we met orlando bloom...aint no thing.

well my friends...Busy Bee Lauren is baaaaaaack!
As many of you have guessed, my secret mission was a 10-day vacation with The Tedward.
Don't worry, I took 200 pictures and have many stories to tell.
Awesomespice.
Speaking of spiiiiiiice...I see my mom thinks she is "coolerspice" than me.
What-to-the-evvvvver! Hopefully all of you checked out her funny blog, here!

Day one...wakin' up at 2:00 AM and driving for 6 hours to sunny California.
Pretty much the only kind of "sunny" I like, is when the "sunny" is 73 degrees.
Arizona's kinda "sunny" is more like, "death". Just sayin'...


Anyway, we drove to Balboa Island and walked around, enjoying the cute-spice bungalows. We were in awe that people actually live in cute homes like that. I guess we were so in awe, because we live in a 650 square feet apartment with roaches. Awwwwwwesome.


Our walk was cut short, due to the fact that I had to pee my pants off.
Since we were in the presence of cute homes, I didn't want to embarrass The Tedward by saturating my pantaloons.
We decided to stop in a nearby Carl's Jr...not for the healthy breakfast selection, but for the johns. Obviously.
Let me just say, "Praise The Lord!" and do 500 hundred "Hail Mary's!" for the beautifulness that was the Carl's Jr. bathroom. It was cleaner than mine at home.



We then headed to Beverly Hills to partake of these....



Now, The Busy Bee and The Tedward were rather skeptical, considering we don't like cake, and we don't like Paris Hilton, a frequent customer.
We planned to eat there in order to debunk the insane praise that this cupcake shoppe gets.
My friends...we were proven wrong.



We were like kids in a candy store....
Except for one difference...
We were kids in a cupcake storrrre!



I chose Red Velvet because I like the color red...and I like soft things. Obviously!
Ted chose Coconut, because I wanted to try it....and he didn't want to hear me complain if I didn't like the pretty, soft one.
Verdict: we like sprinkles.
the end.





We then walked down Rodeo Drive, admiring the stores that were to embarrassed to enter, because of the attire that The Tedward was wearing.
We were pretty sure the assistants at Chanel, and Dolce and Gabbana would NOT be amused by his 2004 Westwood Track and Field shirt.
le sigh...



As The Tedward and I were laughing about the prospect of us running into an actual celebrity,
sure enough...it happened.
Yes my friends...The Tedward actually RAN INTO ORLANDO BLOOOOOOOM!
Yes. I just said, ran into him!
He was coming out a restaurant as we were looking at something else, and they ran into each other! We said apologized, he smiled and walked on. We turned to each other a few seconds later and said simultaneously, "Was that?....Crap!"




Sadly, we did not get a picture. Mostly because we are idiots.
But, let me suffice it to say, we are pretty much BFF with him now.
Aint no thing...




And that is all of the posting you will get today!
Until next time!


PS...did you miss me?

The only celebrity that Busy Bee should run into is Robert Pattison. I guess Orlando is a close second..

Hi Lauren! I'm glad you enjoyed your vacay. I am jealous of the following things:

1. I've always wanted to visit California (Beverly Hills specifically).

2. Orlando Bloom! Love him!

Molly said...

Erica said...

I'm pretty jealous. I'd love to meet Orly. And pet his pretty hair. Ah.

It looks like you had so much fun! I'm so interested in Arizona and California. I'd really like to visit both one day since the furthest west I've ever been has been to Minnesota. (which has lots of lakes but was SUPER FREAKEN HOT with 90+ degree heat and I was expecting snow!).

Natalie Ann Ingram said...

Welcome back to the death sun of Arizona! You were missed although your guest posters did an amazing job. Can't wait to hear about the rest of your trip!!!


P.S. DId you ever figure the twitter thing out?

Just Your Typical Book Blog said...

Welcome back!! I would love to be out in sunny California right now and holyfrigginmolycrap! I would have keeled over seeing Orlando Bloom that is amazzzing!

