Weekend Wrap-Up

What a fun weekend!

Friday night I hit the grocery store then went home to relax and install the Wordpress upgrade. The installation was pretty uneventful, save for the weird email notification thing that is driving me mad. (Any Wordpress gurus willing to help me?) I haven’t really noticed many differences with 2.0, although the post preview is way cool. Other than that, it looks pretty. I know, I’m a dork.

Saturday afternoon I did the eyebrow/mani/pedi thing then got back to the City in time to meet up with Annabel Lee, Eve (who needs to start a damn blog already), and Tamara for wine and a delicious dinner at Pomodoro (not the new chain of the same name), my all-time favorite tiny Italian place on the Westside.

Following dinner we caravanned over to Boardwalk 11 for Paul’s Karaoke-A-Go-Go night and had an absolute blast. Some of us, ahem, who shall rename nameless, had a lot of alcohol and performed a few songs that had the crowd really going. By the way Paul, I didn’t hear any Greatest American Hero songs. What gives?

While at the party, I also got a chance to catch up with David and Jamie, and I think David has given me the motivation I needed to really get cracking on my book proposal. As always, it was wonderful to see them and we really do need to hang out again sometime soon!

The entire set of pictures can be found here.

Today is a much needed lazy day. I’m going to sleep, clean, do laundry, read, write, and bake. Yep, a new recipe. Details to come.

I’ve read about last night now on all three of your blogs. One running theme is how Eve needs a blog. If I read it on four blogs, wouldn’t I become way too jealous of how much you guys had?

Elise, thanks! I’ve been wearing it curly like 90% of the time since I got it chopped. Today is the first day in months that I’ve straightened it!

This is the bad part about living out here in the Inland Empire. The only “Pomodoro” we get is the boring chain variety.

Thanks for the pics, they look fun & thanks for the labels too. Now we know the players better! And that Eve already sounds smart. But we’ll be cautious about ever getting between any of the crew and an open mic. That would be really dangerous from the looks of it.
Cheers& Good Luck ‘VJ’
