Slacking

Man, have I been slacking on my blog or what?? I really need to get on here more so I can update y'all a bit better.

Can't believe it's been almost 6...yes SIX...months since I've written a thing. My how time flies...

Let's see...traveled to Florida in February for a week. Chris was working on a fishing show with a friend out of Ft. Lauderdale so I flew in and we checked out South Beach and spent a whopping 24 hours on Key West. That was a highlight for me...I got to see Hemingway's house AND eat my way through the Keys via Key Lime Pie! FYI...The Blond Giraffe on Key West by FAR has the best KL pie...just in case you were wondering. (pic on left is me in Hemingway's writing room...pic on right...well, duh!)














In April Chris and I headed to Houston, TX for five days to spend time with his family...we spent most of out time on the beach in front of their house on Galveston Island. Hot, humid, fun. (here we are in front of Richard's On The Bay on Galveston Island...restaurant)


A week later the fam came out here from Texas to see Chris's little sister, Katie. She was touring with Broadway's "The Light in the Piazza" which was at the OC Performing Arts Center in Costa Mesa...again, we spent most of our time on the beach in front of the Montage in Laguna seeing as we were having a CA heat wave! 90's!! (baby seal that got separated from his mommy out on the rocks in front of the Montage Resrot...with his friend, Mr. Seagull!)


Memorial Day was spent at a friend's BBQ in the Hollywood Hills followed by some HEAVY drinking at the "Woods" off of La Brea (formally the Lava Lounge)...the next day we stayed in bed nursing our fabulous hangovers!!


And lastly...the most recent news is that Chris and I celebrated our 2 year anniversary on June 1...we went down to Dana Point and stayed in the Blue Lantern Inn above the harbor. The view was FABULOUS!! All of the rooms face the ocean, have a fire place and a jacuzzi tub for one in the bathroom. We had snacks and wine in the late afternoon followed by a lovely dinner (complete with mud pie and a candle to celebrate!) at the Chart House. The next day we checked out the Dana Point Boat Show and then hit up the Mission San Juan Capistrano. We ate at El Adobe...oh hells yea on the Lobster tacos!! Then we set off down Ortega Hwy. (stopping at the Ortega Oaks Candy Store of course for some chocolate honeycomb!) and headed back up to LA. All in all a fantastic night and day...too bad I didn't bring a camera!

Patriots V. Chargers

TAILGATING!!!



Hey all...been awhile since i've been online. Need to make a mental note to self on that one!

Self: get your ass online more often and write crap down so your friends and family know what's happening in your life!!

So...as the header reflects...I went to San Diego last weekend after getting last minute tickets (thank you thank you thank you Ticketmaster for releasing some tix for us SoCal peeps the night before the game!). Ended up going with my friend Jen, an AVID Giants fan (bless her little heart for wearing the Brady jersey I forced upon her...although, damn her for covering it up and adamantly stating that she was indeed a Giants fan when people questioned her about the Pats!).

The day started with a train ride at 8am from Union Station to Old Town San Diego, followed by a short trolley journey which dropped us off front and center at Qualcomm Stadium. We then tailgated with umpteen million Charger's fans...one of which hollered out my name as I walked by, much to my surprise. Turned out it was my old buddy, Morgan, from high school of all things...and he had been my first kiss! Hehehehe. Odd to bump into him...

Our seats were GREAT! 50 yard line just above the field...sat there until the half at which time we moved down to some seats with friends (they snuck up their tix for us so we could come down)...and they were ON THE FIELD...3rd row, 50 yard line! Lovely view of the player's behinds. :)

After our amazing win I cheered loudly and heckled ALL the people around me since we WERE in the Charger's section...

We left the game, drunk as skunks, and found ourselves standing in the 5000 people deep trolley line. Of course, we ended up missing our train back to LA so we spent an hour in a brewery Downtown until we could catch the 8:30 train. So after a long ass day of fun screaming and drinking...we FINALLY made it back to La La Land around 11:30pm. Needless to say, I was not a happy camper come morning when i had to go to work!!

Good times had by all...jut too bad we didn't pull it off against the darn Colts. :(