Amber

amanda leeann said...

yes, you were missed. at least by me. however, your tweets kept me entertained!

i admire your courage to even walk down rodeo drive. i'm pretty sure i would feel way out of place.

those cupcakes look delicious. and i'm totally jealous your the tedward ran into orlando bloom. i used to have a poster of him in my room. true story. [even though it's embarrassing.]

Marianne said...

So fun to have you back! Your guest posters were great but they are not the real thing!(Except maybe the Momspice...she's the coolest!)

My biggest desire in life is to make a cupcake like Sprinkles or the Sweet Tooth Fairy does!! So far, no luck!

My daughters will die over your running into Orlando! Reminds me of when my oldest was in London on study abroad and a bunch of the girls literally ran into Noah Wylie in the doorway of the Underground train! He was so nice and asked if they were OK and assured them he was and ... SIGH!

THE Stephanie said...

Welcome back! Looks like a fabulous place to vacation to me!! Can't wait to hear all about it!

Lauren said...

Totally missed you! Can't wait for more pics!!

Ann Marie said...

I am so jealous about Orlando.
I used to want to make out with him--kinda alot. I probably would have died if I saw him...Did he look good?? Or scuzzy?

Of course you were missed! LOTS!

Alexandria said...

Yes we missed you!! Glad that you had some time off with the The Tedward!

Oh Sprinkles...how I love thee...
I live in Cali and we have a few of them one that is like three hours away (compared to 11 in LA) and we go ALL the time! The Key Lime and Red Velvet are teh BEST!!

Oh Lauren FYI Williams and Sonoma sells the Sprinkles mix and reciepe for the frosting! I have done lemon, red velvet, banana, and vanilla and they are AS good as the ones in the bakery!!

Stacey said...

Welcome back!! I'm glad you has an awesome vacay!

I can't believe you literally ran into Orlando Bloom! He is a cutie!

Kari said...

When Spinkles first opened near us in Palo Alto my hubby and I waited in line for 20 minutes to buy cupcakes. My sis-in-law has her own cupcake business and felt cheated on, but it was worth it!

tharker said...

I did miss you, although I really, REALLY enjoyed your mom's post. She should hijack more often! It is easy to see where you get your fantastic sense of humor from.

I can't wait to see and hear more of your vacation.

P.S.
I'm so glad you didn't pee your pants off ;)

Alyssa said...

Welcome back! You were missed, although the guest bloggers were appreciated so we didn't have to go 10 days with no posts!

Allen and Ashlyn said...

Allen and Ashlyn said...

welcome back! glad you had a fun trip! i remember sierra and kelci saying something about your orlando bloom "run-in," totally starstuck! [literally] excited to read about the rest of your adventures!!

brightonislove said...

So i TOTALLY know the feeling of being idiots for not getting a picture....

im from vegas, so of course we got married in vegas :) for the first 2 nights of our honeymoon we stayed in the trump hotel. on sunday morning we were both starving but didnt feel like paying millions of dollars for room service breakfast. SO, my husband ran to the closest place, mcdonalds. as he was walking in hands very full...he spilled orange juice all over the floor. right after he did so, who walks past? none other than the donald himself. they were the only ones in the little hallway. he still kicks himself for making himself look like an idiot AND not saying anything to him.....

Sara said...

I saw Keith Urban in a store in Nashville once. He bumped into me and said "Excuse me" all Austrailia-ey like. I just drooled a little bit and said, "it'sokaykeefuuban." And I'm not even a fan of his that much. I can't imagine what it would have been like if he had been someone I'm a fan of.

The Gomes Family said...

Yes, you were sure missed! Welcome back, can't wait to hear the stories of Cali and other adventures!

Mikaela said...

I just found your blog & love it!
I have never actually laughed out loud so much by reading someone's blog.
I even made my husband read a couple of your posts.
& your mom is hilarious too!

JustRandi said...

Jen said...

"Pretty much the only kind of "sunny" I like, is when the "sunny" is 73 degrees.
Arizona's kinda "sunny" is more like, "death". Just sayin'..."
Brilliant. Having grown up on the California coast, but now residing in AZ, I 110% agree!
Why have I never gone to Sprinkles?! It looks like heaven.

Jen said...

Oh, and yes, I missed you.

Cat said...

Can't wait to see the rest of your trip!
