Our Busy "Not Busy" Weekend
Steve and I were quite excited about having no plans this weekend because we could chill out, spend time together, and not stress... Yeah, that didn't work out. We had a fun weekend, but it wasn't as calm as we'd imagined.
Friday night started off easy enough. We had dinner at Reservoir, a new restaurant in Silver Lake not far from our house. The outdoor patio was full so we sat inside.
Everything at Reservoir feels simple but perfectly executed: soft, yellow lighting that calmly illuminates the space, giant windows along one wall so you see Silver Lake's beautiful hillsides, small tables where diners lean in to talk about the week's events, and a warm feeling throughout. The food is seasonal and lovely-- Steve has the skirt steak with faron and veggies while I had salmon with roasted potatoes. Yummy. Next time we hope to sit on the patio because in the warm summer nights it's going to be perfection.
Then Saturday hit and things got a bit crazy. It started with a trapeze class where Steve and I worked out with our friend Lacey (pictured here). Steve and I started taking classes together over a year ago, but he hurt his shoulder and didn't come back. However, now that some of his work friends suggested coming, he's been back into it.
The thing about Saturday's class was there were only three of us so the workout was really harsh. My muscles were aching, and I'm getting some more nasty bruises on me. It's time to hit the health store soon and buy a bunch of homeo-something-or-others for muscle fatigue and bruising.
On the plus side, when there are new people in class you tend to take more pictures, so here are a couple.
Steve likes this last one because he looks hot. I agree.
Okay, I'd write about everything else that happened (Including Star Trek screenings and calling Joe "Jim" while at a bar) but I need to start my work day. More tomorrow...
