Party Time?

Dorian is back! And you know what that means - PARTY TIME! Or so he would hope. "Did you forget who you were coming to visit? Leigh and I don't party."

Today was a wonderful day, and the BEST part about it was that all day I was thinking it was Saturday... BUT IT'S THURSDAY!

Woke up and went on a steamy hot hike. I was at the canyon by 7:30 and it was already no shirt weather. It was a hot and sweaty hike and the running part nearly killed me, but I did it. (With the help of Miley & Drake). And then got a delicious super maca smoothie for breakfast from Real Raw Live. Went home, my apartment was already a sauna, set up a carefully constructed fan/breeze circuit which managed to cool it down, but still hid out in the kitchen (the coolest room) to do my homework. (Which makes sense. My drafting table is in the kitchen). Arranging my 47 rendering markers into rainbow order took QUITE some time (what comes first: eggshell or cream? light cerulean blue or sky blue?), and I didn't even get a chance to start on my color chart because it was time for pilates!

So i went to pilates. Gotta love Jen's class. Leigh didn't show though which was a huge disappointment. Went home, emailed some work samples for a possible internship and then headed on over to the beach house. Got there before the boys so Leigh and I had a nice catchup reunion! I missed her so much! We marvelled about how wonderful Dawn is, how light my hair is, and about various other news that we hadn't really discussed.

The boys got home, bearing popsicles. The only popsicles i like are banana or chocolate. These ones were cherry pineapple. I ate one anyways so i wouldnt hurt their feelings. We then ventured out on "The Open Road" our favorite bike path! They hadn't eaten lunch yet (it was 4:00) so we went and got them lunch at that mendocino restaurant or whatever its called, which was followed by beloved pinkberry! We then explored a sailing store, tried to convince dave to have his birthday on a boat (he said no because of seasickness) and reminisced about cottage times.

We then went biking all around Marina Del Ray, went to some bar by the pier and got drinks (water for me, margaritas for them), walked along the pier, biked some more to check out a bunch of really cool houses - the coolest being a black shingle style one at the very end (or beginning) of the boardwalk. We then made plans to bike to Manhattan. By this point it was like 7:00. I was shocked! The day had gone by so quickly - for some reason i was thinking it was 3, but Leigh reminded me i didnt get to daves til after 3. So we biked home, and sat on the roof and watched the sunset while discussing roadkill, smashed dirt bikes, snowmobiles and cars. Oh... and the fact that a certain person can now track my whereabouts if i start using a certain iphone. I don't like that one bit!

We then went for dinner. Sushi on Abbot Kinney. It was funny at dinner cause Dorian started telling this story really enthusiastically and i started imitating him, and Leigh's like "you make fun of him but you do the exact same thing!" And it's soooooo true. He really is the boy version of me. We were all falling asleep at dinner (barely talking... it was funny), so we got outta there as soon as possible and then I headed back home. To the sauna that is Beverly Hills. I need to move to the beach... when i'm done school.

I'm so excited for the next two weeks! Disneyland, golfing, beaching, surfing, bike riding, Dave's birthday, aerosol pancake batter eating parties....(?) and whatever other adventures we happen to go on!
