Weekend Update

Thankfully, I'm feeling better after being in Atlanta. This weekend was interesting to say the least. Friday, a friend of mine who I used to teach with in Atlanta flew in from NYC with her friend. It was great seeing her again! We went to a nice jazz club up in Seal Beach and then down to Main Street in Huntington Beach. I don't drink anymore, so going to clubs and bars are not my thing (so I don't know many key "California" places to hang out). Nonetheless, it was fun to hang out with her!

Saturday, I recovered from the night before (we didn't get in until 3am) and then decided to go to Laguna Beach for lunch. We ate at a great little spot right on the beach. I love that I'm so close to everything here in SoCal. I definitely need to take better advantage of what I have access to these days! After lunch, I came home and took a nap then met Robert for a date to the movies. We went to see "Lakeview Terrace." A good movie, suspenseful ending, but probably nothing I'd buy for my DVD collection. I think my favorite thing about going to the movies is being able to sit close to Robert anyway, so that was definitely accomplished! :) We headed to a frozen yogurt stand afterwards that was giving away free yogurt (can't beat that!) and then went back home.

Sunday, Robert and I went to church. We're in the middle of our "40 Days of Love" series. Robert had to leave soon after church to go take his son to his baseball game. Normally I would have gone to watch, but we were going to meet up later that afternoon to go to a hockey game at the Honda Center. I wanted to catch up on my laundry. The Anaheim Mighty Ducks were playing the Vancouver Canucks, and after three fights on the ice, tied score at the end of the game and still tied in overtime, the Ducks lost to the Canucks in a shoot-out. Very entertaining night!

We got home just in time for me to catch the series premiere of Desperate Housewives. Should be interesting this year! I gotta give props to Eva Longoria for being willing to gain weight for her role. I wouldn't do it!

I woke up last night to the sound of thunder. That rarely EVER happens out here... thunder. It was definitely an odd sound to hear. It's our first rain of the Fall and has been cloudy all day (after a beastly weekend). I just pray the fires don't come again this year, so hopefully this helped "wet" things down a bit.

That's the update on me for this past weekend!
