Happy Monday (blah). Haha! Well, it's the end of the day at least and I'm blogging - yippie! I can't believe the weekend is already over. This was a fast one for sure, but still fun! Friday was SeaWorld night, so Todd and I met up with my family after work to see a bunch of shows and go on kiddie rides. We even watched the fireworks, which I hear slash see on a regular basis, but have never actually watched from inside the park. Saturday was a lazy day, but nice. It was nice to relax! Jennie came down later in the night and us girls plus Todd and Eli headed to PB to meet up with Steph and friends. It was really great to see my old roomie! I miss her a lot, but her job and life in NYC sound amazing. It's so crazy how different of a city New York is from little, laid-back San Diego. And on to Sunday, one of the best days ever! I picked my mom up in the afternoon and we got our makeup down at Bobbi Brown, then headed to RA Sushi for dinner. Neither of us got real sushi (I got a veggie roll), but it was delicious. Especially because we got the pineapple wontons - yum! After dinner, we walked down to the Civic Centre to see THE PHANTOM! And, boy was it wonderful. I was really impressed by everything. They did a great job of making the set look exactly like the Majestic Theater. And, I think this cast one of the best I have ever seen. The Phantom in this version was a lot more dark and scary... less romantic and more, psychotic. Plus, this cast used a lot more comedy, too. I really loved it (if you can't tell). It was also really nice to have a girls day/night with my mom. We'll have to do that more often! I'll be seeing the show again in 10 days (my birthday!) and I'm already looking forward to it. Elysia (who also went last night) might want to go again, so maybe I'll go with her, too. Wow, I'm obsessed a bit :)
Alright, time to pack things up here. But, if you're looking for some new music, check out The Cab. My best friend, Alyx, introduced them to me and I'm hooked!
Back from the Weekend.
Hi!
It's a gloomy, un-summer-like day in SD. It's making me feel sleepy. Oh - I take that back, the sun is just starting to peek through the overcastness. I'm still sleepy though.
Anyway, last night was a lot of fun! I went to my mom's for the season premier of Project Runway! I have really become addicted to that show. It makes me wish I could be a designer. My little sister is crazy making beaded bracelets and necklaces lately and we were taking about taking knitting lessons at the store where she buys all of her beads. My creativity (minus all the writing I do) has been brushed aside and I really miss doing art and plays and other things like that. I've been really wanting to take a ceramics class for a while and while I really don't want to take tests, I've been looking into a class at one of the community colleges in the area. I was also trying to find a theatre group that Elysia and I could join, but no luck yet. Let me know if you know of anything good! I guess I just need to find a hobby. I miss the days of extra-curricular activities - dancing, etc. That's another thing I've been looking into! I found some studios around my house that offer classes for pretty cheap. Basically, I need to get motivated and start signing up for things!
Last weekend was a lot of fun and it's so worth writing about even if we're only a day away from another one... everyone went wine tasting in Temecula! It was the perfect day full of tasty wine, sunshine and friends. We even went line dancing at night, which is always a lot of fun. They actually just opened a new line dancing bar in downtown that I think we might check out on Saturday. I'll let you know how it is! Steph (my old roomie who moved to the NYC area) is coming home for the weekend, so we have a lot of catching up to do. It will be nice to have her back for a couple of days.
Okay, back to work. Or off to lunch. Not sure which one yet :)
Join, or Die
Todd and I have been watching HBO's John Adams like crazy. I love it (obviously) and it's making me count down the days even more until my trip to Boston. I can't wait! Todd already pressed play on the next episode, but check out the theme song. It's great! :)
