IT's official...

I'm going to Spokane, WA in August. Spokane!?! I know...it's insane! I'll have to use up some work hours to browse the interweb for things to see/do. He is one lucky boy, as I've been shopping way too much at V.S. for cute stuff. I'm so excited!

Oy, what a weekend

Or should maybe it should read "What a Friday"

Started off the evening at Jack and Buster's house. From what I can recall, I found good parking right away. I think I may have blacked-out because I don't remember much after that. I think we went to Downtown to a bar called 7grand. You had to go up a couple of flights of stairs and I'm quite surprised I didn't fall down. I was wearing heels afterall. Went up to the bar and ordered everyone drinks. Hey, I was feeling a bit generous. Sigh...I wish I can remember the rest of the evening.

Yesterday, Buddy and I went to watch Evan Almighty. It was a pretty entertaining movie. I heart Steve Carrel and since the movie was receiving mixed review, I had to support him. There was a little girl sitting right behind us, who had a case of the giggles. Her laugh was so infectious, I found myself laughing at some scenes that she and I only found funny.

Can't wait for vacay! The following month, I'm going to visit G again.

I'm a bad work-out partner

Yesterday, I was supposed to meet with Jack at the gym. I left work a little early to tend to the puppy, so I had time to motivate myself for a sweat session.

Instead, I went to Happy Hour with Mel at El Torito Grille, which, coincidentally, is located downstairs from my gym. After a few rounds of cuba libres, I was done.

I suck.

Out of energy

Since coming home from my trip to Seattle, I've been running on "E". I've been running around every day, working, while trying to keep an active social life. And to add, my puppy contracted a cough while I was away. She's been keeping me up most of the night, but I don't mind. I feel terrible that she got sick while I was away at play.

The rest of June looks to be very busy for me - a couple of shows, movie at Hollywood Cemetary on Sunset blvd (how fun!), Buddy's 16th birthday, movies, an evening at LACMA, shopping, eating out, etc etc. I'm sure some sleep time will be squeezed in there!

This season's Top Chef is going to be good!!

I'm back

At 2:00PM on Saturday, I went to the Burbank airport to check in my luggage for my Seattle flight. After printing out my boarding ticket, which read 5:40 boarding time, I went to Annie and Andy's wedding, not too far from the airport. The ceremony was sweet, Annie looked great, and Andy didn't have a beard (must have whacked it off after the Indian ceremony.) It ended at about 3:15, and the reception didn't start til 4:30.

A bunch of us headed down to Tujunga for the reception and waited around for the open-bar to begin...yaay for open-bar weddings!! I had my eye on the time since I didn't want to miss my boarding time. At 5:25, the wedding party was introduced to the reception. As soon as they announced the newly wed couple, I hopped in the car, drove back to the airport like a maniac. As soon as I got to terminal B, with an increased heart rate, an up-do, and MAC make-up still intact, it was 5:38!! With 2 minutes to spare, I perused the snack stand, but couldn't decide on peanuts or cashews. As I got closer to the podium, I noticed the boarding time started with a 6. Turns out, it was changed to 6:45!! Oh well, a girl can only learn from this lesson.

On my flight, I sat next to this really cool chick, Valerie. She was a talker, but she put me at ease, and the 2 hours went by rather quickly, aside from the free booze on the plane! OH YEAH! She had her coors light, and I with my Jack and Diet...mmmmm...we tried to pay the flight attendant, but she wouldn't take our money. As we approached to Seattle, I became anxious and excited to see G again. Valerie and I continued to make girl talk as we made our way throught the Sea-Tac airport with a slight buzz, and I spotted his shaved head amongst the crowd of welcomers. After Valerie and I exchanged numbers and said our good-bye, I ran to G's arms....aah, that felt good!

Overall, the trip was awesome. We had such a good time...I can't wait to see him again!

W E D D I N G S

I have three weddings to attend this year -
Annie and Andy in Burbank this Saturday
Cherryl and Jojit at the Wynn in Las Vegas in July
Melissa and Marcel in Elysian Park on Sept 15 (My bday!)

I'm excited for both couples; excited to shop for shoes and dresses, although I probably have a dozen to chose from.

I'm flying to Seattle this Saturday after the wedding. Can't wait!
