother lives. I didn't know that but we drove that home since the 5 was icky. On the way I tweeted my location and when I looked to see where I was, I ended up driving through Pacoima!

Whats so funny about Pacoima Kim?

Well yesterday I was taking a return from a lady who lived in Pacoima. As I was typing her information into the computer I pondered where Pacoima was. She said it was near San Fernando. I still didn't have any idea where but low and behold today I drove through Pacoima.

Another little tid bit about Pacoima is that Ritchie Valens is from Pacoima!

Also I had been pronouncing the name wrong for hours!

I had been saying like pacy-oh-ma NOT pa-coy-ma. 

 Good thing my mom caught it because that could have become embarrassing.

For the rest of my day I need to find my car keys because they have been missing for a week now. I'm also doing inventory for our sister store in the same mall which I'm not excited for. Its money I know, but it's just weird working for another manager and with new people.

I don't know. I'm sure I'll let you in how it goes.
