Weekend Wrap-Up
Friday
Emailed Midwest Guy and said I had a great time. Then emailed CL Guy and gave him a piece of my mind. (Save the emails. I needed to do it for myself.) Speaking of CL Guy, although he has not called, he apparently is not in the hospital nor missing any fingers that would enable one to dial a phone as he–big surprise–has a new ad up. Is it evil of me to hope I gave him mono?
Anyway, that evening I came home from work, finished hypocrite in a pouffy white dress (loved it!), did four loads of laundry, watched some stuff on my TiVo, and crashed.
Saturday
Slept in, went to the store, then got my nails and eyebrows done. Came home, checked my email–got a response from Midwest Guy thanking me for the nice note and for showing him The Well and Toi. He also asked, “You have any good spots for next time?”. Yay!
That evening, I met up with Annabel Lee for dinner and a Blockbuster night. We rented Flightplan, which had us alternately freaking out and laughing out loud. It was a fun, and much needed, chill night.
Sunday
Slept in, and in an attempt to avoid any and all LA Marathon and Hollywood and Highland traffic (anyone know why that intersection was closed?), stayed home and baked cupcakes (recipe here). I like the cupcake a lot, but the frosting is a little too fudgey for my taste. I think if I made them again, I’d use my regular buttercream frosting.
Tonight was a Big Brothers/Big Sisters mixer at The Spanish Kitchen. I was asked to speak about my experience as a Big, and although I was a little nervous, I had a blast chatting with prospective and current Bigs. And, I dragged AL with me once again, and she is set to attend an orientation in a few weeks–I’m so excited for her. In other Big Sister news, I was also asked to attend their next recruitment meeting, and I’m really looking forward to becoming more involved in such a great organization. On a side note, we were told we had to leave the restaurant by 9:30 because Paris Hilton and her entourage were taking it over later tonight. When we left, the paparazzi were already lining the sidewalk. Only in LA.
