Piece of Work!

of all the people i ended up partying with last night, mr. andrew sousa really surprised the hell out of me. what a trooper. after the AIDS walk reception at the abbey, we went to HERE and finished off the evening. maybe it was best that shona left early. lol

he's a real piece of work, a good piece. because we had a great time. and sorry for dropping my drink on your foot. i hope you didn't get any glass in it when the glass shattered.

I am getting old or tire easily these days

What a nice weekend. It was non stop. I felt as if I didn't rest at all. Saturday started early in preparation for Wyla's 1 year bday! What a great party. I was so pleased with the turnout, the spread, everything. The weather was beautiful, the patio was decorated so lovely. When I get the photos up I will add a link. That baby is just too cute I can't stand it.

My Sunday was just as lovely, but more about ME! Shona, Andy, KLowe and myself enjoyed a lovely brunch cruise around the marina. Free-flowing Champagne and buffet. They screwed up my reservation of course so we had two tables on the end with open windows. It was just perfect. Andy was on his best behavior (KLowe was too) and I didn't overeat or indulge in the sweets at the dessert table. It wasn't cheap, but definitely something I can do once every couple of months.

We went to costco after and spoiled outselves even more!

Last night was dinner in Little Tokyo. Robin's friends were down from San Luis for the weekend so we all had a tasty meal at OO Masa (sp?) - you know what i say, "You don't spell it son, you eat it!"

Happy Monday! It was so nice to wake up to RAIN this morning. Where in the hell did that come from? Although short-lived, it was nice. I do feel really exhausted today. Back to work blues. Makes me feel so old... in a good way of course!

What's your secret?

today is the beginning of my new life...

i am starting over today...all good things are coming to me today...

i am grateful to be alive...i see beauty all around me...

i live with passion and purpose....i take time to laugh and play everyday....

i am the perfection in life...

i am grateful to be...me...

today is the best day of my life...

(thank you robin!)

nothing to write about today - so here's some breaking news

SoCal Brush Is So Dry Even Goats Won't Eat It

LOS ANGELES -- A record lack of rainfall in Southern California has left brush and grasses so dry that they're even unappetizing to the brush-clearing goats.
Fire officials say it's the first time in years they can't use goats to help clear hillsides to prevent brush fires. The region has had so little rain that goats wouldn't get much nourishment from brittle brush.
Goats are used by many fire agencies to eat through underbrush. They're especially helpful in areas where controlled burns are too risky or terrain is too difficult for humans to navigate.

In May, even the Getty Museum brought in goats to help clear the brush around the grounds.
And just last month, residents rounded up a herd of goats that wandered into the Mountaingate area. Maybe the grass seemed greener there :)

party was a success!

i can't believe it's humpday already. i haven't even had a chance to write and i worked from home two days this week. amazing.

anyway, the party on sunday was great. the food was awesome, the drinks were endless, and the people were happy. i even got to use the patio heater.

happy bday scottie! and thanks to all who came to celebrate and unwind on a lovely sunday summer evening.

ciao

so so so ready for the weekend!

even with the 4th of july holiday i feel like this week will never end. i am excited for my weekend. it started out with nothing to do. my initial plan was to take all of my screens off and clean them. luckily adriana invited me to a bbq tomorrow afternoon. before that i'll be out shopping for the party on sunday. that's right. i am having a party for my friend scott at my place. need to get some propane uh-kay!?

sunday robin and the baby will go to the pasadena flea market in the morning. very excited about that. i might even find a dining room table. then of course the party is in the evening. i hope the weather is nice.

oh tonight is some play that my big queen i mean friend jessee (aka the red queen) told us about. so i'll be picking up shona and andy along the way. we can't seem to figure out what to do for dinner which is disturbing.

have a great weekend.

early out!

oh boy oh boy! the partners have blessed us with the gift of an early out today. i get to go home at 3:30! the question is, does a true entrepreneur just go home at 3:30? NO! i'll be working in the car, when i get home, during dinner, in bed.

it is what it is uh-Kay!?

happy early 4th of July! I think my next post will be before the weekend. It's Scotty's bday party this weekend (yours truly will be hosting).

ciao
