LOVE On Saturday, two major events for me that set the happy tone for the rest of the long weekend. First, the Trojans kicked Virginia’s butt up and down the field 52-7 which put the team in #1 spot in AP poll. Watching Mark Sanchez, our new quarterback, TACKLED some dude to block for his running back (tailback?) was just awesome. Still high on the Trojan spirit, Brandon and I flit up to town for the wedding of our friend Elan to her beau Chris. The wedding took place at the beautiful hidden gem of Wilshire Ebell. Elan actually used...

What a whirlwind week I’m having so far! This weekend was shock full of activities with the bike shopping and the bike riding. Work has been just nuts. I just now realized that I have to do 3 Christmas duties BEFORE the end of October. And then all the stuff I postponed because of the conference last month started to pile up. I was knee deep in stuff to do. And then there’s this business of Celeste leaving the company. Did I mention that she’s leaving my office for a greener pasture? Well, she is. I am extremely happy for...

I have made a complete transitioned into piratehood last night as everything I drank was made with rum. Rum. Yum. I can blame Master Greg for this new addiction. The orange juice + 7up + rum that he had at his 4th of July party got me hooked. So if I’m don’t feel like a beer and can’t really handle a martini, I ended up asking the bartender to surprise me with “something with rum, just not coke”. Last night, as you might have seen the updates on my Twitter, was hell of fun. One of my rare impromptu night...

I am alive after our big event on Wednesday. We had an all-day class downtown today so it was like going to work, but not. Especially when the class was let out early and I did get to enjoy a raspberry mojito at the bar at the O Hotel. Oh, the manager comped me these “crack tots”, tater tots with truffle oil and horseradish dipping sauce. It was a good day to be away from the office, not working (but learning something new) after much madness. I have tons to write but I’m still buzzed after the bus ride so...

Upon arriving back at the house, Brandon mentioned that James needed to take a break for a while since he’s been with Dresden all day. So the boys plus Bob went to get donuts and coffee. Since neither of the girls had dinner yet, we packed Dresden in a car and headed out to pick up greasy goodness at John’s. Dresden was happy most of the time until he realized a) the car stopped moving, and later, b) he was finally really, really hungry. Otherwise, that kid was the happiest kid on the planet the entire time. See? Pretty much...

Welcome aboard the most patriotic bus in the region! Wishing everyone a safe and happy ID4! Me? Not doing much. Just chillin’ here with the hubby for the day. The biggest plan of the evening is me cooking up a couple of filet mignon for dinner. However, you can see from my Twitter history that last night at Master Greg was quite fun. I went to the party with Aurora. Poor thing, Dresden was a little brat all day apparently. Well, until we were leaving the house when he was in an absolute bliss, laughing and cooing all over the...
