Long weekend
Friday: Made my way up the 5 with my friend Linda driving and Yogi trying to find a comfortable spot on my lap. Pit stop in Irvine to pick up Linda's sister and indulge in the yummy-ness that is 85 Degrees Celsius Bakery. I am so tempted to drive the 40 minutes down to Irvine just to get some more maple brick toast.
Attended a friend's farewell party because she finally had enough and quit the company she was working for. So many drunk people. A very entertaining night!
Saturday: Barbecue at Granada Park with Brenda, Gen and Brenda's old friends from the old AHS badminton team. The food was not bad, the people were relatively normal and there were children and a very small dog. The poor dog had a limp.
Then had dinner with Andy, Ray, and Tiffy at Japon Bistro. Wendy gave many suggestions and we were stuffed to the gills by the end of the night. I love their Japanese seafood spaghetti.
Went to Ray's place after dinner and watched Dr. Who and played Rock Band. Very cool.
Sunday: Breakfast with family. Festival of Books at UCLA with Ray, Julie and Jen. Lots of walking. Ironically, not enough books.
Pit stop at Pasadena on the way home with Ray. Never again. Bought SO MANY sweets. Ray is evil.
Dinner at Claim Jumper's with the family because I had a serious craving for pot pie. I also wanted the Jamaican jerk chicken but there's only so much food I'm allowed to order. Attempted to get other family members to order it so I could pick off their plate but no success. Next time!
Did laundry - total mess - and then Brenda arrived unexpectedly at my door to go back to San Diego. I say 'unexpectedly' because I left my phone upstairs and she tried calling three times before giving up and just showing up. Had to rush through laundry - which is very difficult - and then took off to San Diego.
Now it is Monday and I have to go to the market because Brenda was like "Please go to the market. We don't have any food." Our eating habits are very very bad.
