Rats!

Another fabulous day. Went to the Sepulveda gym again, stairclimber, treadmill, did weights with Matt. Spent 2 wonderful hours swimming and tanning and another hour and a bit reading in a cabana! Oh how I love it.

Went home and got ready for dinner with the boys. Rich, Sean and Doug were in town because they've been driving around to various states going to baseball games everywhere. So I met them for dinner in Venice... but they were 40 minutes late. Thank goodness I always carry a book in my purse! But it turned out wonderfully because they bought my dinner in lieu of their tardiness! We went to somewhere on Abbot Kinney that started with Po_______. Why oh why can i never remember the names of restaurants on Abbot Kinney?! Anyways it was delicious! And it was soooooooooo wonderful seeing the boys. Cause I hadn't hung out with any of them in a LONG time, so it was so fun catching up! We filled each other in on lives, Rich a.k.a. The Cupcake Hero (Summer 2007, Ben's bday, he found Jen and I the last two cupcakes in the joint) asked my advice on the best cupcakes in town (Sprinks obvi) and we talked about the wonderfulness of LA. Oh and rich and I split a wonderful cookie/ice cream dessert. It's the most fun thing ever going out with boys who like sweets as much as i do! Band hangman was also an ongoing part of dinner and I impressed the boys with my mad skills. Eg. guessed "Alice in Chains" after only the I's and the E's were listed. We talked about tattoos (rich's advice to me: No more sleeved guys), my naivete and how i always think the best of situations (vs. rich thinking the worst) - this transpired because he was joking with the waitress all night long and then some new waitress brought the bill and he was concerned that he'd offended her. Oh and we also acknowledged the fact that both Rich and I love using the word "rats!"

After our long and wonderful dinner I dropped the boys at The Brig (Briggs' namesake) and headed for home. I loooove visitors!

Tuesday

First day of school. Today was actually hot out! It felt like Toronto! But before school I went to yoga. School was good, well, Presentation Techniques was good. So wonderful to be reunited with Taylor, Akela and Deeann! And Mr. Harper is badass and so is coloring. We got 47 shiny beautiful markers and i can't wait to do my homework! Lighting Design. Two words: Snooze Fest. We spent 6-8:45 listening to our monotone teacher who reads from notes and doesn't make contact with the class. 9 more weeks. We can do it. Both classes seem really intense though, tons of homework, I'm gonna save it alllll up and doing while i'm with Dorian. He just looooooooves it when i'm doing homework!!! Oh and news of the day! Lambert bought a ticket to LA today leaving TOMORROW! So pumped! I love all my visitors!

Goodbye to The Hills. Series finale blew goats.
